    Saw this same rig at another show and was able to confirm that it is not triple-locked...

    1997 Land Cruiser; This thing has had six owners, and probably 300K miles, and it shows! I took a closer look and was able to determine that while it did have 4-wheel disc brakes (which I believe were standard by 1997), it does NOT have the triple-locking diffs...

    This is about the worst example of an FJZ80 that I've ever seen; I ran a full Carfax on it, and as stated above it is on its sixth owner. I'm also estimating that it has about 300K miles (Last reported odometer reading was 260,514 in January 2017). That in itself is hardly a big deal because these things were designed to go to the end of the earth, but it was also involved in two accidents in less than year under the ownership of the current owner, the damage from which can still be seen! This Cruiser has been in Northern New Jersey its whole life, and this also shows (look at the rust), and according to Carfax it was involved in an accident with front end damage in March 2001 and had to be towed as a result; It still has a clear title, so it's obvious that either the insurance company deemed it worth fixing or the original owner repaired it out of pocket. It really saddens me to see one in this condition... :(

    2013 Lexus LX570; Spotted on the back lot at Thompson Lexus license plate and in bad need of a cleaning, so I'm guessing it was a trade that hasn't been prepped for sale yet...

    I saw this when I stopped at a Wawa for a bathroom break during yesterday's DoorDash run, but I forget which Wawa it was (I believe it was Horsham, Pennsylvania)...

    :facepalm:

    Anyway, the owner happened to come out and not only did he let me take a picture for my collection, but I got to question him about the specs...

    It is a 1994 model with only 148K miles, everything works, and unfortunately it is not triple-locked, but it is one of the cleanest examples I've seen in a while! The owner said he absolutely loved it and never wanted to get rid of it...

    Same FZJ80 at the same Wawa a week later; I had previously forgotten which Wawa I found this rig at, but it turns out it was the new Wawa on County Line Road in Chalfont...

    I just did what appears to be a Lexus LX570 on the Happy Color app; I am not particularly wild about the color, but still pretty cool...

    So, I found a 1995 Toyota Hiace van for sale at a dealer near me today while surfing the internet, and decided to check it out...

    Unfortunately, the van had been sold already, but they were all too happy to let me wander the backlot and take pictures!

    Prado SX Turbo Diesel; Don't quote me on this, but I believe this one is a 1993...? The back end closely resembles that of an Isuzu Trooper in my opinion...
