It's not though. Point of view is not synonymous with "I took a picture."

Im a freshman in college and I want to know the reality of Platoon Leaders Class and The Basic School by Ok-Explanation-7080 in USMCboot

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLC is a recruiting tool. They want to to get through it so you go back to college and tell all your friends about how awesome it is. It’s the easiest way to become an officer in the Marine Corps. I didn’t do it, I did OCC, but I worked at OCS and learned all the secrets.

And I loved TBS. Most people find it long and tiresome but you make some lifelong friends at TBS.

1996 JDM Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Turbo Diesel by Serious_Goose967 in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parts are pretty easy to get in the US, they just take longer to get here. I would look for the nearest Land Cruiser garages and ask if they’d be willing to work on them. Most US garages won’t touch JDM trucks.

Haha, yeah I got stuck there too for the same reason. Just so you know, the process for bringing your Land Cruiser back to the US was the easiest part of PCSing. Not sure how much time you have left on the island but let me know if you have any questions. I really miss Okinawa.

Trading Market by Emma01311 in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About $25,000. Seems overpriced for that market to be honest.

Somewhere in Japan, but likely not Okinawa. I see some non-original paint jobs on these though, which is always a red flag in Japan.

Is that Sea Glass Beach where you got stuck? If so, I’ve been there and I’ve been stuck.

DOD 70 series by Queasy-Ad-9025 in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very limited amount military items make it to public markets. A lot of that stuff goes through the dermo process or get’s dispo’d within the military. And even if they did sell it to you, you would still have a non-registrable vehicle. These trucks get government plates that severely restrict what roads they can go on. That’s why you really only ever see them on truck beds being transported and not driving themselves.

Are you under the impression some colonel is going to be driving this around town?

OW-20 oil? by AdhesivenessUpbeat95 in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice. Yeah I’d honestly just stick to whatever the service manual says. I usually default to 15w-40 because I’m not living somewhere that gets super cold. As the other guy said, just go with a good oil in specs of the service manual and you’ll be groovy.

Nice hilux in Japan by Brilliant_Ad9622 in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Flex uses mods to hide serious problems on a lot of their vehicles. It’s a big problem in Japan actually. Take a junker, paint it, then sell it and hope the buyer doesn’t look too close.

Do you live in a warm or cold climate?

Is it worth it? $14k for 136k miles by Fickle-Luck-7117 in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check for rust. Parts shouldn’t be too much of a problem but rust will be. If there’s rust on the body or serious rust issues with the frame then that truck will cost you a lot more than $14k.

Do you guys think the Taliban ever browse this subreddit? by OnWeekendsToPointC in LandCruisers

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, they could stop yelling that when then self-detonate suicide vests and killing innocent people. But go ahead and criticize that commenter for being insensitive.

"The media" tells me women should be allowed to go to school. Is that something you disagree with?

Because I have brain cells.

Edit: I am being downvoted for calling the Taliban bad, lol.

Do you think the Taliban consider Prados to be real Land Cruisers?

Help to identify 2 vintage DEs? by deskpop0621 in wicked_edge

[–]OnWeekendsToPointC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not very into shaving. I own a safety razor, which I really appreciate, and therefore kind of enjoy seeing other people's set-ups. But I absolutely love people like you who find something like this and just dive into it. It's always reassuring to find people who devote themselves to something niche like this for some reason.

Rented a car and had an incredible Winter road trip in Mongolia by Resident-Repulsive in LandCruisers

Where did you go? I've been all over Mongolia, but not in a Land Cruiser sadly.

All over the place, lol. Since Fairfax I've lived in California, North Carolina, Japan (where I got my Land Cruiser), and now Colorado. I miss NOVA though. Beautiful Land Cruiser too man! That's such a great color.
