How did you manage that, just 2 ? Is the 97 lx450 the model 80 you mentioned ? Do they still make Landcruisers ?

I just forgot. I'm a ford man anyway.
My son in Colorado just bought his son a Rust free 1996 Ford Explorer that is a cream puff with 108k miles. Its a Denver car and is sweeeeeeet. He picked this up for $3000 from a one owner guy. I looked for one of these for a year before I bought my LRD2. No comparison in quality but still I love my Fords.

Hello from north Texas. Land Rover enthusiast here just starting to branch out into overlanding. Have spent most of my time patching together Series trucks but now have a new Discovery and looking to build it up. In fact, I have my first trip in it to the Big Bend area between Christmas and New Year's. Looking forward to diving in here.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Mike. 2017 Sprinter with Agile rip and winch looking for other Sprinter owners who want to do some over landing. I’m heading down to do the Bradshaw trail in the next couple of weeks and would sure like some company. Wife and dog are with me.
I live in the North Bay.

Sounds like fun but we're probably not heading out that far during the next few weeks, max is roughly 4 hours away. I'd love to hear about your trip.
I'm always traveling with my wife and 1 young boy, sometimes 2 teenage boys come too. My wife and little guy love it, teens - not so much. I'm guessing we're going to get some snow seeking travel in the coming weeks - little kids love snow! Any pointers on nice snow trips?

Finally downloaded the app to join the community. Been a long time subscriber on YouTube. We live in Jacksonville Florida so we’ve done a few trails and camped at the beach many times. Looking forward to more trips out of state.

Good evening from Santa Cruz, California.
I've been lurking off-road forums for a few years now but have decided to commit fully after a year without distractions... Right?
I owned a 2000 4Runner from 2009-2018 when I traded it in for a 2018 Tacoma TRD Pro. On the 4Runner (limited white/tan) I ran it bone stock save for some all terrain Michlen tires.
I have 2 huskies and family in Southern Washington so long distance vehicular travel has been a part of my life for the last decade+
I have been fortunate enough to have friends and families with access to open land in the eastern Sierra's and up and down the California coast which has always provided my access to the great outdoors.
My challenges have more recently been (other than getting time off work ) finding places where me and my dogs can roam free.
My current rig, the 3rd gen Tacoma has already been through a couple of evolutions. My first accessory was a Can-Back canvas topper to provide shade for gear and my mutts. I ran that for about a year and a half before finally finding a roof rack that would fit around it. (SOS concepts "Bedstop Bedrack"). At the time this was paraise! I could keep my soft top and carry more gear up top (With a thule force XL cargo box I had used for my 4runner). Well, as it turns out, having a rack with a 700+ lbs static load rating opened up a whole new world to me.
With me and my 160lbs of dogs, I never had any qualms diving in the back of the 4runner or 5ft tacoma bed with topper but a couple of years ago we added some more members to the family. My girlfriend and her small shepard mix. Needless to say, 3 dogs and 2 humans require a bit more room!
Enter the world of the RTT and my full exposure to what I have learned to be the overland community.
