So I've signed the papers to trade my '08 Landcruiser for a '13 Seq Platinum. Sad and excited (and a bit pissy that I have to wait 4-8 more weeks to take delivery because Red Rock is so dang rare).
Anyway, the cruiser was clearly overkill for the wheeling that I routinely find around home (we don't climb rocks up here, so everything else is cake). I've kept it this long because i am such a geek for over-engineered vehicles: every time I drove it, it put a smile on my face.
But long road trips with growing family, both in numbers and total height, are too frequently taking that smile right away. Hence, 4wd Toyota Luxury Bus (AKA Sequoia) to the rescue!
The point of my post:
My LC needed nothing aftermarket to protect it and make sure that it brought me home even when I did something stupid off-road.
I would appreciate your experience, research and sources for customizing this rare rig. My focus is suspension, sliders, skid plates and maybe a brake upgrade.
Thanks for feedback.
