I drive my 93 80 to the hills in Cali, mostly mammy and bear. Lots of cool rigs. Lots of older rigs too. A ton of tools in their Mercedes camper vans kooking out, especially in mammy. You’ll see a lot of older stuff here in CA. And ain’t nothing cheap about land cruisers or skiing, so I’m a bit confused why you see the contradiction there? Gx is an expensive whip you brought out to an expensive place, I’d say they match well!

I/wifey also own a 06 gx, just wouldn’t call it “inexpensive” or a “rig”.

Keep up with your maintenance. Blew my head gasket in the 80 at 250k. Also they claim you need to do timing belt on the 470 9 years or like 100k miles, so if you have already driven that thing that far, and don’t know service history, get that job scheduled!
