As a 100 owner x2, they're aging and rust/parts becoming an issue. I picked up a 23 Limited to test the waters. OP has a video from prior post explaining why: BUILDING THE ULTIMATE 4RUNNER WHY I SWITCHED FROM AN 80 SERIES. -...

I've driven a 100 series for abut 20 years. Picked up a 4R Limited today. Still feeling it out, but I like some of the modern tech. Most of the tech on it (lane departure, precollision, etc) I'll prob leave of for daily driving. The 4R V6 does not have the growl my 100 series had when you...

Is the 100 series windshield molding functional or cosmetic? Windshield replaced, but molding on both sides needs replaced. After reading various threads on "how to replace" here and other web sources, is it needed? No doubt, it looks better with the molding, but can I just fill in the...

Mines relegated to a winter vehicle, with the '09 LS460 pulling duty March-Nov

I was an '03 LC 100 guy for 11 yrs til a deerstrike killed mine. I now have and '04 LX470. What I have noticed in the first year of driving: Parts/labor are somewhat more expensive, but not by that much. Lexus service and loaners put the Toyota dealer to shame. A few more bells/whistles than...

VGRS light on, no driver door panel control of other 3 windows, and no lock/unlock by driver armrest button. AHC will not go up. No issue of water in from windshield that I can see. Had dealer replacement 3 weeks ago from a leaky PO windshield. However, ton of heavy rain last 2 days and this...

yeah, but in 95% of my life, they're handy for little person entry. However.....if they were to be destroyed on a trail, then I guess maybe it's time to find a replacement.

Spent some time at Windrock today. We stick to the bunny trails since stock and solo. Despite a new map, the trail deteriorated from easy to difficult in rapid fashion. After finding a point of being able to turn around without falling off a cliff, we made it back with some minor damage.

Just did a windshield replacement on a 2004 LX470 I bought. Rust started in the upper windshield trim near A pillar and led to similar water dispersal. Check the fabric of the A pillar on that door, and the headliner near the sunvisor on that side.

I looked at various SUVs for a couple of years before deciding upon the Land Cruiser. What attracted me to it originally was the fact that it is used all over the world in places where maintenance and repairs are not always available. So reliability is a must. The Land Rovers that were also used...

Contact Pentagon Federal Credit Union. They do alot of older auto financing.

I'm a 1-2 banana guy at most.... Switched out interior lights to LEDS Swapped out for new headlight bulbs Removed the center console armrest cupholders and velcro taped in a holster rig. Added some organization in the empty space next to CD changer.

Slid the AMEX into the chip reader to pay the Stealership for: 150k maintenance Timing belt/h2o pump A/C drain line fix New winshield Misc trim seals And new tires at tire place.

You're making me miss SoCal even more. Love the mountain pics. That toy truck looks legit.

The "new to me" 2004 470 has an odd behavior that I'm hoping someone has encountered before. When I tap the brakes (not enough to slow down the vehicle, just enough to engage the brake lights), I can feel a dull click in the gear shifter. It just had a clean bill of health from the dealer...
