Clean! Nice job with the paint on the roof rack.
I notice you have a 1 1/4" Kuat hitch rack. How long is your hitch adapter? Does it clear the tailgate with bikes on it? I have the same rack and am in the market for an adapter.
Got into some deep snow today, around 4-5'. Winch came out just after this ☺

With 2 bikes on, Yes- it clears the first bike with just a little space to spare, but you just need to fold down the rack to be safe. Luckily, the Kuat has that great drop feature to clear almost any liftgate. If you have just a single bike on it, put it on the outside (far side). The gate clears the rack no problem with the 9 inch reducer/extension. Be sure to also get a decent hitch lock! With this extension/reducer- this rack fits the LC like a glove.

That's not paint. It's the rack off my 2000 LC.
Yes, Mark, I neglected to give you credit for the rack (on this forum, anyway)- just focused on the Kuat question.
This all started 3 years ago with wanting a cheap 4 wheel drive anything to go fishing with. I may have gotten a little carried away with her. One of the benefits of working at a large car dealership is getting your own cars professionally photographed.
Nothing wrong with that look! Or photo.....

I couldn't resist. She's been clean far too long, and needs to get ready for muddy days ahead
Logged in here for the first time in years today after I saw the group buy discussion on LR fuel tanks. Made me feel like a loser that I contribute nothing to this great board, so here you go. (I got 3 kids under three, so the running boards stay, for now.)

And bunch of car audio stuff you guys might not care about but I will say Apple CarPlay brings it right up to date electronics/navigation wise. I'm so glad that I got stuck in the snow that one time years ago and decided to not have it happen again. I just didn't realize that the car I bought as a snow truck would make me sell my "real car" and start treating this like it's my mistress er something. I love this thing.

Wow...beautiful rig! Excellent job on the projector retrofit as well those are awesome. The projectors and updated grill/headlights really makes it stand out nicely!
Pioneer AVH-4200NEX. It's been replaced by the 4201 now but it's prob pretty much the same. But yeah, from a navigation standpoint, CarPlay is the best system I've used in any car ever. You just tell Siri where you want to go and you're done. It made it impossible to not rip out my wife's entire nav and stereo system out of her Yukon after I had to use it and just cussed the people who designed it. And in the scheme of car navigation systems her wasn't even that bad, but it was prob designed around 2011-12 and is just from a different era than a phone whose software is updated constantly.
No head unit really puts out real power so I paired it with a JL 900/5 that I put under the passenger seat. It's about all that 80 amp alternator can handle and even this little amp's musical peaks dimmed the lights noticibly before I did the HID retrofit. Anything bigger prob would require an aftermarket alternator.
Do you ever get the feeling that everyone wants your Land Cruiser.

Skidoo, well posed!!
Went to Big Bend National Park to ride motorcycles last week. No wheeling, but was available for rescue if needed. Over 1200 miles round trip. This is what I bought this vehicle for and for me, there's nothing better.
Air bags are in my future. That bike is about 300 lbs and the back of the 100 is packed with stuff.
