What year is considered the bestyear to have within the 100 series? Is it the 98-99 with the rear locker option? Is it a 2007 because it's the last of the 100?
What is the bestyear of the 100 series and why?
I'm asking as i'm in the market for another cruiser and the 100 series is...
I'm wanting to build up a LX470. With a SAS, supercharger, expedition style lift, etc....
Would like to start with a low mileage rig. Are there any years that stand out as better or more reliable or more options?
I saw that the rear locker wasn't offered after '00? It can still be installed...
hi, i'm looking to buy the lc100 or lx470 and i want to know what is the bestyear to get ? i been reading history about the rig some has the rear lock, some has 5 speed and some has more horsepower so what do you think is the bestyear to get in your opinion ?
Hello,
I am a newbie here. I just have a question. I am looking at a LC 100 for my next vehicle and I am an avid hunter. Where I hunt, it is the Ohio River bottoms, so there is no hills but there is really sticky mud. I found a 99 really cheap, but the two-pinion diff worries me if i get...
Thinking that I read somewhere that the older LX470´s had less problems with the AHC system, vs. newer? Is there a high failure rate?
Also if you press the down button...how much does the AHC lower the LX470 compared to a Land Cruiser with a normal suspension?
So I have $15000 limit. I wan't a 100 series but don't know what year is best. It will be my daily driver/expedition vehicle and a weekend trail rig. This will be my first LC/LX.
I got a Base GX470 but its still too nice to wheel. :)
I am begining to think that the 98-99 100's are built better than the later ones. I've heard of many more problems from 00 or newer...
i just have had my frist real issue in my 98 - the starter - at 125k. I also just replaced the original battery 2 weeks ago - it was still going strong...
:popcorn: Ok, this is my price range ... although the 02 and 03 are REALLY pushing it. I hate to admit it, but I am considering selling a '96 80 with 99k miles on it (open f/r) to get something that is probably more practical for my limited off road usage.
Anyway ... I have read some on...
Looking for a little help from those with a good knowledge of the differences between 100 series model year vehicles. I know they range from 1998 to present. I am looking to find a good used Cruiser for my wife as we are expecting our first child. My Mother owns a 1998 (With rear diff lock)...
Have watched prices fall on these models during the gas run-up and think we might have hit bottom, so I've decided to look at a used 100. Have really focused on an 01 and an 03 model, but do not much about the 100's.
1. What would you pick and why?
2. Are locking diffs standard in both?
3...
I have read about the various changes in the years with the help of some board members as well as some digging in the archives..
Now I thought I would seek some first hand advise..is there any quirks in certain years of 100's that aren't there in others. or should I just buy the oldest, lowest...
