Went on vacation to Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. There were no Cruisers in Singapore... But Oz and NZ did not disappoint! In Sydney, I kept spotting nicely built Prado’s and mistaking them for 200’s... There were also quite a few beautifully built 200’s, 100’s, FJC’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Saw those models, a 45, and a few 60’s in Dunedin, no 40’s at all. No 55’s. OH, 4Runners and HiLuxes were everywhere.

Awesome! Have a good time and bring a scanner if you have one. Pit-driver communication can add to the entertainment.

Oh wow! All of the times I went down to the Daytona 500/Pepsi 400 and I never thought to do this. I feel like I've wasted a huge opportunity here.

This is way different than NASCAR. 4 different classes of cars on a road course at the same time...
It was awesome, already planning for next year.
It's always the last weekend in January.

We're installing a lift on Scott's 200 on Saturday at my house if anyone wants to join the fun.
we are starting early, 7:00 am, so come on out.

Today is my birthday. Registering my new-to-me LX570. It’ll stay bone stock, but I get to keep the 40 and 80. I feel like 40+80+200 is the Toyota Trinity of Awesomeness.

No, you just need a solid tow vehicle for the FJ40!

Happy Birthday, @CharlestonG8R
Looks Awesome

Thanks, David. It is the nicest vehicle that I've ever owned. Possibly a little too nice... It is fast, quiet, and predictable. These aren't traits that I really ascribe to Land Cruisers.

Happy Birthday!! Looks nice! Details!

Happy Birthday!! Looks nice! Details!

Thanks! Not many details... It is a single owner vehicle and spent its whole life in Texas. Great condition inside and out and the only modification is a BlueTooth player for music. I don't My wife doesn't envision any modifications to the 200 due to the 80 being a solid trail vehicle.

What year is it??

 

[CharlestonG8R]

What year is it??

2008. Feels a whole lot newer than the 2006 it replaced... I was apprehensive of the 2008 model, vs. a newer one, until I educated myself on what has actually changed between model years. Mostly interior technology, except, I believe 2016+ comes with an 8 speed AT vs. 6 speed AT's for prior years. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong I really didn't know much about the 200 and had never actually drove or rode in one until this one was in my driveway. Rae and I have been discussing travel trailers for years, so this one will remain stock for comfort.

 

[greenseaman]

That is great! A really nice looking truck!

Howdy! We moved out a year ago from the western slope of CO and have wanted to get involved in the club, but the engine on our HJ75 troopy is bad and I wanted to wait until it was fixed. Well, it has been at performance diesel in MtP for a long time with 0 progress. I found an awesome engine: 2016 1HZ w/turbo with only 37kmiles on it and it has been at their shop for 2 months. So, I’m hunting for a new diesel shop. Any recommendations?
Thanks!
