What up wheelers. I'm new to mud but no stranger to southern Nv off road. Have a 2008 Fj loaded and buying a land cruiser in the next few weeks. Looking for advice. Want a daily driver and something to tinker on in the garage. Thinking simple (I6 4 speed no ECM I like a distributer with points in it)
Get an FJ60. Still cheap, comes stock with p/s, front discs and a/c. Smog from hell though. Lots of aftermarket still available. Proably the last of the REAL Landcruisers.
hey
looking to run some trails with some toyotas!

Western States Trip
Hey all,
Just got back from a Western States trip with my buddy. The focus of the trip was Moab, but they had so much snow and ice you couldn't run any trails. We spent the night looking for offroad areas and found your chapter associated with Logandale. They have some serious obstacles. We were there for just a day, or would have tried to get some other yotas out there, but nice to know there is fun stuff in Nevada. I am from Oregon, we have some, but almost 70 degrees in the dead of winter riding trails is hard to beat, that's almost better than our summers. It was fun to wheel in your neck of the woods.

Cool pic
Is this club still active?
I'm looking for other cruiser heads, and trying to get the low down on good shops in the greater las vegas area.
If anyone knows of any let me know!
Cheers,
Ryan

Yes the group is still active and does runs. What's your email I'll pass it on. My cruiser is down so I am not 100% active. And I am leavening the valley in a few months.
Hi, Dave!
John White here. Mike Gibson and I live near Durango, Colorado now.
How you been?
Hi - also an 84 FJ60 owner in LV - I tried messaging the SNLC facebook page a few times now with no response. The website is no longer alive either. What's a landcruiser owner in Vegas to do? Do I need to start my own club or something? Seems like there's a bunch of us here in town that could use some landcruiser friends.
Anyone?
Anyone?
That'd be great! Thanks @Mace

Good to see the club's still active - we've been gone for almost 30 years now, but we've still got the "Cadillac" ('84 FJ60). It's got company - a '71 FJ40, a '76 FJ40, and an '89 FJ62 (3FE, axles, etc. soon to be moved over to the '86 FJ60).
The first club meeting we went to was at Shakey's Pizza on Boulder Highway, a very long time ago now. Enjoyed many club runs and trips, including some multi-day trips: Pigeon Canyon, Black Rock Mountain, White's Cabin, Burro Wash, and Death Valley (the best time we had on the trip was the drive from Baker to Death Valley, through what we discovered was the Fort Irwin Military Reservation, during live fire exercises - first time I'd seen a line-up of M1 Abrams tanks up close and personal - and the A-6E Intruder that flew in low to check things out after we missed the turnoff north towards Avawatz Pass). And of course the annual Glitter Gulch Gambols.
