Looks familiar, but I can't say that I know the build.

He had a CJ-based buggy IIRC... that one is a TJ. It does look like a Matt Ballard build though, maybe Casey or BHR had some involvement in the build?
@Vonski ... care to weigh in?

Seth was the CJ5. Beech had/built it to my recollection. I agree that the pictured rig is a TJ. I can't place the build at all
I'm curious what @I Lean or @Vonski would point to on the cage, fenders and suspension. Kind.of generic looking to some of us, but those that built the rigs at the time would know things.
Pretty fancy rig for 2003-2005 era. (Still pretty cool to me)

This is actually chad schoons old tj. He sold it to a somebody in Cali iirc. It was originally built by Rock logic, then outer limits redid a few things, then BHR did a new cage and a few other things. That cage doesn’t look like the cage that BHR did though… So maybe it’s new one… @Vonski @Greg @cruiseroutfit @anderson750

Thanks for clearing it up, Calvin! We all knew it looked familiar, just couldn't place exactly who it belonged to. Being sold to a Californian makes sense, as it was spotted on the Rubicon!

That was the fellow who offered help. So many groups just drove right by, but he stopped immediately, asked what was going on, and started rattling off a list of the resources he could provide. That was right about the time we figured out we had the necessary spare bolts so everything was under control, but he's awesome. Hope to run into him on the trail again some day.

For sure, Carl is a good guy. His truck is the result of many years of work and many dollars of parts.

Seeing more and more of the new Land Cruiser out and about. They are neat vehicles!

They are nice looking for sure. I'd assume that they have decentish (at worst?) performance being a hybrid?

I will likely get some seat time this weekend in one and can report back, but the one time I did drive one, last September, it was plenty peppy. The few folks I know that have them already are impressed.

They seem 4-Runner sized to me. Is that just the styling and they are actually big old barges like the 200 or are they more 80 sized?

I'd say more in between the latest 4Runner and Rav4... they're tiny!

I saw several in the San Juans this weekend (some of them even on dirt!). I didn't get out a tape measure, but they definitely seem 4Runner size.

They are the same platform as the 4Runner, Tacoma, and GX but have a higher roof than the 4Runner so more interior space.
They are damn near exactly the same wheelbase as an 80.
