2013 200 Series Land Cruiser and Mission Overland trailer.

Our 2013 200 Series Land Cruiser was built for extended trips off the grid. With 65 gallons of onboard fuel and two fridges we can travel far off road and not worry about being close to civilization. Equipped with Dobinson bumpers, winch, OME heavy suspension, duel batteries ,40-gallon LRA aux fuel tank and rear seat delete. The truck is purpose built for offroad travel.

Comms are handled by inReach, CB, dual band HAM, GMRS radios and cell booster. The XM radio has an external high gain antenna to bring in the signal when in remote areas. Navigation is handled by a Garmin overlander for the driver, and the navigator (my wife) handles the tablet loaded with GAIA and OnX.

A 2013 Porsche Cayenne is my daily driver. Rare 6spd manual transmission.

Absolutely love your Cayenne build. Did you see the 6spd that went on Cars & Bids for $125k?

Both are sweet but that 6 speed Cayenne is next level cool.
 
‘92 Toyota Pickup I recently acquired after my grandpa passed away earlier last year. 172k original easy miles since he bought new in 92. Going to put some new shocks and maybe a bed topper on it for now but it runs well. IMG_8158.jpeg

Daily is a raptor and for when the hunting/fishing trips are a little too far for the Toyota.

Sorry for the passing of your grandpa. IMHO, keep that thing as original as you can. That’s a sweet little rig and keeping is running is a great tribute to him.

Man, I love the idea of a Raptor for a daily.

I appreciate that man. Grew up going fishing in local ponds with him in that truck. Definitely going to keep it close to original and keep it running. And as far as the raptor goes it’s definitely been my favorite daily on the farm here in South Georgia. Can’t beat the ride comfort around beat up dirt roads and around ag fields here.

Sounds like he was around for some good memories with you. That’s a big blessing.

Our HQ is in northeast Georgia so if you ever want to stop by the office to crack a Montucky with us, let me know.
 
QX80. Comfortable ride, room for gear and has 4WD and clearance, although mostly a family hauler. Don’t love putting stinky bait, fish, or dead animals in it, but my kids trash it anyways 😂. I need to get a hitch cargo carrier, so it’s not in the carpeted cab.

I'll probably be picking up a Y62 Armada in the next year or so unless I can find a Y61 to import. I love that platform and the VK56 is a tank of a motor.

Bulletproof V8 opposed to new turbo V6. Terrible on gas mileage, but I’ve always had mechanics tell me turbo = more working parts to fail. I had transmission failure at less than 70k miles. Mechanic said that’s rare and never sees issues with them.

Was that the 7 speed? Definitely seems a little odd.
I think people are starting to see the VK as a solid competitor to the standard LS/Coyote swap. This dude's pushing over 1900 out of his.
