Hello from Portland, OR. Thank you for having me. Been a dream to own the coolest SUV ever built. Thank you to Tim at Land Cruiser Specialties for working on this guy for me. Just had my first road and camping trip with her. 1000 miles. Here’s a shot in the redwoods. Daily a beat up 96 3rd gen 4Runner.

Funny comparing them in certain ways.
Heat not working. Windows slow as hell. Whiny steering wheel. Antenna not working. CDs don’t work. Tapes do. Clock also works.

I am in the market for OEM Lexus beige floor mats.

Super happy for you. Love it - yours way shinier than mine- and lots of same sort of things. I am only 6 months in and had/have many same problems. Welcome to the fun and money pit!!😀I love it. 6 months in I should have bought a way better specimen - but I could have never passed a $20k initial buy to start with and at this point don’t care as I can bleed some here and there. Not financially the best decision, but when I bought a 2025 LC and this one same year- just glad I am in the game. I often say, I wish I hadn’t have bought the 250 and bought a killer 80 series for $40k. I love having the new one to drive to church and on daily trips- and have a rougher as you say “coolest SUV ever “ as my 1/2 daily driver/hunting beater do whatever I want truck. If I had to have one - I would get the best 80 I could find and know it was a money pit…😀you will love it and excited for you !

Wow that’s awesome you’re rocking the 250 and 80 series. Best of both worlds!
