New member from Oregon – 100 Series Land Cruiser

[rootsandroads4x4]

Hey everyone, new to IH8MUD. Recently moved out to Oregon and have been really enjoying my 100 series out here. Been using it for camping trips and regular drives up to Mt. Hood, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite vehicles I’ve owned.


Looking forward to learning more from the community and seeing everyone’s builds.

Wheels are Fifteen52 Analog HD_Asphalt Black Tires are Falken Wildpeak A/T 285/70R17 116T

nice rig
just a safety thing, use a jack stand or stack of blocks other than relying on a floor jack

Welcome!
You're finding out what most all of us here have recognized...namely that this enthusiast group is incredibly rewarding.

Welcome
Way to go on confusing the locals with your front plate!

The wheels offset the white rig nicely

Thank you! And I appreciate it, I did actually have some jack stands too, I just use the floor jack as a back up when I have the chance.

Oregon has some sick places to explore, so many different landscapes to see.....Also lots of ranch land that is blocked off, can spend hours crusing down a potential trail only to be gated off on what should be BLM so study the maps close if you are checking out the east side of the state

Get the Alvord Desert on your to-do list

I watch a lot of SoftroadingTheWest's content and he's constantly running into gates like that.

Yeah it's tough sometimes. Most folks follow the rules and allow access where they should be IDK I had a weird experience with one of the Oregon BLM field offices when trying to gather information and they seem to operate a bit differently than am I used to out here in Montana and Idaho. I like when the gates out here just say, " close it behind you " lol

I think too many people were raised without learning about gate etiquette (not necessarily their fault). So everyone has to suffer now.
Leave it like you found it. Open or closed.
