Dear Land Cruiser

[Sean Molina]

I love you. My family loves you. Some of my best memories have you in it. I'll never forget the times we got stuck in the mountains. You always got us out.

But your expensive. You take all of my time and "enough" is never enough with you. There's always something. One day it's a leak, the next day it's a transfer case, u-joint, or something else. It's always reading in between the lines with you.

You're not even that good off-road. You have no power and you're a gas hog. I don't know what people see in you but I hate to love you.

Love,
Sean

How dare you say they’re not good off road.

What generation/series do you have an issue with?

 

[Sean Molina]

What generation/series do you have an issue with?

I have an 80 series. 1997. They're easy to work on. I haven't had anything major break. Only small stuff.

I'd say My 1997 Tacoma has had less issues and is more capable off road.

I have an 80 series. Driving the 1FZ FE motor with full time 4WD feels like your pulling a Radio Flyer full of bricks.

My guess was 60 series but that still tracks.

OMG YES, THAT thing is junk! I'll trade you a Remington R51 9mm pistol and a pallet of PBR for it, doesn't even have to have a title as we'll just part it out anyways....

I’ll do an RM380 with an Uncle Mike’s holster and a free lesson in basket weaving.

Dude wins, I CANNOT beat his basket weaving, still in the underwater development at the Y kiddie pools. Dang...! Wait, what color is this lemon?

 

[Sean Molina]

I don't know. Green? It has this stupid little switch that lets you lock the center diff. I need to get rid of this.

Yes, the gas mileage is terrible.

Yes, you could possibly push a shopping cart as fast.

But there is absolutely nothing I’d rather have.

@Sean Molina Did you mean to say Dear Landrover????

Coming from a guy with a 2000 Discovery 2, that is exactly what I thought. I mean, their names do both start with "Land"...

This is the way

 

[First_Focal_Plane]

This is the way

Indeed.

And this song is appropriate here. My PH turned me on to it.

My mislabeled 200 series has been wonderful for 200k miles. Powerful, capable, plush as fuck, bomb proof, the fuel range is the only complaint and that can be fixed with an aux tank

@Sean Molina Did you mean to say Dear Landrover????

I honestly thought he meant Land Rover too!

 

[Sean Molina]

My 80 series is fine. It's easy to work on but it's had more issues than my Tacoma. The kid who owned my land cruiser before me abused it. So, I'm sure that the issue.

I've had my Taco for twenty years. That thing is the definition of bullet proof.

That said, the 80 series has no power. I know the full time 4x4 takes most of that power but, good lord, that think is slow.
