๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to the new Land Cruiser Forum - Please post an introduction thread!

My daily driver is a 1972 FJ55 wagon which is great around town. I also have a 1969 FJ55 wagon (profile pic) that is more of a collector than a driver. When it came time to get a new car of course we had to get another Land Cruiser! With the addition of the 2026 Land Cruiser we are hopefully done buying cars for a long while.

New to the Land Cruiser, let alone Toyota. Though growing up in the '80s, there were two cars that I would always be enamored by - station wagons and more specifically, Land Cruisers. All these years later and my wife and I recently went on a trekking expedition in Guatemala, up Mt Acatenango, via a Land Cruiser LX. Rolling along the highway we were commenting on the smooth ride. A 90-min climb up the battered volcano and we were sold.

Being new to this world, we were a bit sad when we got home only to learn the LX wasn't released in the US and the more we dug around to find one (and explore a 70-,80-, and 100-series), and the cost of a prime sample of any of those, the more we felt it best to get the latest LC250. It'll be a daily driver, after all. Really grateful for this forum as a resource, as it's revealed a lot of great learnings. Hope to contribute in some way, here in the future.

After too many years of leasing, we are excited to have ordered our '27. Oh, and going back to those years admiring cars as a kid, got a wagon about 10 years ago. Road trips are going to be twice as fun.

Hello all! Had my 1st Toyota pick-up in '84. Ran forever. Strayed to Jeep and Chevy for a bit then bought a 2003 V8 4Runner. Now my daughter loves it and wants to drive it. So...I get a new LC250. 2027 Inked/black interior. Thanks to B in CO on this forum for help with tire sizes. The 275/65/20s fit perfectly. Got plans to install a 1in spacer next to fix the rake. Looking forward to more discussion with you all...

Nice! Odd request, would you be able to post a good shot of the paint up close? Does it look like a Metallic? Thanks!

Thanks. Yes. Metallic when hit by direct light. At night it looks solid black. Its easier to see with camera movement. Otherwise, it just looks like dust in a still photo. Let me see if I can post a short video.
 
Hello from Colorado. I'm a first time LC owner. Been a dream of mine since I was a kid. Running a 2024 LC First Edition. Couldn't be happier. Excited to learn more about this incredible vehicle, capabilities, and ways to make it better. After I bought it, I immediately dropped a AFE Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System in. Noticeable addition to power. Sounds good too.

Hello from WV. Picked up my LCFE in the winter of 2024 and haven't looked back since. Well unless my speed exceeds 7mph. :-)

Added some 265/70/18 Cooper Road and Trail ATs, which I love, removed the air dams, and added a few accessories. It gets me every where I point it in great comfort. Well unless my speed exceeds 19mph. :-)

I appreciate the knowledge that passes through this board and hope I can contribute.

Here are a few pictures of 'Yoshi'.
