I live in North Pole, Alaska and I was notified today the Land Cruiser I reserved has reached the Port of Anchorage… Only 450 more miles to go. Hopefully it will be ready to pick up in Fairbanks in a week or two. I’m ordered the Land Cruiser in underground with 18” wheels. I’m so geeked!!!

While backpacking in Australia in 1989, I rode in a few Land Cruisers in the Outback. I was sold. I loved the high functionality, durability, and the looks. Company cars and family first cars have kept me from getting one but I finally picked up my First Edition in October. Loving it!

And loving this site! Thanks for bringing us all together.

I’ve cycled through many cars over the years and I’m only two months into this, but it’s the first time I’ve had feelings for one. It certainly has its nits, but I love it.

I stepped up to a 2024 Land Cruiser 1958 from a 2015 4Runner Trail model, which I put 150,000 miles on, so it was just getting broken in. I have been driving a succession of 4wd vehicles of various sorts since 1972 (ok, 1967 if I count my Army service). I have owned 2 IHS Scout II's, a Jeep diesel Cherokee, 2 Ford Explorers (when they were built on truck chassis), an F150, the 4Runner, and now the LC. Just got the LC about 3 weeks ago. Possibly with the exception of the F150, the LC is the most sophisticated off-road vehicle I have owned. I am looking forward to running the LC through its off-road paces. The LC came with "street" tires, and the dealer could not swap them, so when it comes time to replace them, I will get mud and snow tires of some sort. Looking for suggestions.

BTW, my other off-road vehicle is a 2004 Aviat A1-B Husky (a bush plane), which can go many places no ground vehicle can go!
