Found this cool old mower at a rental property we are taking over. Thought the color scheme looked familiar...

No fair, that is a 105!
 
The rarity of snow in the Las Vegas valley is such a treat and we just couldn’t pass at the idea of exploring in our own backyard. Went up Red Rock Nat’l park and crawled up to Rainbow Mountain Wilderness trail. Exhibit #1 on just how happy my 12yo was.

No mas, at 7,000 feet I had to dangerously back up on a single track road (left side was a cliff that plummets a few hundred feet down) and turn around because of the serious risks for our safety. Incline grade % was just too steep for a non-chained, all-terrain tire, CDL’d and aired down to 19psi vehicle. I underestimated the trail. Although I had to admit I was motivated to follow the Jeep on 37s before me:bang: I LEARNED TODAY. Exhibit #2 physics was not on my side.

View of Red Rock National Park on our way down after that ordeal. I can breathe now.

Sometimes discretion is the better of valor... This hole looks like broken ice, but was totally frozen over. Wheeling alone and without a winch I figured it wasn't wise to press my luck.

Always avoid risk on the path. Is that last pic melted ice? In that case, even better to avoid.

On my journey to the headlands, I had so many hard corrugations of solid rock, I thought atleast something would fall off the car. 100 series continues to surprise me in this regards.

It looks melted but was frozen solid. I assume someone had been through in the last week and broke it up, but it had refroze solid over the past few cold nights with lows in the teens. (-8 Celsius or so) I figure the outcome would be break the ice again and maybe get bogged or potentially even worse turn my Cruiser into a 6,000 pound sled if it didn't break though. Neither seemed like a favorable outcome! ;)
 
New to me '00 Hundy in Riverock Green-- picked up today!
200k on her, but I hope to take her another 150k or so at least!

Now to ponder tasteful mods while weighing how much my wife will let me get away with...

Welcome to the addiction. I read here somewhere, “buy once cry once” lol. Good looking LX :cheers:
 
They're 18x9 Method Grids wrapped in 275/70/18 KO2s
@FxFormat did you look at any other tire sizes?

When I downshift/retire to spend more time at my 2nd home in the cascades, I'm going to upgrade my 07 Land Cruiser 100-series with 16" wheels and 315/75/16's. That's years away, and I have to upgrade from the Continental 275/60/18's that came with it (looks like prior owner was a suburban mom).

But for now with adding the OME lift & White Knuckle sliders, I was planning on 275/70's but my shop is recommending 285/70's. I just don't know if the extra half-inch is worth the incrementally worse gas mileage, another mph deviation on the speedometer, etc.

I’ve ran all sorts of sizes over the years, stick to 275/70/18 for less headache. I don’t rub, used fo rub 305/65/18 and that was rub city, heavy as hell, and the extra rolling resistance made for awful gas mileage. They do look good though, so beefy
 


I always see pictures of Western Australia and am stumped; isn't that prime real estate?? Why aren't there any homes there haha? Is it a national protected area?

I'm from California, so i'm not used to seeing empty stretches of ocean front land, that's so crazy. WA is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit.

These are cliffs that run alongside the continental shelf of WA, this is the closest the land gets (headland) to the deep blue. The water in the pic is probably about 50m deep in front. This is near ningaloo-exmouth. This part is just private farming land thats been turned into a tourist/local holiday destination 'Quobba station'. The mine to your left in the video is a salt mine, all private and you can't go near it. In front is Garth's Rock - made famous by Max Garth in Fishing World magazine 'Mackerel on the fly'. You can literally catch any pelagic you want off that rock: Cobia, King Mackerel, Tuna, Longtail, Sailfish, Marlin. I had a go but wrong period of day and the southerly wind was shocking - just about blow you off the rocks. Still, had little mackies chasing my lure and seen some massive shadows go past. Heaps of fun hey, wish I could have stayed fishing all day (if it weren't for the missus). It's pretty trecherous country, misses and kids scared the entire time of the cliff drop. Yeah, Australia is pretty unpopulated still plenty of vast space to roam.
If you were thinking of travel here, go to Exmouth - Ningaloo that's the centre of the action. oh, lol and Ningaloo / Exmouth area is definitely protected area. There are a few around this area that have been officially protected - Ningaloo reef, Coral Bay, Shark Bay - for various reasons.
