Narrative:
This aircraft had recently come out of maintenance for previous problems with air/ground logic. Our departure papers stated that the aircraft was determined to be airworthy; and in addition; described the previous problems and what other crews had experienced. These problems basically included: possible partial-flaps landing; no reverse thrust; no autospoilers; and no autobrakes. On the first leg; we experienced no problems. On the second leg; approximately halfway to destination we received the [EICAS] status message 'lnd gear monitor'. This was the problem discussed in our departure papers. We discussed the problem and the possible implications with each other and with dispatch. We determined that based on our current situation (aircraft weight; weather; wind; runway conditions and length; etc.); the best action would be to continue to destination. While enroute; we discussed the possible failures we could have during approach and upon touchdown and reviewed their associated checklists. Upon check-in with approach control we advised them of our situation and that we may need extra time/airspace for the approach. Upon the initial selection of flaps; we received a 'le slat asym' message. We ran the appropriate checklist which led us to a flaps 20 landing and a vref 30+30 (approximately 161 KTS). At this time; the captain declared a precautionary emergency with approach control. Upon touchdown; I immediately determined that the thrust reversers were locked out and not available. I decided not to wait and see if the autobrakes would work and manually applied steady; even braking with the intent on using the entire runway length. The captain also immediately applied manual spoilers. Upon exiting the runway at the end; we discussed our rather long taxi route and the high possibility of a brake overheat situation. We decided to inform tower that we would need to shut down and be towed to our ramp; which we did. While monitoring the brake temperatures while being towed in; we determined that we would have most certainly experienced a brake overheat situation.

Title: A B767-300 that had recently come out of maintenance for problems with air/ground logic had a repeat LND GEAR MONITOR EICAS message during cruise and a LE SLAT ASYM EICAS message upon arrival at their destination. The flight crew declared an emergency and after landing was towed to the gate.
