    For Sale SoCal - LX470 right side corner lamp

    Hit a deer and a couple hours later it flew out of position, immediately disconnected from the harness, and then I watched it in my mirror explode under the tire of the truck behind me...

    Getting a new to me 100 series what’s a fair price?

    That's a tough one. I'd say $25k-40k+. That sounds like a candidate for BaT and if on there it's anyone's guess where it would end up. Reason for the wide range is private sale a fair price IMO is $25kish probably closer to $30k, but if I were selling and did my homework I'd know this thing...

    For Sale 2006 Land Cruiser - looking for pricing feedback on this listing

    Seems high, most with that mileage are in the $20-25k range. I bet they’ll work on the price if you really want it. If they’re firm, go buy a 200 for that money.

    Lower control arm replace the bushings and service or replace the whole arm?

    @Malleus Thank you! I have actually replaced all of those components and still have a slight vibration...nothing too terrible though. My next step was to replace the Front diff bushings. I have them all ready to go, just need to schedule some time to take the truck down. I can hear my diff...

    Lower control arm replace the bushings and service or replace the whole arm?

    That is my dilemma...has been for a while now...newer/lower mile 100 series or a 200 series or fix up the old girl and keep her rolling. I've elected to keep the old girl rolling, for now.

    Lower control arm replace the bushings and service or replace the whole arm?

    I've got similar symptoms, '99 LX with 360k miles. For my rig I'm thinking LCA bushings, Front diff bushings, or failing CV axles could be the cause. They all need to be replaced it's just hard spending thousands on a rig with 360k miles...

    Steering Rack Replacement, What's the Latest Word?

    I'm planning some front end maintenance on my '99 with 350k miles. Steering rack is original. It has showed signs of leaking, but lucas oil leak stop has slowed the leaks. What are the other signs the rack is failing? I do notice a very slight roughness when steering at high speeds. Hard...

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    @growly I was in a pinch ~5 years ago and had mine done at a local shop here in Charleston, SC. Ended up around $2400 so I’d say you got a good deal, considering. I’ve got 70k more miles on my new assembly with not a single problem. It’s the only major repair I’ve had to do on the truck in...

    Remote Inspection Help - '99 Gulf Coast Imperial Jade Mica with light rust?

    Looks awesome, $20k is heavy as alluded to given it needs a timing belt and a radiator. Do you know if it's garage kept? Reason I ask is I have the same paint color on my '99 LX and have had clear coat issues all over the truck. I bought it at 250k and the paint just wasn't maintained and...

    craigslist Need some opinions on this truck please

    I bought a ‘99 with 245k miles and have driven it for 10 years. Zero regrets and now sitting at 350k miles with many more to go. I think this looks like a great ride and well kept. If you can wrench you can handle what it throws at you but be ready to baseline it and prepare for parts to...

    New guy here - looking for advice on buying 99' LC

    You need service records that indicate what’s been replaced and then you’ll know what hasn’t. Then you can use the guides to see what might be upcoming. Some examples at that mileage: CVs Steering rack Brake booster pump Starter

    2005 LX470, Ready to Buy...good deal?

    That's steep, but as others have said it's the going rate. Would I pay that much for it? No. Really depends on your plans for it. Are you wheeling it? Are you planning to drive the wheels off it? This thing will go to 500k miles and beyond so you'll get value out of it. I've had my 100 for...
