Got my official sticker today! Now to decide if I actually put it on Blue or my tool box that will certainly out live my crusty girl.

We ran north to south, it was the first sort of steep areas with rocks. He was worried about the scrape marks on the rock, but looked to me like approach/descent angle scrapes...

I took the safest of the three lines first (far left heading south), turned around, came up the steepest part with all the scrape marks (the one my wife didn't get on camera, the center line), then turned around at the top to take the far right line as well. Looking at the GPS location on the video, this may have even been past where he backed out. It was fun either way.

Just noticed my wife's comments on the video... She was not thrilled with the trail 😂. I think any future offroading like this will probably just be me and my boys.
What's the trail called? and how did you figure out the route? Do you need to go into the entrance of the park to start the trail? or is it on the outskirts of the park?
 
Finally I received the product. Could you please help guiding me which wire to tap. I have 3 wires, red white and black.
The wiring install is pretty straightforward, tap each of the three wires of the new brake light to the existing oem wire harness.
 
Have had my 98 LC for a little over a month and have had to do a few things to it. First got rid of the 20" wheels and tires as the tires were on their last legs and I didn't like the look of 20s on this rig. Put some Gray Method 309 17x8 0 offset wheels with 265/70 17 KO3s and I really like the look of this set up on the Green LC. Had to chase down a vibration when driving ended up being the rear U-joint at the rear transfer case. Made the rig drive like new. Then the Radiator decided to make itself known by leaking a lot of its contents in my driveway, so I replaced that with an OEM unit that just happened to be at a dealership near me so I was able to do it the same day. Also, had a significant metallic rattle when I went over bumps and could not figure out where it was. Everything underneath the rig seemed tight and not causing the type of noise I was hearing. I then tapped the passenger rear brake dust cover and heard the rattle. The dust cover was tight so I didn't think it was that. I took the rear wheel off and at the bottom of the dust cover between the dust cover and the brake rotor was an old brake pad. Was able to remove the old pad and just like that all the major rattles and clanging disappeared. I was thinking that I had made a mistake buying this rig, but now I think it is fantastic. Can't wait to do some more "fun" type upgrades and such.

New OEM steering rack done last month and the timing belt/water pump (all OEM) project was competed last weekend.

Finally had new wheels and tires put on today. Went with the 18” Land Cruiser spec OEM wheel with a new set of Michelin LTX Trails (265/70/18) that I picked up for free. Need center caps, but they can wait. Drives nice with them.

Previously I had a set of Michelin LTX M/S2 (265/65/18) which lasted +67k and 8 years
