    Break n Fix's Armada Mid Offroader Build

    Dpes RCV make them for the Y62 Armada? I see Y61 Patrol CV sets on their website, but not Y62.

    Break n Fix's Armada Mid Offroader Build

    How often do you run into situations where the stock front bumper would have caused issues where the aftermarket one doesn't? Obviously the stock bumper couldn't take the winch, but I'm more curious about approach angles.

    What total mileage would you be comfortable with on a QX56/QX80/Y62 Armada?

    That's great to hear. I'll manage to sit in one someday, but that reassures me.

    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    Your estimated payload for your "Full" loadout is 1625lbs without hypothetical extra passengers or rock sliders. I would be comfortable with that. And if I also owned a LC100 and Range Rover, I'd be happy to just take two cars on the off chance that we decided to go on a family expedition. But...

    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    Wait, so you're trading your Tundra and buying a full sized trick on the off chance that you want to bring along two very large friends to stay with you and your toddler in a small truck camper? I say simply let them drive their own vehicle and you don't need a new truck. Going further, looking...

    What total mileage would you be comfortable with on a QX56/QX80/Y62 Armada?

    Also, unrelated to the OP, but are any of you guys 6'1"+? I feel like I remember one Armada/QX review where the reviewer complained that they couldn't lower the seat enough. This is one of my complaints with my father's Gladiator. I hate when I feel I'm looking down out of the windshield. I'm...

    What total mileage would you be comfortable with on a QX56/QX80/Y62 Armada?

    Driving a new one and comparing is a good idea that I somehow never thought of. Thanks. I bought my current daily driver with ~175k and am about to hit 200k, so I'm not necessarily afraid of high miles in the right situation. I've been trying to decide here whether it makes sense to get an...

    The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America

    I stopped at my local Toyota dealership in Southern NV to see about their LC list procedure. $500 refundable deposit to get on the list, but they would make no guarantees about how much they'd charge when it arrived. Waiting a potentially long time only to then be under pressure to agree to...

    What total mileage would you be comfortable with on a QX56/QX80/Y62 Armada?

    Thanks! I tend to keep my vehicles a long time (my current daily driver has 197k), but I'm not sure if I'd own this one very long term. I'm interested as theyvseem a good value right now and I want something that can serve as a bridge between old school internal combustion and the next gen of...

    What total mileage would you be comfortable with on a QX56/QX80/Y62 Armada?

    I'm very intrigued by the idea of picking up a Y62 based vehicle and using it as my adventure vehicle in the desert Southwest. Depreciation seems to have hit these trucks hard and there are a lot of trucks out there that seem to have never been driven off pavement. What's the upper limit of...

    The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America

    It's nice that MSRP is returning. Still not here in Southern Nevada for most reasonably desired models. I think that's the first time I've seen a calculator default to payments "Every Two Weeks" though. Guess stretching things out to increasing number of years wasn't getting it done anymore in...

    fake patrol QX56 build

    I actually was talking about this to my wife the other day. It just blows the mind at a time when outdoor/offroad prowess seems to be prime capital for vehicle brands, Nissan just totally ignores the Armada. They gussy up the Pathfinder. I walk by a Pathfinder Rock Creek every day. Their...

    The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America

    This might be a sacrilegious question, but why do people prefer split rear tailgates vs. liftgates? Just for sitting? I've seen a number of complaints about the liftgate on the 250 (not necessarily on here specifically), and I'm curious. I rather like lift gates for a bit of protection from the...

    The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America

    Thanks. I totally forgot that the GX550 he saw wasnt a hybrid. Well I'll wait and see then, I guess.

    The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America

    Nice, thanks. The 5th Gen 4 Runner has pretty good capacity for its footprint. The 4Runner is at 47cu ft behind the second row. I currently have a Transit Connect that is 60, probably 65+ with the rear seats removed. No capable SUV is ever going to equal my Transit Connect for sheer...

    Lets Discuss 2nd Gen Armada/QX Lift Options

    This is good news. The Y62 Armadas are dropping to price points where they seem extremely tempting.

    The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America

    Has anyone seen any reports on interior dimensions yet? I've see exterior, but I'm more interested in interior.

    This truck is unbelievable good

    How are D5 owners getting along with their trucks a year later? The price bubble on LR3/LR4/D5s seems to be popping a bit in my area and I'm again kicking around picking one up for either a third car (LR3 especially) or to replace one of our current vehicles. We waited a long time for a Rivian...

    This truck is unbelievable good

    Fuel was actually one of my worries, but I don't imagine I'll spend that much time in Mexico where I would worry. But yes, I'm pretty convinced (partially from having read this thread) that diesel is the way to go.

    This truck is unbelievable good

    The diesel is what I have been looking for for the reasons you mention (though my wife is somewhat opposed to diesel in general). I'm a tiny bit afraid of the diesel particulate issue that a couple of people have reported on a different forum, but not so much as to be put off. Diesel is cheaper...
