Time to start a build thread for our new to us 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser. This will be a very minimal build and will be over a long period of time, since its the wife's daily. We traded in our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 that we thought would be our last mom mobile for a while, but it wasn’t up to par in several categories. Also the wife was ready to be back in a large suv like her old Tahoe.
Once we decided it was time for the Silverado to go I narrowed down the replacement to a Yukon XL, new Expedition, Sequoia, and LC200. We needed a people hauler and tow rig for a camper we aim to get in 2019. After owning my lx470 for nearly a year we both grew to love it and that played a big part in deciding what our new replacement would be. We test drove a Sequoia and a 200. The wife preferred the 200 by a good margin. I already wanted the 200 over the sequoia, but ultimately came down to her decision.
I shopped for a few months and found two that met my qualifications in Tennessee. We ended up going to Nashville and got this one. We bought it with 110,000 miles on January 14, 2019.
The mod list I can envision will be slider steps and tires, but not in any hurry to start racking of mods since I've got the LX for offroad activities and exploring.
The first picture, note the old Z71 in the background. Out with the old in with the older.

Next to the lx470. We are a 2 cruiser family now
