Hello from NOLA

[ajc]

Hi All,

I'm AJ. I live in New Orleans with my wife and dog. I've wanted a Land Cruiser for years. After saw the pre-release video of the Heritage Blue with Grayscape I'd drift back to looking at it a couple times a week and realized I had to have it. It took a few months to actually locate an available one so when I found it we drove straight to the dealer and traded in my 21 RAV4. We take our dog on little adventures and the RAV has always handled the trails well enough but I'm really excited to find some slightly more challenging places to visit and see what the LC can do. I'm a complete newbie to off-roading so I'm sure I'll be looking for advice from more experienced folks. I plan to get aftermarket rock sliders, skid plates and roof rack and go from there. Glad to be part of the community here!

Cheers,
AJ

Welcome AJ! I envy your learning experience. As a (very!) senior citizen I have done it all off-roading, and enjoyed every moment. Well, no Moab type stuff, but exploring the old mines and ghost towns of rural Nevada. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!

Do you ever go to the Do Drop Jazz & Social Club? Missing those oaks and moss here in Colorado.

That's awesome and yes! When do y'all find yourselves in Mandeville versus elsewhere?

My wife’s family is from New Orleans and wanted to be near them. It’s been a blessing to be here.

What did you upgrade tires to? Looks larger than 265, cant tell from photo. Good luck. Still shopping - hard to find a LC model in NJ without 20" rims.
