As someone who hauls around a family 6 I think you’ll be well suited in a 100 or 200. I own an ‘04 LC and my older kids (15 and 12) fit comfortably in the 3rd row. They actually love sitting in the back. I have a car seat in the middle and...
Been toying with the idea of buying a kit to electrify my Giant mountain bike. I like the bike, it's all I needed so far. Quality and performance are decent but it's probably worth only $200 or $300 on Craigslist, so not a huge value that I...
Thanks for the update. More pictures or a link to more pictures? Undercarriage shots are typically the critical factor here. If you happen to have pictures of the damage that happened that would be great as well. Over half of the 200 series on...
More follow up...I've shopped the LC around at a few dealers here in the Park City area. They're offering mid-30's at best. I'm looking for a bit more than that from a private party sale if I can get it. Otherwise, I'll hit the easy button and...
Sure, the VIN is JTMHY7AJ9B500954. We have not replaced the radiator, and I am not aware of a cam tower issue. We are the second owners. We bought it last year in Illinois, where it lived its entire life with the original owner in an affluent...
I haven't looked at a Sequoia since I was shopping for the 4Runner, and even then it was an early first generation. I'll take a look.
I think at this point in time with the way parts and labor has gone, pretty good advice for anybody to try to...
Thanks for all the feedback so far. It’s far more than I anticipated. Been reading it all even if I haven’t replied yet! I’ll try to sit down tomorrow to respond to some of them.
I grew up in a 100 Series, my father bought one when I was 9. I'm 33. and now my first child (due any day now) is going to grow up in one. Despite the age, and all things associated with 100's (heavy maintenance, economy, dated tech), these are...
We bought our 100 in 2004 (while the 100 was still in production, lol). It has served as my wife's daily and ferried our 3 year old (now 23!) and his mom and dad to mid atlantic beaches, mountains, vacations/road trips, travel soccer, virginia...
My 2001 has three car seats in the back. Lifted and 34's. Its a great daily in the fact that I know it'll never leave me stranded, but its not great in the fact that i get about 12.5 mpg.
Only two of the back seats have LATCH anchors, but my...
Looks good.
Inner CV boot looks to be slinging grease.
Radiator looks to be original and potentially on it's last legs. (Yellowing of top)
The undercarriage is not bad at all.
Like you alluded to, $20K is a bit heavy.
Hey all,
Good friend of mine blew the engine in his 89. Its a pretty BA rig, 5 speed, 4x4, not perfect but a nice van to go camping in. Needs a new engine... exhaust and brakes recently done.... I want it but its 2000 miles away. It will...
I drive an 07 100 series and my wife drives a 2015 LX570. Both are great dailies for our two young kids (5 & 7). If we had three, I'd defer to the LX due to the electric 3rd row and being able to raise and lower it as needed. Honestly, the LX...
I too bought my 100 as my "daughter-mobile" and family adventure vehicle.
I love my 9th gen 5spd Corolla, but for obvious reasons we weren't thrilled with it for hauling kids around. (still have it though)
My daughter is still in a carseat...
Hey all!
After my old daily's head gasket blew up, I needed something to take me to and from college, and recently I found this 2000 LC with 330k miles on it for just under 6k, it's been a California car its entire life so it's pretty much...
03 and up was my requirement for my ''daughter-mobile' when I bought because of the availability of side airbags. It worked wonderfully for kid hauling and usefulness. We always had friends coming home with us and our 100 had plenty of space...
try this
1. start engine and straighten wheels / steering wheel as straight ahead as possible
2. turn off engine, disconnect battery, open a door to draw down any remaining current in the wiring..
3. hook up battery, start car. VGRS...
Id try reboot again if you haven't already. Disconnect battery, touch both cables together to fully discharge the system, then reconnect. Turn key to "ON", but not start, let everything boot up. Then turn all the way off, and then turn all the...
