I like this topic and hearing everyone's input on what they prefer. As others have stated, the geography of where you're camping does make one more desirable than another. As someone who does most of my camping in the desert, the ground tent has proved reliable and efficient for me many times...

Saw the video - it's cool. Shirt.

Looks like it is going to be a solid trip! I will definitely need to partake someday..

Heeeyyooo! Come follow me at @sz_cruiser (previously @stough77)

I don't doubt that for a second. In my normal day to day driving with the truck unloaded I'm between 11 and 12 mpg. My elation was due to the fact that I had quite a bit of weight in the rig and I was cruising at 75-80 mph for the majority of the drive with the AC on. You certainly don't buy a...

Pit stop on the way to Gooseberry Mesa. First significant road trip in the LC and it performed flawlessly. Averaged 16 mpg from San Diego to Vegas - a new record!

Been light on the mods for a while but I finally got around to removing the factory roof rack in order to re-paint it. Popping the plastic covers off of each of the 4 corners was a bit of a concern as I wasn't sure if they were brittle or not, but it turns out they were in perfect condition just...

It's in Anza-Borrego State Park - Fish Creek wash (thru Split Mtn.)

Here's my new to me -2001 Land Cruiser. Mild changes are underway illustrated in my build thread. I love and admire just about anything with wheels, but am partial to Toyotas for the simple fact that I'm hard on them and they've never let me down. This is my 5th Toyota and my 4th truck - I've...

Mod #3: Shocks. The stock Tokicos which were most certainly the original shocks actually performed acceptional for their age, but they were well beyond their service life and some replacements were in order. A full suspension package is the obvious choice, but on a budget I opted for the...

Mod #2 was also simple; swapping out the stock low beam and fog lights for some Philips Crystal Vision Ultra's. Cost was $16.29 for a pair, at that price I decided to buy two pairs (the 9006 bulb works for the fogs and the low beams). By comparison my nearest Pep Boys were selling the same pair...

Thanks bud! It will be slow going since I split my money between mountain biking parts and camping supplies...haha.

The first and to me most obvious modification was to remove the running boards. They did serve a purpose and certainly saved the paint on the doors. To keep the paint preserved I purchased factory front mud guards ($115 for mud guards and hardware). I'm all for a little desert pin striping, but...

Greetings everyone. Here's my go at a very modest, but practical build thread. The vehicle is a 2001 Land Cruiser purchased with 144,500 on the odometer. There has only been one previous owner who took care of the truck almost as meticulously as I would have. It's been fun reading thru build...

Hey everyone - Justin here. Been a long time adventurer/car camping fanatic ever since the day my father picked up his brand new Toyota 4x4 p/u in 1990. I've owned 3 Toyota Trucks (2 4x4s) all of which took me beautiful locations all throughout California and Arizona. I'm now the proud owner of...
