Pulled the trigger...

[Union]

After weeks of searching and months of lurking and learning about the greatest vehicle on the planet, I finally bought one. I toyed with the idea of getting an older 100 series but realized I'd be looking for another vehicle in a few years due to the high mileage. Then I thought, well I can get a 2013-2014 year but after test driving one, it was a little dated inside and coming from a 2016 Tacoma, I learned to appreciate some of the creature comforts that it provided. So I opted for a 2017 with 5,800 miles. Found it down in Phoenix at a dealership. Drove her back up to Vegas the same day and she handled wonderfully. I had reservations about the new 8 speed transmission regarding shift points and gearing but honestly, its buttery smooth and extremely better than my 6 speed Tacoma. I took it into the dirt the next day for a little photoshoot. 50mph on a dirt washboard road, soaked up everything, the suspension is amazing. Updates for this rig are coming. Looking at Tires/Wheels, Roof rack, bumpers, light bars, radio, etc. (long term).

I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all and continuing to learn a lot from you guys.

I’m still not sure what’s prettier, the cruiser or the malamute.

The dogs hair will blend right in with the black leather!

lol, yea I was going to get terra leather to help but realized both have black carpet and that's what attracts all the white fur anyways.

Ah, someone who didn't say it was a husky

Looks just like to one I picked up last month with 6500 miles. I love it

Congratz! Did the LC come with the canine friend as part of the sale?

The Cruiser or the dog?

No but you could say I may have opted for something with rear air because of her.

Cruiser for sure

Nice!

5800 miles though? You didn't buy a former Avis rental did you? It seems like the entire rental Land Cruiser fleet that is up for sale now shows up as registered in Utah, Colorado, Nevada or Florida. That avis fleet that is up for sale now was certainly abused well haha.

Nope, I bought this in Arizona. There was 1 previous owner who traded in his 2500 pickup for the LC to only to trade the LC right back in for his truck, took a massive hit. Win for me!
