I have my first Cruiser.

Hello all.

Got myself my first Land Cruiser a couple of weeks ago and I love it

Enjoying the Forum too.

All spent out on the purchase, but hope to do a few mods in the future.

Cheers
Tony

Welcome Tony, nice Amazon I've gotta say. That would have been my first choice colour but I got a silver one as the deal was too good to pass by. What year is it? Where in England are you?

Hi Andy
It's a 2003 (52) plate.
I live in Gloucestershire. (Need to fill in the details part, sorry)

Very nice and the best colour in my eyes too. I spy a TD badge on the back so take it you got a diesel. Great car I hope it brings you many miles and smiles.

What's the plan work wise for her??

Hi

It's a 4.2 TD Auto and just turned over 100K today.

Long term plan is to take it to Iceland for my 50th Birthday, 6 years away.

Hopefully lots of trips between now and then, Scotland, Portugal, and Norway the main ones on the list.

Plan for the truck is to fit a snorkel, raise the breathers and fit a swing away spare wheel carrier. That's first.
Any thoughts on these wheel carriers would be appreciated. I know I will need to get some strengthening pieces from Toyota for a UK car. Carriers are on eBay for around £210.
Whilst the hydraulic suspension works I shall leave it be.
I'll go through all the oils and filters too and anything else anyone can think of that I should do.
Eventually roof bars and Maggiolina roof tent but it'll be a while before funds allow that!

Spent a few days in Dorset and took the Cruiser down its first few green lanes.......

Nice one Browndog! Agree its one of the better colours. Like the window tinting, really sets it off.
