Yes, I lived in NM for many years. This is a return back to the SW for me that I have been jonesing for a long time.
Its a hop skip and a jump from VT but be forewarned....I will be visiting.....
Nice. Close to a Cruiser town.

Hosgeldin! Patagonia is beautiful and the border country offers some of the finest Land Cruising around. Great to have you part of the crew.
Hey guys, I've been in the valley for about 6 years now and have been driving Subarus mostly, but just picked up my first Land Cruiser, an 03 100 series. Here's a pic from it's maiden voyage up the PCH last week. Can't wait to find a way to be more active in the community!
just c'mon out to a meeting to see what we're all about.
Congrats. Tell us about her and your plans!
Try to address any major maintenance issues. Just knocked out the first oil change and got a new/used spare tire mounted to a matching wheel as the included spare was toast and mounted to an original 1992 wheel. Rebuild/replace power steering pump, rebuild both front knuckles. Valve adjust and valve cover gasket replacement. Finish the de-smogging job. Acquire four more original wheels before I wear out this set of tires. Redo suspension bushings as well as a stock height lift? Maybe redo the window tinting, it is Arizona after all. Drive it and enjoy it! Any other suggestions?
That’s a good list. Way to pay attention to bushings. I’d do all the fluids, plugs, wires, distributor, but only if they need it. There’s a 3FE baseline sheet somewhere on this forum that @jonheld published; it’s excellent. I’ll find it soon.
The 91-92 / 3FE is shockingly impervious to neglect, but it’s also a 30 year old truck. Things made of rubber wear out—belts, hoses, gaskets—if they haven’t seen any maintenance.
OME stock height lift on 33s suits these trucks while avoiding caster and driveline problems; the 3FE can handle the extra tire diameter except on the steepest highway grades. Pay attention to anticipated loads when choosing springs rates.
Mostly I’d suggest getting out and enjoying and learning to read her—sounds, smells, clunks, rattles, vibrations, etc. Those baseline sensory data are key to detecting future anomalies/problems before they become actual problems.
Congrats again.
Hi everyone! Brand new to the site and very much enjoying my new GX470. This is my first 4x4 so I have much to learn, always been a small fun car kind of guy. Anyways here's a quick pic of the rig
