Update: Seller backed out and doesn't want to let the truck go, 2nd seller that has done this. On one hand it proves these vehicles are awesome and hard to let go of, on the other hand it is unfortunate to spend the time, energy and PPI $$ only to be let down. Open to any leads on a decent LX...

Yes absolutely, it is in negotiation. I was planning on driving it 600 miles home so without a firm answer/fix I am still open to other options out there. The truck is at LCNW but seller leaves for vacation tomorrow morning and is willing to work with me when he returns however he also knows I...

Update: Seller states CEL appeared on the way to drop off for PPI unfortunately. My flight was booked and I thought I found the one! Alas, still on the hunt for a relatively clean example. Thanks.

There is a truck that i have a PPI scheduled for on Friday. That being said can you pm me some pictures please and what you’d like to get for it?? It’s worth taking a look at the least. Thanks.

Hello all, I am currently looking for my first 100 series. My requirements/desires for a good candidate are: 2003-2005 Model Year** <200k Miles No Rust Any Paint color other than White** Intact and functioning AHC preferably with previous flushes and maintenance Intact stock head unit with...

It is funny you mention that, I have a buddy who did the same when I told him I am prepared to spend ~$20k on a 21 year old truck. When I mentioned the powerplant and land cruiser heritage he quickly realized my motivation. It is harder to convey that to folks with less mechanical knowledge...

Has the AHC system been flushed or serviced anytime recently? Does AHC function as expected and has it ever been evaluated via the ABCs of AHC guide or otherwise? I am interested and hoping the vehicle is still available? Thanks.

Awesome, thank you for sharing your experience. I have been pouring over these threads for months while saving and I am finally ready to buy and It's all I think about all day! The truck I am hopefully going to look at is a Galactic Gray '05 and I absolutely love the spec. One person ahead of me...

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I have tried my best to be a sponge and consider things from the perspective of previous vintage vehicle ownership. I have actually shifted focus a bit and cancelled the PPI on the truck. There were some things that were eating at the back of...

Hi All, I've been lurking for the past few months absorbing as much pre-purchase info as possible. About 5 years ago I bought a 2020 Subaru and it has been, by a long shot, the worst built vehicle I have owned. A total lemon with over 6,000$ in warranty covered repairs with under 80k on the ODO...
