Glad you moved the truck! congrats. To be honest I think you are lucky to get that for it . either way, you got what you wanted and thats all that matters,

For the feature... just remember it is always easier to sell a 100 percent stock rig then on that is not! that goes for motorcycles, boats whatever.

Very nice! Any rubbing issues with the larger tires?

 

[Matt's4Runner]

None - it drives like stock - I was shocked!

Congratulations on selling your 4R. That's a real nice Land Cruiser. BTW, your Land Cruiser has one feature I really like: Gas filler on the right side. I really enjoyed rarely having to wait in line to fill up my Isuzu Trooper because the gas filler was on the right side of the vehicle. With the 4R now I'm just one of the bunch and I often have to wait in line to fill up. Wait and see, you will really appreciate having that on the right side.

Matt, I have Toyo Open Country A/T II on my Trooper. I think they're kind of a noisy tire but I really like them otherwise. Very durable offroad. How's yours in the noise department?

 

[LandCruiser]

Holy hell that is pimp.

 

[Matt's4Runner]

Thanks, I'm real happy with how this all turned out. As much as I loved my Trail, this is a much better solution for a family of five. The best part? I got 21 mpg highway yesterday, which beats the best I got with the pretty much stock Trail by 3mpg!!! That's after lift and tires and comes with 381 horses and wicked torque.

The Toyos hum a little at freeway speeds. More than the BFGs I had on the Trail but much less than the Duratracs I test drove on a used Land Cruiser a week or so ago. Can't hear any noise in the city even with the windows down.

that is pimptastic:fro:

 

[Matt's4Runner]

Correction, I just topped off. Hand calculated 20.16 mpg over 74 miles and 5 city miles. The best I ever calculated on the Trail was 16.67 mpg, all hwy.

Man I can't imagine spending over $50k for a vehicle.... that is nice though

Hmm, only 79 miles? Are you sure that Land Cruiser didn't come with racing fuel in it?

 

[Matt's4Runner]

FYI: "topped off" means I didn't fill the tank, I just added enough to fill it to the top. It required 3.918 gallons to do so. I travelled 79 miles between the tank being full and it requiring 3.918 gallons to be full again. I don't know another way to explain it.

Pretty sweet man! The toyos will quiet down after a couple thousand miles. Any other plans for it? Are you leaving the third row? I looked at a 200 but didn't see much cargo-carrying advantage over the 4runner with those stupid seats in the way.

 

[Matt's4Runner]

I actually bought it for the seating space. My Trail didn't have a third row, and I found the third rows in the Ltd.s too tight. This fits my family like a glove...and it rocks offroad.

 

[2013Trail]

Where do you live in SoCal, Matt? I'm seeing Mojave Desert in those pics of your LandCruiser. BTW, I 'spect you'll be leaving the forum now?

 

[Matt's4Runner]

Good call, on both counts. That's Pleasant Valley in Joshua Tree National Park.

It's been a slice T4R.org

Awesome ride man! Looks good!

Does it fit in your garage? From that angle looks like it is too high?

One thing I would change is that chrome side strip on the bottom of the doors. I would unclip it and have a body shop paint it matching the cars exterior color. That chrome strip is an eyesore. If you do this it would be perfect!

What's with Toyota and their obsession with Fake Plastic Chrome on all of their new vehicles...When will it end?
