Looking forward to some camping trips, year-round sunshine and desert off road sessions!

I usually have my full spare on the roof. (wheel & tire)

Needed to get the center of mass lower for my drive back to LA from Seattle so put the spare tire on the roof and had the full spare in truck.

Lots of winding mountains to tackle and needed the truck to be more predictable.

Ah got it. Nice pic. Noticed you go back and forth to Seattle. This a normal route for you every year or so?

@z168 Moved up there at the height of the pandemic.

Been back and forth filming in LA, and the wife and I decided it was time to move back.... so tons of traveling house hunting and we finally snagged one in Silver Lake.

So we're back for good.

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
pics of the G55 we're referring to as a "rescue"..... super clean 08' when we picked it up but the tranny was toast we quickly learned.... so 5 weeks later it has a built tranny and fully sorted motor(almost every gasket,seal hose and bolt -on )...

Eurocharged also install the spring spacers and Koni Raids - which I have to say I am really impressed with ....they're currently in "medium" setting. And importantly the massive 325 Toyo AT's fit perfectly with no rubbing !

Lot's more parts onroute, and in the works....(many thanks to Jack at Jackwagon - amazing service) will be updating as I add and build her.

Lets see your G class, post what you got. One picture is fine. Or multiple.

I hope this becomes a thing like it is on the other forums!

Funny you asked. It looks like it could just about clear it but I've not actually tried. But I do have other cars occupying the
space in the garage so the 4x4 stays outside.

Thanks for the compliments!

One set of Jack Wagon 2” spring spacers and one set of 285/70R18 Ridge Grapplers later…

JWO now sells a set of AMG replica fender flares which I’m going to install (hopefully my body shop guy has time…he’s been swamped lately) and the 30mm spring spacers I bought but haven’t yet installed. I’m going to paint the front brush guard, re-fit it and mount a pair of vision X light cannons. After that, I’d like to replace the exhaust with a full stainless + high flow headers setup (if anyone knows of a system that’s a bit more aggressive than stock and isn’t incredibly expensive please let me know!) and might do a tune…mostly because I’ve always wanted to tune a car but never have lol

the ridge grapplers are surprisingly no louder than the stock Geolanders and offer similar ride quality. I’ve noticed roughly a 10% decrease in fuel economy though…

@JD101b MBH makes long tubes.... that should get you some HP and more "soul/growl..." and suggest Baja Lp6 or 9's over the Light Cannon's.... much better form and utility for the $$ I've run both....

Just joined and thought I would add a photo of mine.

The first is a 1999 G500 RHD with one previous owner.


The second is another G500 also in RHD Dark Green/Black with one previous owner.


… and the third, a G55 RHD in obsidian black.
