Now we are an All Cruiser Family!

[JToobe]

So for the past 4 Decembers we have purchased a Land Cruiser! What a great tradition that I would love to continue.......Selling the trusted and economical Avalon to my son in law to help him get started as a Real Estate Agent and picked this up from a MUD member in Fayetteville, GA last night. Three owner (all in GA) '07 LX470, 209k miles but impeccably maintained and cared for! Sherry should be driving it most days except for when I have a business road trip. Weather tech mats ordered and researching some Bluetooth capability options to play tunes off the phone thru the system. Maybe upgrading headlights but beyond that she's pretty perfect!

Very nice.

Jeff,
Lookin pretty!!
I bought the bluetooth SL3b-t link up device from VAIS technology in Colorado and it works great! Glad to show you the details. Best part is not having to hit the “agree” button on the nav everytime you start the car.

Congrats, nice truck!

I think this is the thread you need to read for Bluetooth options:
VAIS vs Grom vs USASpec vs...

I have the USA Spec model BT45-TOY in our 2002 (no factory Bluetooth) and it works great.

From the pics in the sale thread that thing is immaculate.
Very nice.

Got the weather tech mats in & the interior & backup LED's from PFRAN. Decided on the BL45-TOY Bluetooth from USASpec off Amazon and big thanks to @dmark84 for taking the time to come over and help me install it as he had recently put one in his wife's LX! Installation went smooth and love the results. Had a brief scare when I went to move the car and it wouldn't engage in any gear, Forward or Reverse. Thought i had screwed up the Transmission by starting it without the controls connected to the POWER/2ND Buttons. Took about 30 minutes to realize that we had put the 4WD shifter in Neutral to have more room for panel removal!

Also got these panel removal tools from Amazon that were not as hearty as I hoped. Got a chuckle from the message on the side of the box, would love to know how this translation came to be! Fortunately we didn't experience any damnification to the LX!

After the successful install and passing scare of causing damage to the transmission, Sherry and I drove the LX up to Caesar's Head and then hiked the Raven Cliff Falls trail yesterday afternoon!

Love that trail, did you hike the whole loop?

that is an all time best for bad translations. Somebody over there needs to take some Engrish crasses!

Nope, just to the overlook & back. Got a late start as we were just winging the afternoon & didn't make plans. Had intentions of driving part of the Blue Ridge Pkwy with some hiking but this was a good diversion!

Since we didn't hike all the way to the waterfall, I feel like we didn't have a trip worthy of that thread! Wish I had taken more pics but it was a great date afternoon talking about all sorts of stuff!
