Hello all,

I’m Matt, a San Diego native who has had Land Cruisers for the past 17 years and just converted to being a Grenadier owner. I’m an avid off road enthusiast who really loves exploring the local deserts, and driving chase for a few friends who powered paraglide. I have a small YouTube channel where I mostly discuss two-way radios, but it was initially created to catalog my adventures. Maybe with the Grenadier I’ll get back to the adventures.

I also enjoy scuba diving, the wilderness, two-radios, shooting, tractors and building things to make life easier.

Beautiful 200 you have there! How do you compare the 200 to the Gren?

Tedrocket, I am in the exact same boat! I would include a shot of both my gren and the LC 200, but the LC is at Slee getting a few upgrades. Are you going to LCDC in Ouray this year?

The blue ‘01 is gone at this point as I had to make room for the Grenadier. The green ‘11 200 series has 210k on the clock and is a daily driver. I may sell it at some point in time, but going to keep at least a 100 series and a 200 series.

That green was the best color.

Nice Heritage! I built and was very content with my 2015, so I wasn't looking to upgrade. Looking back I should have bought a '20 or '21 before prices went crazy. They went from discounted in the high $70k to dealers listing them for $115+.
I would love to go out west, but I don't have the time to drive that far. My son is currently trying to steal my 200, with the encouragement of my whole family. He goes to college in the mountains of NC and everyone is pushing for him to keep driving it because sometimes they get snow. I will admit that it would just be sitting if he wasn't driving, but it's my 200! There is nothing like them.

That's clean. Selling my stupid-low-milage 1992 80 was a mistake. And if I'm honest, had it been a different color it still might be here.

Is that GOBI rack and ladder? Slee rear bumper? Are those steps or sliders?

Yes. Gobi rack and ladder. It has held up pretty well. I need to treat it and repaint it soon. It's been on there since 2017 baking in the Florida sun.
The bumper is a cheap import that I bought bare metal from VPR4x4, I think was the name. I primed and Rhino lined it and have modified it a bit.
Factory steps. Never got around to swapping out to sliders.
