Hello one and all. I've been a member of several car forums dating back 15 plus years from clublexus to nsxprime and many others. Being a working adult, I enjoy reading and gaining knowledge on all sorts of vehicles, some I've owned and others I dream of owning. My wife and I recently found out we were expecting our first child so I began to look for a nice dependable and safe vehicle for myself to have a car seat in and be comfortable all in the same. My gt500 would not cut it and neither would my back getting a small child out of the vehicle. My wife has a pathfinder so I wanted to get something I could call my own for the majority of the time.
I began checking prices on landcruisers and lx's for a bit on ebay and autotrader, and would check out one every once in a while if I had time on the private sale market. I do work at a nissan dealer, and we just so happen to took a 2000 model in on trade with some super clean service records and one owner. The truck only has 125k on it, and is super straight. Minor scuff on front bumper and the black paint is still very glossy and well manicured. The interior is super clean, the tan seats are in awesome shape, but the only downside is the 3rd row is missing. The timing belt was completed at 90k 4 years ago, manifold had a crack and was replaced last august, boots on shocks were replaced, and many other items have been went through. We still have 6 months before the child is here, but the condition of the vehicle was phenominal and the records were awesome. All the work was done at the local toyota dealership, and the high receipts show it lol.
I'm super excited to learn a bunch on this site and will post pics asap. As usual I hope my first few mods are some updated tundra wheels, a stereo upgrade, upgraded/repaired wood interior (seems to be coming apart or just old and weathered, plus can't tell if it's the stick on wood), and a wood grip stereo. the custom craft shop in tx did a wheel for me 10 years ago for my gs400 and it was awesome, so I will be having the wheel done asap. I would love to hear any suggestions and thoughts. I look forwards to learning as much as I can about the 100 lc. Thanks for the time,
