Hey all - rookie LC250 owner here. Just picked up my 2024 in NJ Friday and been loving it so far. I'm coming from a BMW 328i, and strangely, this is my first SUV ever. My wife's had a few SUVs and I once owned a 2x4 Ranger, but nothing off road oriented. We all ski and my son and I do a lot of fishing, hiking, biking, and kayaking, and I was sick of packing the bimmer to the brim every time we went out (as much as I enjoyed driving that car). I've loved LCs since I was a little kid reading adventure books, and riding in them (and Hilux's and LRs) in the bush in Africa and elsewhere early in my career.
My first project was to install my old Yakima cross bars onto the roof rails. Next up I plan to make a few upgrades to the JBL speakers and hope to swap the 20" wheels for 18s at some point.
Anyhow, I look forward to getting this thing onto some fire roads here in Maryland, and to meeting new folks in this forum.
Cheers!

Hello, everyone -
I live near Boulder, CO, and purchased a new LC two weeks ago. I love it and am excited about joining the forum.
My family and I are long-time Toyota owners (4Runner, Highlander, Prius, RAV4, Sienna). I also grew up in a 1972 Toyota Corona (not Corolla) and learned long ago that Toyotas don't die.
Thanks for letting me be part of this forum!

Hello all,
I’ve been looking through the forum for some buying advice on a 1995 FZJ80 with around 108k miles.
For the last 13 years, it was used as a roadside assistance vehicle and later as a tow vehicle by a garage. I went to inspect it, and mechanically it is sound. It also comes with a full service history. AC was even charged.
My main concerns are the front suspension and ball joints, which will need work. There is also rust at the rear, outside trimmings need replacing and the rear right fender was provisionally screwed in with a wood screw... but otherwise the vehicle is complete and the underbody has been coated. Original front fender is in the back as well. Original paint is listed as dark gray, the yellow is not in the door seams... Starting to peel off in some places as well.
What do you guys think? Anything else I should be looking out for? Look forward to some feedback.

Congrats - What a unique find!
This is a cool one, but admittedly I’d say that about any 80-series presented to me.
Tagging a couple members here who may have some thoughts to share based on their recent-ish acquisitions. @Bad1975 @TimHerald
