PO reported doing since 2020, since 180k mi. (original post at SOLD - Texas - 2000 Land Cruiser - $23k - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/texas-2000-land-cruiser-23k.1366985/#post-16053624) -- have their records since taking ownership in 2020:
We are the 3rd owner. Looks like first owner reported some damage and/or accident and previous owner did some dent pulling after hail damage (before repainting). Honestly could not tell. There is one ding on the hood that I've pointed out in the photo album.
Will upload service records reflecting the work we've done since taking ownership:
Other quirks that I'm aware of:
Bottom line is that this thing is in great condition, strong and maintained mechanically, good history of preventative maintenance and many QoL things addressed (interior reupholstery, improved sound system, back-up camera). Entirely and incredibly rust free given its life in Texas.
Will scan the PPI and more recent records tomorrow and put them in the linked Google Drive.
If anyone nearby wants to come look at it shoot me a message. I'll try to check at least once a day.
Let me know if there are other pics or videos that would be helpful. Can give my number to serious inquiries.

We are the 3rd owner. Looks like first owner reported some damage and/or accident and previous owner did some dent pulling after hail damage (before repainting). Honestly could not tell. There is one ding on the hood that I've pointed out in the photo album.
Will upload service records reflecting the work we've done since taking ownership:
- Replaced starter, relays, neutral safety switch
- Replaced the fuel level sender for a fully functional gas gauge
- Sat the car when we noticed a coolant issue a couple of months ago: went ahead and did timing belt and water pump, fan clutch, a/c condenser fan, radiator, thermostat, hoses. Issue seems resolved and has not reoccured.
- After this a bolt in the oil pump backed itself out (?) and the new o-ring was bad – made a bit of a mess but now all seems good to go.
- Replaced tie rods and steering sub assembly
- Dealer reports apparent small rear main seal leak but listed fluid leaks as "OK" on the PPI-- hard to confirm if an active leak/weeping or was just oil from the pump bolt / o ring issue previously
- Actively monitoring and have seen no oil consumption or a leak sufficient to make it to the ground, but will address if not sold quickly or an issue becomes more apparent
- Dealer reports also cracked ball joints and suggested replacing the entire control arms and ball joints preventatively but we decided to forego that for now
- Dealer reports and we can confirm that the CV boots have tears though listed them as "OK" – given the lift & torsion bars cranked it will probably require diff drop or the more heavy duty Tundra boot fix to address more permanently? Will address if no one interested quickly
Other quirks that I'm aware of:
- Rear hatch lever slightly loose, still functional
- The 'bar' LED lights on the bumper not connected (see video of light functionality)
- Window motors are strong but the switches are finicky and could use some attention at some point
- We use the bluetooth to the stereo but to be honest have never figured out the Apple CarPlay reported by PO
Bottom line is that this thing is in great condition, strong and maintained mechanically, good history of preventative maintenance and many QoL things addressed (interior reupholstery, improved sound system, back-up camera). Entirely and incredibly rust free given its life in Texas.
