And it came to pass that my wife decided our Land Cruiser just isn't "nice enough" anymore. I'm sure many of you will suggest trading in the wife and not the Land Cruiser, but while I love them both, the wife wins out. And to be fair to her, she does "know what we've got" - and part of her argument is that we really don't use it to its full potential - it should spend more time in the woods and on trails and less time sitting in the driveway and cruising down the highway. I had intended to keep it for another 50-100k miles and have "invested" in it with that goal in mind.
Notable Maintenance:
This vehicle has not been a garage queen, but it hasn’t been used as a commuter either. I’ve averaged 8400 miles per year of my ownership. I predominantly use it for camping, road trips, and ham-radio support activities. I’ve maintained it with the intention of seeing 300k miles and I would not hesitate to drive it to Prudhoe Bay tomorrow. I would keep it, but I don’t have the space for an extra car, and it isn’t financially feasible either.
