New guy here

Hey fellas, I didn't see an nitro section so I figured I would post in the section I'm interested in. I'm currently in the market for a land cruiser or lx470 2004+. I like all the goodies in the Lexus but I kinda prefer the land cruiser front end, but would like the projectors. I guess it will come down to the right deal at the right time. Anyways here's a pic of my wife's 4runner and my old truck. Ill be searching and reading here for a while trying to find the differences in the years, etc. thanks guys

Main difference in the 03+, 5 speed. You want the 5 speed

I would go for an 03 too but I would like the blue tooth. If I could find the right deal an 06 would be nice for the power increase. I've been going through the stickies reading and I love all the info on this site!

best of luck to you in your search. You can retrofit the Projectors into the LC headlights if that is one of your hangups with the headlights on the LC. There is a thread on it in here. Can't remember the thread name off the top of my head. Search should pull it up fairly easily though

Your picture loaded and I saw the huge bumper on the truck, immediate thought was I bet he's in Texas. Quick zoom on the iPad and the license plate confirms...

I'd say I wasn't born in TX, but I got there as quick as I could.

Lol nice, yea I am from Oklahoma but moved to TX back in 01, and I'm stationed south of Houston now. The bumpers are a huge help when deer run out when were heading out to our folks house.

I saw some projector lights on a few folks land cruisers here on the forum so I know either a there's aftermarket set or they are custom made. The Lexus already has a nice sound system, wood steering wheel looks nice and doesn't seem to wear the small amount of leather so it looks good for while.

I'm also still interested in the sequoia even though they don't hold their value as well but feel lighter on their feet and seem to get about the same mpg...but we all know how legendary the land cruiser is and it's offload capability.

PM 2000UZJ for the projectors.

yukon is right.... but just becareful he is a little

The eBay lights are garbage. Your best bet is a lens swap or a full bi-xenon retrofit. Sequoia= only family. Landcruiser = Family in greatest 4X4 ever created, topped off with some of the best fabricators/companies on the market working on bumpers/sliders (MetalTech, Slee, BIOR, TJM and ARB). Sequoia is a great ride, but it will leave a empty burning hole in your heart that's saying you should of bought a Landcruiser

 

[Macoyle]

Lol nice. Well it also comes a down to dollars, I'm in the military and we are wanting to start a family here soon so a single income will limit a lot of things and we travel to the Dfw area a lot and I'm sure it will be even more frequent once we have some monkeys.

Te big issue for me is ride quality, I have. Messed up back which is why I don't have my f250 anymore so I as initially looking at a gx470 but the wife didn't like how high the sets were and the "ball sacks" around the shifters lol, so she said one was ok but not two...women

My sister has a Sequoia, and it always feels like I'm in a late '90 Taurus because of the dash. It's a great truck, but there is a noticeable difference in quality between a 100 and a Sequoia.
