Dang. Some of those pics makes me want to also overland, but bring a trials bicycle to jib off everything while waiting around....

quite the step up from sleeping under a tarp in your 1st gen tundra I met you in lmao

Man, I know!

Glad to have that experience, but also glad that I never have to do that again!

Weekly trips in the Tacoma are a thing now, despite it not being done.

Water system, and full blown AC and DC power system is fully functional. This thing is ridiculously convenient.

lol paying my annual visit to r3v to throw up photos of any new yotas I've acquired.

Here's the latest one:
1 owner '07 Sport w/ 160k miles
Booked a 1-way flight from Seattle to Palm Springs to pick up a couple weeks ago!

Nice! Sounds like a solid game plan for it. I had a long r3v hiatus so I am out of the loop on most of the long time members previous projects haha. Always nice finding one with no rust, it looks really clean. Mine was primarily a NM car that was in slightly northern az in a garage for a few years so also little to no rust as well. I went with 5.29s since it wasn't going to be on the highway a whole lot and recently ended up bumping up to 37s, so I'm glad that I settled on the 5.29s. I was on 35s and stock gearing for quite a while and man, talk about a complete pig in that configuration! Post some pics of the run and I'll have to check out your future drawer setup! Something I need to work on but haven't gotten around to yet.

this is my old drawer set up right after I finished it, deck height was only raised 6 1/2 inches as my dog at the time was 31" tall sitting and since there was an attic rack I left him an inch of head room lol as he rode back there all the time it was his area lol....

Sorry to hear about the past year, but you'll love the LX! Looks like a really clean rig, does it have factory lockers? You'll be amazed and what these land barges can do off-road!

Thanks for saying that, I will be ok, I am getting there. Oh I am fully aware of what the FZJ80 is capable of, this is not my 1st...... ;)

I love my 80's yeah shes supper clean was a SoCal and SoUT truck its whole life so not a spec of rust anywhere not even hinting at it in any of the normal places. No not a locked truck, my last one was and the only time I ever used the diffs was to exercise them, never even needed them when snow busting trail up in the high country in the spring time, more wanted a clean well kept truck to start with this time, and some how this one was for sale local to me, and for a very reasonable price given the current pricing fiascos. Runs great and whom ever built it (in SoUT) before the guy I got it from did a pretty decent job of it but did cheap out here and there, only recovered the drivers seat pass side needs it, aftermarket head is going to shit already and other small odds and ends but over all its a solid and pretty good place to build on. Seems to have had the H/G done already cooling system seems to be up to spec, lots of newish parts as the tags are still on many of them and toyota ones at that so far I am very excited about it.

Needs a few things, a better rear bumper (its a home brew thats not very solid) so a Labs or Dissent off road will likely be getting ordered, and since there is no caster plates under it, and its so clean I will likely go full on with the suspension upgrades Dobbi 3" taper kit with Adjustable Mono's (since the slinky stuff has become all but unobtanainum) and some Delta front control arms next summer, though as it sits the tags are still on the tried and true OME 851/263 yellow's lift and they ride good. With those big ass 35's ( I am trying to decide if I want to stick with) its going to need a Marlin HD steering kit and prolly set of Nitro 4.88s as shes still on stock gears, and the steering linkages were all but new OEM but 3 end joints were "ok" and one was roached so I haven't got to drive it other than from where I picked it up to my buddies shop. Also will be rebuilding my drawer set up again nearly identical, but with a few upgrades, wired for an inverter (if I want to add one latter) and couple 110v outlets, a removable compact store-able extension from the drawer platform to the back of folded up 2ed row seats for a sleeping platform on the off chance i need to sleep in the thing once in a while, attic rack will be fabbed up this coming week I think, and in the mean time I am just going to enjoy it :)

As she sits waiting on a alignment tomorrow after getting 4 new tierod ends, oil changed, diffs as well, some grease in the birffs and u-joints and basic going though. Prolly take it on a shake down run this weekend before we get too much snow, up over one of the more scenic passes worth about 75miles of back country.
