    Car & Driver: Overland and See: 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 vs. 2024 Lexus GX550

    I had a Land Rover Discovery many years ago. Spent more time in the shop than on the road. I think the Defender 110 is a nice truck, like the air suspension option. But not willing to find out how is is as to reliability…., My Overtrail, while still very early in ownership, is really nice!

    GX550 purchase cancelled

    I respect everyone’s opinions but at age 68 and being a life-long car fanatic, it is clear that people are highly unique and very subjective when it comes to automobiles. Now owning a Land Cruiser FE and a GX550 Overtrail, I have gotten sucked in to both Forums. And I like many people...

    Car & Driver: Overland and See: 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 vs. 2024 Lexus GX550

    I laugh at some of these reviews. While not claiming to be an automotive “expert,” I have owned many trucks and (high end) cars and there are very few things I do not like about my Overtrail (or my wife’s LC First Edition). Both are very comfortable and drive well, and will take me anywhere I...

    Hood Flutter Investigated and Corrected

    Hi Folks. Got my wife a Land Cruiser First Edition in June and have driven it quite a bit (over her protests). Yesterday picked up my Overtrail at Lexus Latham, NY and drove it home to Vermont (around 200 miles). Mix of Interstate, state “highways”, and back roads. I am Type A (especially after...

    Hello from Vermont.

    Yesterday picked up my Overtrail (Nori/Chateau) from New Country Lexus, Latham, NY. Salespeople Dave Fletcher is great, low key and honest and dealership seems excellent. Put a deposit down last December and they kept me well advised. Dave deleted the roof rack and rock rails (I will probably...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Picked up my Overtrail (Nori) yesterday and drove it 220 miles home to Vermont. Mix of Interstate and back roads. No discernible hood flutter or vibration (and I am Type A on steroids, especially after following this Forum!). Been driving my wife’s Land Cruiser First Edition so it was fun to...

    Prepaid Maintenance

    Like all forms of Insurance/warranty, comes down to one’s peace of mind. Last truck (Honda Ridgeline) I took the $ cost for Honda’s extended warranty and had my broker put it in a set-aside investment. Just gave the truck to my younger son with 90k miles on it and my investment is going towards...

    GX 550 apparent lean to passenger side.

    I got my wife a Land Cruiser first edition a month ago so I’ve been following that Forum as well as this one since I’m picking up an Overtrail for me next week. I’m as OCD as anyone when it comes to vehicles but have to say the folks on this Forum are way more intense! Hopefully you won’t be...

    Overtrail/Overtrail+ Question

    Hi. My Overtrail is supposed to arrive next month. Has the rock rails as a $900 PIO. Should I try to delete which if allowed will leave the standard running boards and then order Wescott rock rails which also serve as a step? Their website offers different options as to steel and welding which...
