No just 100 series Land Cruisers and LXs (1998-2007). Everything I have read makes it look incredible.

I don't have any drawers yet. I like the KISS ones, but haven't got there yet. I also like the TrexBoxX. It is really expensive so probably not a reality.

There is a ton I want to do to it, but with three young kids it may be awhile, but enjoying it as we go!

Do you have bluetooth in your '07? Can't remember if that was ever a thing in 100s.

How is yours with 3 kids? We don't have kids yet, but we do have 2 large dogs, and I really want to trade my supercrew f150 for an early-mid 200 in the next year or two. I would do a pretty mild build with ATs, sliders, KISS drawers, and maybe a roof rack.

'09 LX owner here and am stuck in the middle of having Bluetooth for calls, but no USB for audio. Had to rig up a Bluetooth receiver to plug into the auxiliary jack for music given that stupid iPhone doesn't have a headphone jack. It works, but isn't ideal. I believe 2010 is the first model year with USB for audio.

Multiple kids and the set up is fine, but the 2nd row is just narrow enough to where we can't fit 3 car seats across. You maybe could with the right seats. Otherwise someone is climbing in the back.

that's weird. i've got an 07 GX and it's got both bluetooth and a aux jack. wonder why they waited so long for the LX

The 07 has been ok with kids, but yeah you couldn't fit three car seats across the middle, our oldest climbs in the back. We have a minivan too that is the daily hauler, and I drive the LX, and when we take trips we usually take it as well.

There was on 04 LX with only 100k miles for sale here in Amarillo and I tried to convince my wife she could drive that and I would sell the van, but honestly the van is more practical and it won out. If we only had two kids it probably would have been a go. Also in the 07 and earlier there are still only child restraint hooks in the middle and behind the driver. Don't know in the 200 series.

The 2007 LX has factory Bluetooth for phone only. I installed an aftermarket box BT45, that allows Bluetooth music through the sattelite radio input. It was very easy to install.

Anyone here done the AHC sensor 'lift' on an LX? I'm about 6 months out on new tires and wouldn't mind getting a little more aggressive. Currently running Michelin Defender LTXs.

How about some 200 love

This thread might help?

I'm new to the automotive board and this thread but I've always wanted an older FJ. Now that I have kids I have shifted away from the FJ40's to something I can use to haul around two kids and a dog and maybe a small pop-up for camping. I found a 1978 FJ55 that I hope to have in Midland by Mid-July. Thoughts on the 55?

1978 FJ55

I don't have any experience with the 55, but it looks awesome!

That's badass! You found that in Nova Scotia and getting it to Midland?? Blue parachute awarded.

Next tine my wife asks why I can't find a vehicle I like within 10 hours of home; I'm pointing to YOU!

Let's wait until it's actually here before pointing in my direction. Cheapest quote I've found so far is 3200 by rail.

Half the distance; it's not completely original, but all the improvements are in the LC family.

I know this sounds crazy- but here I go:

drive it

Thought about it. It's 41 hours on the road in a vehicle as old as me, no AC in the middle of summer.

That's part of the fun!

A buddy's brother in law is selling this 80 series. I'm holding out for a 100 series so I can go to HiH and I like the more modern look but I was thinking about it recently when I heard he was moving overseas and selling it.

1997 Toyota Landcruiser 40th anniversary edition, 4x4, approximately 142k miles

$11,500

mrerik@gmail.com and I'll FW to him.

Lockers?

Not sure but it sounds like a deal has been made for it.

I saw one yesterday afternoon that looked just like this driving through my neighborhood in Midland\Greenwood. Doors off and everything.

My Iron Pig (FJ55) is still in Nova Scotia but the transport company has been lined up and it should be picked up next week. This is getting exciting!

Has it been checked for spiders?

Everyone else was divvying up your stuff on the OB, I never thought to speak up for the 55. Looks like you're going to live - so you'll get to enjoy it.

I've never been so happy to disappoint a group of people.

I had a '75. Wish I'd never sold her.

Where in Nova Scotia?

Just south of Halifax, in a place called Portuguese Cove.

The process of getting it shipped from Canada has been more difficult than I thought it would be. I entertained flying up there and driving it down to a friend's place in Virginia, but that was still 18+ hours on the road and multiple days flying. Once I get it to Midland I'll post some pictures.

SOB I need this in my life

Dammit boi those car hauler front springs, 20" drop bumper, and low pro rubber doesn't leave much room for him to clear as much as a kitten in the way or roadkill.

This may be (probably is) a dumb question - but is that picture during loading, or how it will be shipped?
If that's the way it's shipped, can the truck driver see much of anything?
