    (Likely) Slow and Steady 99 Family(ish) Cruiser Build

    I’ve always had a thing for Land Cruisers and the 100 series, in particular - they’ve always seemed to have a great balance of being at home and not out of place just about everywhere. Certainly capable but not obtrusive. These qualities appeal to me functionally and to my personality in a...

    Gunmetal Badges by Joe Tucker posted Jul 24, 2016 at 8:47 PM Sorry that the photo quality is lousy but after the plastidip suggestion and OG 91 LX's link, I ended up doing some searching and ran across this awesome Mazda Graphite metallic that several people have used for repainting their trim...

    Best Place to Buy Replacement Emblems/Badges

    Also, I'd be glad to give my gold emblems to anyone who would like them once I have replacements. Seems wasteful to throw them away just because of my personal preference.

    Best Place to Buy Replacement Emblems/Badges

    I'm not a big fan of the gold emblems on my 99 and am looking to replace them with silver. I've done some googling and searching here but can't seem to find a definitive go-to place for replacements. Have any of y'all made a similar change? What vendor did you use? Any non-conventional...

I just didn't want to buy something sight unseen or have to travel to go pick something up - I just...

    1999 Land Cruiser - purchase or Pass?

    Excellent - only thing I could find was the most minor surface rust. I'm really happy with what I got for the money.

    1999 Land Cruiser - purchase or Pass?

    I've also been in the market for a 100 series and all I've been able to find in my area have been trucks that are either way overpriced or not in good condition. I talked to the (now previous) owner of this truck yesterday afternoon. Went to look at it this morning and was very impressed with...

    Found a 2001 LX with just under 100k - advice please

    I've been looking for a 100 series for a few months and have come across a 2001 LX with 98k miles. Second owner. Talked with the guy and it has been driven by his wife and garage kept since new. Has new tires and brakes in the last couple of months. The timing belt has not been done. They...
