Exiled

Great story! Thanks for sharing. These trucks have well earned admiration around the world. My fedex delivery driver is from a mountainous region in Middle East. He always asks how the land cruisers are running and comments how we have so...

Hell yeah Cruiserhead!

Welcome! Love that old girl! :)

Thanks for posting, we're in very similar situation and I am curious to see the responses.

This looks amazing, great color choice and decision to do the trim in black!!!

I live in a suburban neighborhood north of Austin that's become more and more diverse over the 17 years we've lived in our house. I was working on my green UZJ100 late afternoon the other day and I saw an older gentleman walking slowly around the...

I love this thread, especially the struggle between practicality and desire. In a moment of weakness back in 2014, I made the mistake of selling my wife's 2003 100 series Land Cruiser in favor of a "more practical" vehicle with much better...

In my experience, it's very often the lugs that are stripped. You *could* clean them out with a tap but for something like that I'd play it safe and replace them, OEM lugs are cheap.

I can check this weekend for you; if I still have it (which I should), it's yours.

I totally get your frustration, but that looks like it might look better in the darker leather than the original color? I did darker leather replacement on mine (beige interior) and I think it's held up much better than the original!

I considered installing the air compressor on a frame rail or tucked into a corner of the rear bumper but I was worried about dust/water/mud damage.

I run the generic Duralast "mist pattern" sprayers on both of my 100s and they are great. Easy to swap and SO much better than the three streams that never seemed to hit the right spot and wasted washer fluid like crazy...

I have been using a non-offset hawse fairlead ever since installing my winch with no issues. I use it quite frequently too, mostly to clear trees from trails with the help of a snatch block.

I'd be very surprised if the Morrflate compressor fits into the Slee tray; I have a very compact Viair compressor and it wouldn't fit into the Slee tray (which would have been a very clean solution) by about 1" in width. I considered all kinds of...

Nice find! You'll never go back to a regular tent after this.....! :)

I don’t have a problem. You have a problem.

Are you looking for a used set, or new? Finding a used set of five (and I would recommend ordering six if you're going to run these, in case anything happens) will be very difficult stateside; maybe someone with a Middle East connection like Land...

I consider Dissent to be at the very top of the heap (those welds!), but just Saturday I was admiring a brand new Slee rear bumper and that clamp system is a thing of beauty, it is the best out there. The other thing to note about Slee products...

I don't have mine in a 200 but the Victory 4x4 rear shelf in my 100 has been going strong for 2+ years and multiple long offroad trips. It doesn't rattle or shake, although I have had to periodically check the hardware to retighten it. I've been...

I loathe using drive throughs in general but every once in a while, I am forced to park somewhere. Ordered this off Amazon. Works well for parking tickets and tapping the credit card. But beware: if anyone else gets in the car and this is...

Did you try imputing the vehicle's VIN into Partsouq.com? I've had good results there.

This is a good point, but parts availability for Toyota diesel engines has improved dramatically over the last five years, not only are there 5-7 importers that are pretty good with parts availability, but with Partsouq, Amayama and others, most...

Nolen, can you share some pictures of the interior when you get some time? Truck looks to be in fantastic shape, congratulations!

I have a RHD BJ42, and I've gotten used to driving it, no issues. That said, if I was going through the hassle and expense (shipping is nuts these days) of importing a JDM 100 series it would absolutely be a diesel one. There are plenty of petrol...
