    Hey guys, hope all are staying safe. Looking at some older Land Cruisers and a 2007 FJ Cruiser. Since we're new to 4x4, is there anything special to look for to stay away from potencial trouble and/or headaches. The FJ has about 130k miles and those LC's are closer to 190k miles.

    2WD camping... where to go

    Hey guys/gals, We are just starting out with this Overland camping. Currently using a 2003 Yukon XL 2WD (shopping 4x4). Have searched but what I'm looking for does not come up. We are looking for really nice campsites with scenic views, and fairly easy routes that a 2WD can get to. Is there...

    Hey guys, Grumpy (aka Bob) here. Newbie, but have purchased our RTT to get us started this spring. We only have a 2-wheel drive 2003 Yukon XL, so hoping to find some nice off road areas for 2wD.
