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

[EOD Guy]

New owner of a 26 LC250 1958. Came from a Tacoma, and years ago a 1st gen Range Rover which saw a lot of trail. I always had a soft spot for FJ60s, but opted for new this time around since I have a family and appreciate the advances in safety since the 80s. Looking forward to getting the 250 dirty!

Welcome to the Jungle!

Hello everyone! I’m located in western NC and recently purchased a 2024 Landcruiser LC trim (no sunroof was surprisingly difficult to find). So far I absolutely love it and have some mods planned. Front bumper, winch, some lighting, awning, and basic other things. Not going to go nuts with this one as I have on my previous 100 series.

I am a long time Land Cruiser enthusiast and hope to meet some other great folks in the area! I’ll be planning some car camping trips with my daughter in the coming months/years so it’d be great to find a good family oriented group to enjoy what this great state has to offer.

Previous “off-road” vehicles include:
1998 LX470
1973 Ford Bronco
2010 GX460
2022 Frontier PRO-4X

Current LC250 pic also attached (black on black on black!)

Somewhat of a similar history. My lime green Bronco that came w/ OEM post hole digger mounted drivers side rear was the Bronco I should have kept. It was no daily driver though. Welcome!

I wish I still had that Bronco but as you said, not the best daily driver haha. I wish I still had the 100 series too! Not enough garage space though.

Hey everyone. Happy to join the forum. Have a 2024 LC250 1958. Meteor Shower. Pretty stock still. Just added a rack and running boards. Will be looking for some alternative wheels soon, but don't want a bunch of poke. Just slightly more aggressive 18" or 20". Live in the midwest right now but from Maine area. Spend some time four wheeling in AZ as well.

Hello Everyone, new to the forum, but have been reading for a little bit of time. Finally committed and found the right Land Cruiser. Technically my wife's daily driver but I've already made a couple changes to it and plan to steal it as much as possible. We traded in her '22 Ford Explorer after 1 too many electrical issues and couldn't be happier. We are in Denver, Colorado and can't wait for summer time to see what new trails and campgrounds we can get to in the Land Cruiser. I drive a 2019 Tacoma TRD OR, which is now resigned to work commutes and the annual hunting trip.

Hi,

New to this group.
Currently have a FJ80 Landcruiser 'father-son' project, with an engineered Ford 'Barra' 4.0L turbo, with a ZF6HP 6 speed auto, all courtesy of a donor 2009 FG Turbo Falcon. On a conservative tune it is good for about 375kW and 550nm at the treads @ 10psi.

Also, as we've just finished with this car, I am contemplating converting my GR-J120 over to an aussie UZ-J120.
I have the 2UZ-FE.... just now to find the time (and funds)

Cheers
Terry
