Hello Mudders-
I’m back in the fold with a newly acquired 2001 100 and happy about it. Actually, I’m 1/4 in as I bought a 1/4 interest in the 100 with three buddies that I go quail hunting with in northern Baja. Our plan is to leave the rig at our hunting club in Baja full time so we can...
Selling a set of OEM Toyota all weather floor mats from an 06 100 Series LC. The rears and front passenger mats are excellent and the front driver‘s mat is very good. Some cracks around the mounting hole are present otherwise these would also be excellent. All the nibs on the rears are intact...
Selling my 06 LC 100 and swapped the stock roof back back on so my Prinsu roof rack is now available for sale. New from Prinsu these sell for $899 +$15 for the rubber trim. Mine is about a year old, it saw very limited use so it is in excellent condition. Sale includes all the hardware...
After years in an 80 and now a 100 I've decided to change things up and join the modern world by ordering a brand new Ford Bronco. Here's what I've got: 2006 100 LC, 164,xxx miles, white/tan. It was originally from Texas so it had the Bushwhacker fender flares which I removed leaving some...
Last weekend I installed the Lutz Auto Speedometer Correction device on my 06 LC100. My rig has Rock Warriors with 285/70/17's so slightly taller than the stock tire size. It was a one :banana: job and took < 1 hour hour including a few freeway runs to make sure it was accurate.
This is what...
Installed the Rock Warriors I bought several months ago. Slee Spydertrax 1.25” spacers and Pirelli 285/70/17 Scorpion All Terrain rubber complete the package.
We just took a trip from San Diego to Colorado Springs and back and I’m very pleased. Quiet on the freeway, and it was very good in the...
Today I learned why most people use 1.25" spacers when mounting Rock Warrior wheels. In addition to claring the hub so the wheel cap will fit and pushing the whhel outward, 1.25" spacers mean the stock wheel studs don't protrude beyond the face of the spacer. Well, I bought 1 inch Bora spacers...
This weekend I installed a Prinsu rack on my 06 100. I followed the YouTube video install instructions which suggested that glob of silicone sealant be applied between the base of the mounting holes and the supplied spacers as well as inside the spacers. I did this but am not confident that I...
Saw this while trolling San Diego Craigslist. 2001 LC with 62,000 miles. No affiliation.

I just completed the modification to a non-Nav set up in my 2006 LC100 (0/4 production date). I’m offering up the complete head unit that was working fine when removed. The lower buttons (rear heat, mirror heat, defrost) were moved to the new unit and the “off” climate control button sits a...
Hey Everyone-
I thought it would be helpful to add my experience and impressions of the new leather seat covers I just got installed on my rig. The previous owner of my car, in an attempt to make the original seat surfaces look as good as possible used some sort of filler product in the...
My son borrowed the Land Cruiser for a week in Baja. Not exactly sure where he is but he’s someplace on the beach north of La Paz. Looks like a great spot! I think I found a new profile photo!!
I tried searching but never got a good result. I’ve got a wiring cable kit from Joey so I can easily connect my air compressor at the back of my 100. I need to determine the best way to route these wires from the battery to rear cargo area on the driver side. I’m either going to flush mount...
Guys- A little bit ago I ran across a vendor on the forum who offers a cargo net storage product that’s held in place with straps that attach to the 4 rear grab handles. It looks great for tossing coats, towels and generally lightweight soft stuff out of the way. I searched but can’t find the...
I've sold my 80 Series and never got a chance to install Joey's brilliant rear Quarter Panel Mount. It's never left the box it arrived in. $240 + shipping. Save a few bucks and sales tax.

Changing directions. Sold the BGM (big green machine) as its affectionately known by my family and friends. After 4+ great years with the rig I came to the conclusion that my needs are different than where this truck shines. My wife and I take tons on long road trips from our home in San...
I searched the forum under crunching sound but nothing helpful came up so here I am. This weekend I was in Mexico and spent several hours in the dirt in some very muddy areas and in all sorts of terrain. My 80 was loaded with 4 people and pretty loaded with stuff; I'd guess the people and gear...
Last Sunday I pulled into my driveway and when I got out of the truck I saw a good amount of pinkish fluid puking out from the transmission area. Uh oh. I had it towed to my local mechanic (John at SD Trux) and he diagnosed it to be a blown head gasket plus other potential...
What size are the bolts that secure the spare tire carrier to the frame and the winch mechanism to the carrier? I'd like to add the carrier and winch back on my truck and I have no hardware. Thanks for the help.

My wife has the LC in Denver en route to Colorado Spings and just had an issue. Says it something with either/both the steering or brakes. I could hear a loud squesk through the phone when she turned and it was tough to turn. She's at the Kimpton Monaco on Champus. I'm thinking she will need...
