Is this a daily driver? With around 24-25 years of use, you have averaged about 18/19k miles a year. Do you think driving it that much helps keep it running well?4 Timing belts at normal intervals and no issues w/exhaust manifold I'm aware of, no known leak noise or symptoms.
Hey there, fellow Hundy owner. 285k here, mostly stock. in BR.
It is a daily driver for the most part. I do think constant use would help and much of this is my highway commute to work (my wife is always local in town however), but there are times during a given year that the truck sits for months as other vehicles are used, especially for the >$6.00/gal we paid for gas for a while in California. This Landcruiser has never been babied and the maintenance isn't done at exact milage/times specified nor at the dealer, and I think about proactive maintenance when it comes to mind if you know what I mean. When I have a long road trip coming to the high desert, I check if maint is needed...Is this a daily driver? With around 24-25 years of use, you have averaged about 18/19k miles a year.

How is she towing the seacraft? Currently have a 19 foot pathfinder and want to upgrade to a 22 foot pathfinder with dual axel.Happy ending, truck is fine. Nothing more than a fan/accessory belt that broke as a result of a pully bearing finally failing at 457K. That was a first, wife was driving so her fault.
I've reported on this (bought new) amazing '99 Landcruiser before but now 457K and still runs perfectly. No motor work ever besides maint and wear stuff (alternator, radiator, AC parts, coils, rotors, CV/Axles, worn steering wheel and shift knob), but the valve covers have never been off, zero transmission, diff, rear locking diff, or transfer case work for anything. It tows a 20' salt water fishing boat often, and no rust from launching. The original radio antenna still powers up and down....
Extras include only ARB/OME lift and nice shocks, LEDs all around, better tunes, drilled/slotted rotors (don't warp like factory), and K&N filter since new. Not a drop of oil used in between changes, 14mpg no matter what.
Needs include only to replace the front seat leather which I'll do next.

Awwweeee look at the cute baby!My wife's 2006 is just about broke in... View attachment 3311759
It tows very well and notably much better after the ARB/OME suspension as it's much more stable now. It's certainly not over-powered with the small V8 but fully adequate and my trips to launch are long, 1 1/2 hours each way by highway. The other things is my boat weights around 3500lbs plus trailer and has no trailer brakes so I was warping factory rotors frequently, then changed to aftermarket slotted/drilled (StopTech??) and EBC green pads and no warping at all. There is no sag with the ARB/OME lift, will do 75mph no prob, no overheating even on long uphill grades and that's the only time I'll use premium unleaded if I remember.How is she towing the seacraft?

This gentleman went on an interview about his high mileage Mercedes diesels, but can't help bragging about how nice his 300k miles LX470 is throughout the entire interview Must be a forum member here.
We have a '99 here at the shop right now with 322631 mi on the clock. Original owner, timing belt only done one time; at 186376 mi.
