Hi everyone. Long time LC fan, new owner.
My search extended for the better part of year and a half, bouncing between the 80 and 100 series, leaning towards the 100 because of the kids. I'm really fond of the 60 series, but I wanted a little creature comfort for our road trips.
Anyhow...I couldn't find anything I liked for the amount of money I was willing to spend (cursing the popularity and the internet). Then I came across a 200 series (2014) for sale last month. I decided to go for a little drive and check it out. Took it for a 20 minute drive and immediately loved it! Comfort, luxury, and capability! Wow!
Knowing I wanted it right then and there, combined with how long I've been looking... I had to force myself to sit on it, just to give myself some extra time and to look around a bit more. That lasted a whole 3 days. Since I was out of town, I ended up buying it over the phone and picked it up Jul 10th.
I headed straight to the dealership to pickup a new air filter, cabin air filter, and the heritage series rear trunk mat for my 3rd row seat delete. Dealer was nice enough to match online prices. Got home, stared at it for a bit and then hopped on Amazon and started shopping. Ordered some Husky mats for the first and second row seats, new jack stands, storage for the cooler area. Then started shopping for rims and tires, installed the following week. Ordered suspension the week after, and some extruded aluminum from T-Nutz.com. I've been on pause of late, but have been enjoying every minute with the new truck.
Next in line is some sliders, and possibly a rear swing-out.
Loving ih8mud! Gotta say it was great finding the forums here, but also tormenting while I was searching for an LC.
