Thanks arbetrader. I was looking for 2003+ and just lucked out finding this truck. Not thrilled with the integrated nav/ac system, but doesn't sound like the 03's have the same issues as the 04's. Thanks to Mud, I was able to do a lot of research before I bought. Such a great resource, hope...
Thanks BBQ. Checked out your build thread, truck is looking great. Yours and others are inspiring me to get mine going. First things I'll drop $ on are tires and sliders--probably the slee steps like yours. Look forward to hearing your review of them, kid approval, etc.
We also have a 6 year old, one of the reasons I moved up from a 4Runner to a 100-series. Still plenty of room for all three across the middle row, and can hold all our gear in the rear (and a box on the roof if needed). Have taken the 6 year old out exploring through the Angeles NF, she digs...
I think you're right. Had a conversation with the wife just last night about necessary modifications to the truck. A few eyebrows were raised, but she didn't run screaming from the room. A good sign...:cheers:
Thanks Fuzz! $26k, which I thought was pretty good for the LA market. Had been looking for a low mileage 100-series for a while, just lucked out on finding this one. She really is super clean, and the previous owner was meticulous with service (maintenance log book filled out in detail)...
Good call. Could keep a set that is more street friendly, assign the 16's to OR travel. She is my DD though, so was thinking of keeping any future tire purchase to either BFG AT or Nitto TG. Thanks for the input.
Thanks everybody. She is super clean, couldn't believe the condition when I first found it. Though keeping her this pristine is tempting, we've already driven the local NF roads and discussed improvements. I'm thinking a Death Valley and Mojave Road trip are going to require a little...
Thanks, stoked to be part of the club. I've lurked on the forum a bit--reading build threads and hearing how capable this truck is definitely sold me on the 100-series. Tires and sliders are at the top of the list for early mods, think I can sell a pair of Slee SliderSteps as a replacement for...
Hi all--new 100 owner, absolutely love the truck, and just want to say thanks for all the great info I've learned on this site prior to finding my LC. Spent about 6 months searching for that perfect, low mileage 100-series and finally tracked down a beaut: 2003, 38k, CA truck babied by the...
