I may ease this one back into the conversation at some point. Wish me luck!

Yeah I did. No it doesn't.

I was hoping someone would pipe in and say, "Adding an AC unit is easy!".

This isn't an argument I can win. All this is code for she wants AC.

I lost this one. She believes it's more prudent to focus on a more modern vehicle.

Seller says it's a 2.4 L.

It is awesome

That's funny!

I really would like to look at it but there was one thing I forgot about. My significant other requires more creature comforts than a ride like that will provide. Doggone it! Oh well, back to the drawing board.

1990. This one. No mention of which engine. https://www.milanuncios.com/todoterreno-de-ocasion/toyota-land-cruiser-349505438.htm

Stumbled on a clean LJ73 3 door but don't know anything about them. So what's to like and not about this model?

HaHa, goodoldboy, I'm from Texas! Been living here awhile and have some British friends here and there. Back stateside the sky's the limit what you can add to a 4x4. Inspections only cover emissions, condition of tyres, wipers etc. I had a Dodge 1500 with a suspension lift, heavy bumper and big...

I get that, Roger. My wife likes form, I'm looking at function. It's a battle of wills which most times she wins.

The white one has the rear locking differential option. The black one, just the standard center locking.

This is the other one I'm considering. https://www.coches.net/toyota-land-cruiser-30-d4d-vxl-5p-diesel-2004-en-malaga-46335922-covo.aspx?xtor=CS2-7843-[crm]-[1084]-[link1]

Doesn't exactly like an OR comp vehicle. https://www.milanuncios.com/todoterreno-de-ocasion/toyota-land-cruiser-3-0-d-kkr-351283693.htm

Rodger, I was looking at an ad for a 150 and I understood most of it but can't seem to get a search on what they are referring to with the suspension. It reads as follows: "suspension proflex off road regulable en compresion y extension con botella separada". The only Proflex suspension I find...

Hey, Rodger! I hoped you would add your 2 cents! Got my eye on one in Fuengirola. There's a 100 series with 245k on it that looks like a good candidate too. Being a Yank I have to convert km to miles to get a feel for what I'm looking at.

I'm looking at used Prado's, 150's, etc. and was considering viewing one for sale that is loaded with all the typical mod's, winch, front and rear steel bumpers, suspension lift, larger tyres. The thing is it has 200,000 km's on it. It appears to be in great shape with all the service records...

So, it's been awhile and after some consideration we are entertaining Rodger's idea of keeping the Q and adding a used LC. Got my eye on a 150 with all the mods but here's the question; is purchasing a 150 with 200 km's a wise choice?

Size-wise it's not much larger than our Q5. We'll see.

I see a number of LC 4.5 D4D's but they're carrying more mileage on them than desired. Because this is a vehicle that acts as our main form of transport we're probably going to revisit the Prado or perhaps something like a Hilux. It would be cool to have something with more curb appeal but...

Thanks for the search, Rodger. I'll do a search myself.

A 6 seater 70 series would be cool. Kind of hard to judge what the going price is based on the used market.

It's been some time since we passed through Ugijar. I'm going to give this some more thought. Is that your ride in your avatar?

Yeah, that crossed my mind, Rodger but I think I may refrain from suggesting that.

Man, that's some great info you laid down. Never thought there was so much involved with modifying a vehicle. In the states you just do it and forget it. That's gonna surprise the wife! Btw, we live in the campo near Pampaneira.

We live in the Alpujarras (Southern side of the Spanish Sierra Nevada mountain range). Nothing too challenging but when it snows and rains it can be. There's lots of mountain tracks and my wife is very interested in the whole overlanding stuff. From what I'm seeing this Prado shares more...

This being my first 4x4 purchase in Europe, I need to get this right. While I currently own an Audi Q5 with the 2.0l engine (which is just fine in this car) my concern has been an increase in size combined with the smaller engine. I was excited about the new Defender but my German wife is...

So that's a Prado?

Or something similar. Here in Spain one can pick up a stripped down GX for about 36k. The thing is it appears to have a basic infotainment system and perhaps it does not have the Crawl Control. My wife seems to feel those features are a must. I say not. Any thoughts...

Just signed up because we're in the market for a Land Cruiser. We're from Texas but live in the southern Sierra Nevada of Spain. I'm not sure what series the 2019/2020 fall under so if someone could share that, that would be great. My wife wants a model with all the crawl control and traction...
