Thanks. I figure that since 90% of the time I'm just driving to and from work, it seems kind of pointless to have a big heavy load up there just baking in the sun all day.

She's a beaut! What sort of mileage are you getting with that Isuzu mill in your 60? I've heard they're pretty smooth for a 4 banger.
getting 26MPG with 37s, 5 speed with 4.88s the BFG all terrain make the ride smooth
Wow, that's outstanding. Congrats on your ride!

Any idea what rear bumper is back there? That thing looks awesome. Who did the swap/mods?

Our last trip at the end of 2013. Four days in the the Mojave Preserve.

Curious, the green 60, what colour is that? Thought it was my rig for a second!
CruiserPilot the color is from Land Rover; its called: 2001 Kent Green Metallic
The only way to reliably get a Land Rover in and out of the bush is to paint a Land Cruiser with Land Rover colors!
1994 LC build in progress
Found out I was going to be a daddy for the THIRD time, so I got rid of the M3 and began building our new "family" expedition rig.
3" lift with castor correction, 35" BFG ATs, TJM XGS Gold edition suspension fore and aft, custom built drive shafts fore and aft, TJM bull bar up front and a dual swing-out by Maxis on the back. More work to do before we pile up and move across the continent this summer!

Nice and congrats on #3. Whats next on the xpedition mods build list?
Congrats! You standing on the step rail really puts the ride height into perspective.

Thanks!
Thanks folks! I've got two phases of work coming up and am dropping it off at M.I.T. (fantastic shop in Santee, CA) here on Wednesday while I sail the seven seas for a month. (Not all seven..just the Pacific).
Phase I
1) Installing new one piece HID headlights with black backing
2) Installing Hella Black Magic 1000 lights on the bullbar in the center
3) Installing one circular LED light a bit higher on the bullbar and off-centered (where the Aussies mount their HF antenna)
4) Having the rear bumper re-enforced - it is a bit wobbly
5) "Blacking out" the front grill and headlight-surrounding chrome with vinyl spray.
6) Installing a 10k lb winch in the bullbar (got to figure out where to move the license plate
5) New Power-steering pump and a new timing belt.
Phase II
1) Installing a Baja Rack (one with a basket in the front and then flat in the back for a tent.
2) CVT tent for the roof
That will pretty much do it. I forgot to mention the interior earlier but I had it gutted and finished with spray-in bed liner for the decking and had the seats all recovered in two tone marine vinyl - black bolsters with sand colored insets. Looks great!
Any other ideas for the trek across?
