Any Sonora Gold Land Cruisers out there? (1 Viewer)

[MattH]

I have been looking for a 100 for several months now. A couple of nice ones have slipped by me. Found a Sonora Gold one pretty close to me that I plan to look at with decent miles and price. I am not sold on the color. Does anyone else have one? Got any pics of it dirty? I am not big on washing vehicles too often, so I wondered if a nice coat of dirt and grime might soften the gold.

Help!

I looked at one locally in Houston..... it was REALLY gold..... I couldn't get my head around it given that...

where are you ?

 

[MattH]

Im in SC.

@Michael - Thanks - but I'm only looking for 06, 07 models with as close to 100k miles as possible. Will be a daily driver for many year to come at about 20K miles a year for me.

Go look at it in person. I looked at an '06 Sonora Gold a couple of years ago when searching for mine. It looked better in person than in the pics, but it was still my last color choice. I ended up with Black, which was my second to last color choice, but now I love it!

My '04 is gold. It's the perfect color for how I use it, mostly to go into the sandy backroads and dunes along the Great Lakes. The sand gives it a nice matching 2-tone look However, I think I'm an outlier on MUD because I also have the gold emblem package and like it a lot on my cruiser. I don't have any photos of it dirty handy.

I'm quite a large fan of mine. I was a bit skeptical from the dealer pictures online until I saw it in person. These pictures arent the best quality and it's clean here, but it looks pretty much the same when its dirty. It looks much much more tan in person.

Here's a few more.

I must admit, it looks better with no running boards and in real life situations.

Just my 2 cents worth: At this point with the model becoming rarer, and your hopes on it being a 06-07 with low miles, you have to worry less about the color, than your other two priorities. Gold isn't my first choice either, but certainly not my last choice.

80s imposter on the thread. Just got back from paint and body. Original 4k1. Now 4r3.

Wasn’t my first choice either, but she was an ‘08 with only 55K miles on her. Grew to love the color.

I think Sonora Gold looks fine. Looks really good built. If it’s in great condition with lot of maintenance done any color will do IMHO

best color! Looks so good in a mountain or dessert land scape!

Best color

After looking at a lot of LC's I ended up with a gold one - can't say it was my first choice of colors. It is a one family owned, well maintained truck in overall excellent shape. Has pretty extensive service records as well and looks pretty good underneath. Original paint. Now trying to decide what wheels/tires to put on it. Running boards are coming off next week . No dirty pics....yet.

Everyone in here sounds like a parent that didn't actually want kids.

"Well I never liked or wanted old man tan but I couldn't imagine life without it now that I'm attached to it".

Hahaha I like that. That's the thought with mine.
