    What is the type of heat resistant foam underneath plastic engine cover?

    I've tried search..... and all I every find is that you don't need it if it's rotting away, and for that matter, you don't need the engine cover either. With that out of the way, let's say I want it, and the associated engine cover (which I obviously have) too. What is the type of foam Toyota...

    Grinding when shifting into 4L or 4H when in Neutral vs Park

    Thank you. My ‘98 didn’t have a rear locker, and I never remember the light grinding between low and high. But it was years ago. Neither with the ‘03 I also had.

    Grinding when shifting into 4L or 4H when in Neutral vs Park

    is this normal.... But, I am still on my search for the perfect 100 for me (and I now know, probably not), but I found a Southern California '98 with 250K miles with zero rust, factory rear locker (more of that in a second), clean interior, all electronics work, body is straight - but driver...

    100 Series Front Diff Failure - Random Chat

    I’ve pretty much come to that conclusion. If I get a 2000+, then I’ll just add air and a locker if my wheeling grows in that direction. Obviously it will take some fateful trip that will make me wish I had it sooner.

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    I think, "I'd buy that." If it was just the bumpers, and even minor fender stuff, I think it is an OCD owner who is embarrassed about that type of damage when driving up to the restaurant valet. I just want a blank slate, a preferred color combo, no nav, and a semblance of records. So you may...

    100 Series Front Diff Failure - Random Chat

    Yup. I am beginning to think any pre or non factory navigation equipped LCs will do for me and my use plans. I can always add an air locker if desired, or circumstances/breakage demand.

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    I think you’re correct on all points, especially for me. I’ll never intentionally boulder the rig, or go on roads that require spotters. It’ll be for accessing remote sites safely, getting me through a tough spot, some mud, and for now, rarely snow or ice. Realistically a Subaru meets most these...

    100 Series Front Diff Failure - Random Chat

    I'll never say never, but I really like the size of the 100 series (and 80s too) over the 200 series and 570 LXs. I just feel like I am wearing them, verse being in them.

    100 Series Front Diff Failure - Random Chat

    Much appreciated. I had an '03 and a '98, and preferred the '98 simplicity (No screen or nav system - that failed in my '03). I may just limit my search to '00 and part of '01 (it seems they transitioned to the nav screen around then) to get ATRAC and the 4 pin front diff. Otherwise I'll...

    100 Series Front Diff Failure - Random Chat

    I asked this in another thread, but seems more appropriate here: What’s better? ATRAC with the improved 4 pinion front diff year 2000 and beyond, and add air-lockers if needed? Or is the stock ('98-'99) rear locker good enough and change the 2 pin to 4 later? (Seams valid either way). Also, I...

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    I don't know. I have every record for my '98 and '03 still, and I don't have either truck any more. I kind of think the opposite of where you are coming from. These were/are Toyota's most expensive vehicle ever produced, and so figure most people at that price point had them dealer serviced, at...

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    I buried this question within another question in another post, but it might get more eyeballs on its own. What’s better? ATRAC with the improved 4 pinion front diff year 2000 and beyond, and add air-lockers if needed? Or are the stock lockers good enough and change the 2 pin to 4 later? (Seams...

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    Yes I have been looking at records through the owner VIN system, and having Toyota service reps confirming lack of records too. I guess, I will stick to my gut, and between two physically similar LCs, always go with the one with records.

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    Yes, I understand that, and I would understand a number of years, with records under one owner, and then a break of records when a new owner buys it, and then it picks up sporadically for big things. But zero records is weird over 20+ years unless you find the owner that never trusts anyone else...

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    Yes, a spreadsheet from an involved owner would be great. But even if a flipper bought a one owner vehicle, without records, and absence of some servicing, as a buyer, you almost have to assume that it immediately needs a timing belt/water pump at minimum. It’s tough buying from a guy who says...

    No Service Records = Red Flag?

    Considering 100 series were $60,000+ when new, I’d imagine that there would be regular service records for them since people generally had their vehicles dealer serviced at that price point for many years. Only after moving past the first 7 years and an owner or two would records become more...

    Post your high-mileage 100-series!!!

    Yes to all of your above insights. The thing that killed my 2003, was that it was stolen and the body totaled. So no getting around that unless I am putting metal tubes around, and going a route that 100s shouldn't. My 1998 was total 3 times, and kept my young drivers safe and sound. So all...

    Post your high-mileage 100-series!!!

    So begs the question (since I have been looking for a new 100 for me), how many miles is too many to buy one? I bought the one with 90k some miles and returned it (now kind of regrettably), and I am looking at LCs that are upgraded with Dobinsons lifts, and a few mods in the 240K-270K mile range...

    Keep it or Return it? 1999 LC with 93K Miles

    Going way back to one of my original posts, I suggested that a Subaru Outback/Forester could probably do everything I need in a couple of years when I relocate to Vermont, and that is still true, but wrong. But for those here, which I imagine are 100% Land Cruiser nuts (in a very positive way)...
