    unleveled high beam but leveled low beam? (and reintroduction)

    have you guys encountered this before? shouldn't the headlight adjustment be for both low and high beam? both headlight assemblies are still the OEM Toyota / Koito glass headlight housing. i've tried swapping bulbs around and even replacing them (still with halogens) and always the same result...

    thoughts on buying or passing on this 100 series

    Here's a snippet of it's CarFax record which is really consistent ever since it was first sold back in 2000, no gaps in maintenance to what I can see.

    I like how you phrase it! 🫡 I'll be posting another thread with photos of the potential new to me 100 series and see what the community thinks. Oh yeah, I've also been looking through and looking at each links in the FAQ, trying to gain more knowledge on what to look out for. How long were...

    Greetings and happy to be here! Great suggestion, I'll do that in a few minutes. Excited to get to know more people and potentially pick their brains about the LC in general since this is my first time getting into the platform but have salivated over it since I was a kid (can you tell which...

    Oh for sure and as a somewhat long time lurker on the IH8MUD forum, the community is pretty solid! Honestly, I might even consider importing one from the UAE and get a nice GCC spec 👀 I'll check out the local offerings first but I wouldn't say no to a GCC 100 series.

    Finally talked to the guys at Torfab (Nick was great btw, was really thorough in his explanations and completely honest with me) and CryoMode out in Mukilteo (big shoutout to them, especially Zach). It looks like @shane431 and @excessive hit the nail on the head so I'm going to enjoy this truck...

    My purpose for buying the truck was 1) to be my new, reliable daily 2) to use for camping / light overlanding (nothing too crazy.. yet) and 3) to keep until either I die or the wheels fall off. I plan to be the final owner (as much as possible) and I'm wondering if this one specifically won't be...

    Thanks and congratulations on your recently acquired 2000 LC @Maxgrapene ! The mechanic who inspected it had mostly rust concerns, mainly with the fuel and brake line, he says “could burst anytime”. I’ve ordered OEM parts for it along with a new Brake Master Cylinder (the hard brake lines had to...

    Thanks for the tip @TahoeZ , I’ll give that a shot and spend at least a few hours on the very rusted parts just to confirm there’s no permanent damage to the frame since I’m also planning to have an expert take a look.

    Here’s how she looks. Runs and drives really well. Interior is in decent condition, same with paint for a 27 year old car. It’s just the undercarriage I’m concerned about.

    Hey everyone! I bought a 1999 Land Cruiser with only 203k on the odometer back in May. I’ve put more than 1k miles and loving it so far! I had the timing belt, water pump and radiator replaced since the truck didn’t come with service records so I’m slowly baselining it. (I got a fairly good...
