That 80-series was king

Idk man.

@hickuptruck

After watching this vid how the 100 series just effortlessly climbs an incline while the GX has to power up in multiple tries.. maybe heavier keeps the weight down, maybe the wider stance and wider tires give it better traction, what do you think?

watch 2:30 to 3:30.

Wow damn that 100 went up that part like it was nothing, the GX and 4runner can't grip

A lot of it is driver skill. A lot of times you see the same exact vehicle driven by two people with different outcomes. Some luck too.

Rides for the entire fam. We bought our first LC in 1996 then, after earnest prayer and when the deal was right, we would get another one. Then just kept passing them down to four kids as they became of age. Still have six of the 11 we've owned. Can't afford to buy any other brand of vehicle.

Damn fortunate children @BullElk I got the pink eye from neighbors when I put my son in a 3rd Gen 4RNR

Then they really got sassy putting my daughter in a '07 FJC...

My wife now thinks the LX might be the ticket...

My neighbors are getting use to TOYoDA in the drive...and they want to see more of the LX for some reason...???

Open the rear tailgate

I like the GX very much..but that rear tail gate design is just garbage....wtf where they thinking?

@Eighteen11R Nice drive and property you got going on there. I like the rock drive much better than others.

My kids haven't really known anything else other than booster seats in Land Cruisers their entire life, which is not all good. They can't have the full appreciation for them without knowing about so many other inferior vehicles. It was funny when my oldest began his first year in college. He didn't think twice about driving his 80 series LX with 295s and slight lift.....until he got so many compliments and discussion from other "sheltered" kids. Then he began bringing up the LC subject lot more often. And that was after his high school friends consistently commented on how cool his Dad's trucks were. Still fun to think about.

Not that it matters but don't get me wrong....the larger tires or lift or slight mods on my vehicles were not and are never done for the kids. They were for me when I used them to worki in the woods. Just sayin.
