    New 100-Series Owner Looking for Advice

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'll definitely look into the CRC stuff, sounds interesting. I don't have a compressed air setup currently since my garage is a glorified shed (can't even fit a mini cooper), so for now the needle scaler will live in my dreams. 🥲 That Rustoration sounds interesting...

    I'm hoping to drop the spare soon and investigate. Just orders a bunch of fluid film, so after some investigation and wire-wheeling that'll go on. I'm in Newburyport, MA, so a little distance from you, but not too far. I think I want to try to approach these first few problems on my own, but I...

    That's what I'm leaning towards. Don't wanna be fighting through a thick layer to get back to the metal. Maybe after some proper repairs and paint, I'll give it the surface shield coating. Also is there a high-heat fluid film equivalent? I'd really like to figure out how to protect the engine...

    Thanks for the input. I paid $7500 for it and plan to use it as my daily driver with some light offroading, but nothing meriting purpose-built off-road equipment (at least for now 👀). Really the purpose is to be a safe and comfortable winter driver. We get some solid snow here in New England, so...

    Thank you for all the input guys! I was confused about why the fluid drip looked greenish, and there is a little viewport in front of the rad that shows green fluid. I know the coolant is pink, should the trans fluid be green? I was under the understanding that ATF was always red, but up to this...

    I decided to write a TLDR version of this since I realize I got excited and wrote way too much. I also thought of a few more things and added them below. The Good - I bought a 2004 UZJ100 Land Cruiser! - Has had extensive mechanical maintenance (21 pages of records included) and an exterior...

    New 100-Series Owner Looking for Advice

    I took the plunge and bought myself a 2004 100-Series LC with 189,000 miles on it. The vehicle has been reasonably well maintained mechanically, but has lived its entire life in New England and was a daily driver for the previous owner. Aside from typical New England rust, the vehicle was used...
