Greetings everyone. Jerry here in the greater Kansas City area. New member and first-time poster. I recently bought my dream car...a '17 Land Cruiser. I traded in my 2014 4Runner Limited for this beauty. I found this website a few days ago, and I'm really geeked to be a part of a community of folks who share a love of offroading, LCs,/Toyotas, the outdoors, etc. Apologies if this isn't the correct spot to say hello. I looked for newbie threads but they were all related to specifics offroading groups. Anyway, best wishes to everyone and hope you all are safe and healthy.

You are definitely in the right place - welcome aboard!

Nice color ;)
 
Welcome. I’m in the KC area too. Not too many KC 200 but a few. Good to have one more. You may also be interested in the Tornado Alley Cruisers club forum.

Hello kcjaz. Good to meet you. I've never been offroad, other than a gravel road here and there in my 4Runner. I suppose it's time! Stay cool today.
 
Interior shot. At first, I was a bit doubtful about the color combination. Now I think it's gorgeous. Just curious...is there any backlash against 200s and their owners? I mean, most of the newer ones look like mine....never seen a dirt road. :frown:

Thanks again guys for the kind words.

Backlash from whom about what? In my observation very few people I run into have any idea what a land cruiser is, nor do most of them care. It's just another suv. I can't tell you how many people on a regular basis ask what mine is... it happened again just yesterday. Those that know what it is have always been very complimentary ("nice rig" is the most common comment after "what brand/model is that?"). I can't tell you how many people (clearly not "car people") thought it was a Highlander, Land Rover or an Explorer. My only regrets from the modifications I've done is that it now attracts more attention. I like how "under the radar" the stock Land cruiser is.

CharlieS, I read something somewhere - sorry I can't remember - about some offroaders hating-on the newer, "luxurious" Land Cruisers. Hell, it doesn't matter to me one bit. To each his/her own. I'm just happy I'm at the point in my life that I'm able to own one of the best vehicles in the world. Take care.

There might be a few with that opinion, until they see one in action. :bounce:

Meh. Who cares about all that. Regardless, you’d be unlikely to encounter that on this forum.

You’ve got a beautiful truck. Enjoy it.

Welcome to MUD and congratulations on your new ride. I, too, love that color.

Like you’ve stated, NVM those that may hate-on newer, or bigger, or more comfortable _and_ capable, yada, yada, yada.

Enjoy your new ride!
 
Welcome! Great color, you don't see it much.
