👋 Welcome to the new Land Cruiser Forum - Please post an introduction thread!

Hello All! Picked up my first Land Cruiser last week. 2025 Meteor Shower with Premium Package. I love Toyotas. I have owned 4 Tacomas, and currently have a 2024 Tundra Platinum. Had been waiting for the 4 Runner next gen, but after comparing the LC to them, couldn't pass up this awesome ride. So far I have deleted the OEM roof rack, installed the alternate rear bumper diaper and added hood lift cylinders. Been contemplating which lift/wheels/tires to go with. I want a more aggressive stance and a little more clearance. I hope to gain some ideas from you all on which will be best for my needs. Looking forward to new adventures!

Hi I recently purchased a 2025 LC300 GR-S HEV, also known as the LC300 HEV MAX in Saudi Arabia. It is fun and comfortable, plus since the weather is finally cooling down in Riyadh, I look forward to taking it into the desert in the coming weeks. Unfortunately fuel consumption is horrendous and the tiny 68L tank makes things worse, not ideal for long distance desert trips...

Hey all, excited to be joining the forum! I put a deposit down today on a '26 LC Wind Chill Pearl. Dealer is expecting delivery in 4 weeks, no later than mid december. This is my first LC purchase, but have been in love with them for years, just not ever in a position until recently to afford one.

While this will likely never be a true overland vehicle for me, it'll also be far from a mall crawler. I run a business that takes me to remote sites, often needing good traction (snow, mud primarily), and the need to store utility equipment such as tools and other equipment. I've been using trucks up until now but realized I'm also not really using the capabilities of the full-size truck and decided to try out the LC instead. I'm a bit nervous about its smaller size compared to the truck, but excited about a much more comfortable and stylish ride. Who doesn't love the LC look (even if it's not the '70s series)?

I've been "cruising" the forum for months in anticipation of getting (and outfitting) a Land Cruiser. I am selling my Storyteller Overland van (4x4 Mercedes sprinter) and will start the LC buying process after Thanksgiving. Offroading is an important part of my job (I lead wildlife photography tours) and I need something truly capable to get to many locations across North America.. Before the van I owned a 2019 Land Rover Defender. It was plenty capable, but a nightmare when it came to reliability.

This forum has been a huge help in planning for my LC purchase and making the mods that I want.

Hi. I live in Queensland, Australia. 2025 LC 300, about 3 months old replacing my much-used 2013 Toyota Hilux SR5.
Looking forward to the adventures.

Howdy folks. Been a LC owner over several gens. Pivoted to my 2019 T4R that’s been what I thought LCs should be. (60, 62) It’s built hard and is delivering me many amazing adventures and experiences.

New LC is planned for more of an OEM+ build. I’m only 1500 mile into my ownership and I am very satisfied. Have not found dirt with her yet- but it’s on the agenda.

I’m in Dallas, TX if anyone want to adventure or share experiences.
