I’m selling my 2000 Land Cruiser as we’re moving. I purchased the car about a year ago from the original owner and have put around 1k miles on it.
Some highlights:
- bought from the original owner and have original bill of sale
- car was bought in Georgia and lived primarily in North Carolina...
I have a Mahogany Pearl LC and the side view mirror covers and door handle trim in particular are very faded.
I was looking for replacements for all but I can only find chrome mirror covers and replacing the door handles seems like a PITA.
Would it be a bad idea to just sand those areas and...
Oh wow that’s affordable. I’ll ask the shop where I’m getting the hood and roof resprayed as they were reasonable for that.
Has anyone refinished or replaced the plastic around the door handles? Mine are pretty faded.
My front bumper is fading quite a bit on the top. I assume I can't restore it with the plastic restore stuff that people have used for the trim. Is it easier to just replace with a stock bumper cover and / or ARB bumper? Looks like a new unpainted bumper cover is $150 online. Any tips are much...
I replaced my head unit recently and the sound is better but not amazing. I suspect it's the factory amp as I've read it's pretty low power. I'm debating replacing the factory amp and speakers but feels like a rabbit hole.
I got the new shoes on and alignment done, installed a new head unit and got the driver's side running board off. I ran out of time before I could get to the passenger - was having difficulty dealing with the A/C line blocking the lower bolt on the front right bracket. The PO recently had the...
They have quoted out removal of roof rack and all of that. I am also going to ask if they can pull off the fender flares since they'll be blending the front fenders already and they can address any residue.
I worry that there will still be differences between a separate hood and I'd like to keep all original parts with VINs in tact. I did peruse the hoods on the site though and they're all around $750 which seems about in line with how much I'd have to pay to get it resprayed. Appreciate the tip...
Ha - I've always found good info here and have been a long time lurker. I actually had a lifted 4Runner TraiL Edition for a few years and wanted a Land Cruiser for awhile.
Seems like since it was a southeast car, the fenders should be glued on? Just googled pics w/out the flares and it looks good for sure. Thanks for the rec!
I got an estimate for $1,400 this morning to:
- Repaint hood and blend into fenders
- Repaint roof
Does that seem fair? I've seen estimates all over the place on here so it seems at worst just an okay price.
Just bought my first 100 series yesterday. It's a 2000 LC in Mahogany Pearl on Oak. Bought it from the original owner with 210k miles. The car recently had the timing belt, battery, A/C, radiator and valve cover gaskets replaced so I'm hoping it's solid mechanically for awhile.
Thanks to the...
