I've been looking at Land Cruisers for years and never could quite make it happen. I think it might be about time now.
My last vehicle (stolen sadly) was a 91 Jeep Cherokee that was moderately built. 31s, 3 inch lift, decent shocks/control arms, sway bar disconnects, bumpers/winch etc. I never got into rock crawling but like playing out in the desert/mountain roads a bit. It was really basic and had no safety and very little comfort features so I'm thinking the 100 series might be the way to go. It's been an internal struggle with the 80 but I think for now the 100 is in the lead.
I'm curious about your thoughts on capability and clearance compared to my old Cherokee. I know the 100 is a much, much better rig but I really don't want to go crazy on the mods this time around. I hope to just put some 285 BFGs and call it a day. Curious if I can get by clearance wise on the same stuff since I will have bigger tires but of course losing the solid front axle.
