Hey everybody,
I've recently tried to remove my fender flares, and every single one of them came off without issue except these things on the back end:
I removed four or five metal clips that were holding it in but it's solid on there still, too much to force off. Any advice is appreciated...
Yeah no I've noticed that as well. How is the interior difference between the 02 and 07? I'm definitely planning on kitting it out for overlanding, but it'll mostly be used for driving on roads. I don't have an issue with upping the budget really, but if there isn't too much of a difference then...
Thanks man, I'm planning on doing all the servicing by myself and with my father unless we absolutely have to take it into a shop. I'm going to be patient and wait until an 06-07 model comes up with a good maintenance record, and that was used as a DD.
I appreciate you talking about DIY maintenance cost for yours, I was actually wondering how shop prices compared to DIY prices come out with LCs. I've worked on a lot of cars and my father whose going to be working with me on it has as well, and we've got plenty of tools. One of the most...
Ahh interesting. I'm assuming that 06 has served you well, then. There aren't a whole lot of options on the used LC market right now that look that great so I may raise my car buying budget to somewhere around $9-$10k.
Thanks! I'm now pretty set on finding an 06-07 model. I'm going to be finding a cheap beater (maybe $6-7k) and instead dump the rest of my budget into servicing and replacing all the parts that need it. I have started to notice the premium you're talking about, though.
Don't mind the book at all, nice to have all the info condensed. I think I have decided to go the route of buying one for ~$6-7k and then I'm putting the rest of my budget into baselining it and making sure everything that I think needs to be replaced gets replaced. I have experience working...
Hey all,
I'm about to buy my first Land Cruiser 100 series after having owned a 60 series with a slew of problems that could never get fixed. I only drove the car for a few minutes across it's lifetime. I'm wondering how many miles is too many to start off with when it comes to 100s? I've been...
Thank you and the OP for this. I'm about to be a first time owner of an 80 series that needs some repair from 97, and I can already see this being so useful. Do you think there will be major discrepancies between the 96 and 97 manuals? I'm determined not to spend $125+ on an OEM repair manual...
