Hello, new to the LC world here. So new in fact, that I have not even actually touched or driven our, new to us, rust free 2000 LX470 (140k miles) yet. It is 1500 miles from me. We are picking it up Saturday.
This summer we plan to load up and drive it from Missouri to Seattle on a combination of two lane pavement, dirt, gravel, and maybe a trail or two for about 40 days.
We’ll be staying in an assortment of Airbnb and hotels, so we won’t need a tent or kitchen. We will need a good cooler for drinks and lunches while out exploring and hiking.
It looks as though some places will be pretty remote and we’ll be traveling solo, so I am thinking we should probably take a gas can, shovel, maybe some sand mats, tow straps, and a come along.
Here is where I need help. The easy way would be bumpers, winch, roof rack, and I love that way. What I’m wondering is there a more practical way, such that if we sell the vehicle after the trip, I won’t just lose all of that money. I think I can get away with leaving the spare tire in stock location.
Could I get away with just a roof rack? Any ideas or suggestions would be great!
