Hello from the enchanting PNW

[Evergreen Daydreams]

Hey all!

After obsessing over Land Cruisers for most of my adult life, I am so stoked to finally have one secured in my near future! Someone backed out on a deposit for one at a local dealership and I immediately jumped on it (finally, obsessively refreshing local inventory paid off! ). I should have it next week, but wanted to say hello since I'll likely be contributing to other threads between now and arrival.

I am an avid outdoorsman, and spend most of my free time hiking, backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, fly fishing, diving, and soon-to-be overlanding.

Looking forward to engaging with you all! I'll add pics once I pick it up.

Welcome from the east side (North Bend). You’ll love the LC for all of the activities you mentioned. It’s been great for overlanding and I’m excited to get the skis on top soon! Hope to see you out on the road -

Welcome to the forum from a fellow PNWer! I think you’re going to love your Land Cruiser.

Thank you! I'd rather have a 2025, honestly, but with ski season rapidly approaching and no vehicle to get me out there, the impatient side of me won out haha. Hopefully you get yours soon!

Thank you! I knew I forgot something in my post haha. I got the two-tone Heritage Blue with Java interior, non-premium. I would've been happy with anything, but I think this was probably my first choice. There are a few installed options that I need to sell, but otherwise I am thankful I was able to keep it to a lower SRP!

Updates! I spent a lot of time cycling between color preferences and decided that the Meteor Shower was a better fit, since I plan to stealth camp in the back at trailheads and parking lots. That Heritage Blue is stunning and attracts a lot of attention!

The Heritage Blue vehicle that I put a last-minute deposit on kept getting delayed, so I took it as a sign to keep searching, and ended up finding a Meteor Shower in-state where the buyer backed out. Hopped on a bus at the last minute, crossed half the state, and brought her home! As a bonus, I saved a few thousand bucks!

Actually picked it up last Friday, but didn’t get a chance to drive it in the daylight until I finally had a day off today. Absolutely in love, and thrilled to finally have a Land Cruiser!

ETA: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
