first time buyer

I’ve recently started looking into the 100 series as I’ve found a cheap LX470 in my area. I own a JZ swapped drift car so I’m pretty mechanically inclined, but those are simple, and so I have dove into learning about the AHC and whatnot. I’d be using the LX to tow a small trailer with a lawn...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while and always wanted a classic LC. Now I'm finally in a position to purchase one and I've got my sights set on one in particular. It's a 1975 FJ 40 with 19,5k miles on it and appears to be in incredible condition. This will be a secondary vehicle that I...

Hello all, lurker for a little while and finally made an account. I wanted to ask for guidance on getting a 100 series I have my eye on. I believe from the user guide that links will eventually go through but have to be approved first, so hopefully this works...

Hey mudders, I'm considering trading my 2019 4R TRD ORP with 14,500 miles for a 2008 Toyota J200. It's located in Illinois and the interior and paint/body look nearly brand new. My concern is that the vehicle spent its entire life in central Illinois and the chassis looks to have a significant...

Hi All, I have been eyeing a 100 series and talking with an owner about one. It has 270k miles and was in an accident back in 2018 (have the records and photos before/after). The owner was daily driving it until getting a smaller car this past month and is looking to sell because they don't...

Hi all! I am about to go and look at a HJ61 fully restored in Spain. Never owned a LC but finally I can afford it.:rolleyes: (Picture show another HJ61 but with the same setup) Made a checklist to follow when I look at the truck but I would really appreciate anything that could be important...

Hey everyone, First time posting on here/first time on an auto forum in general/first time buyer. I’m currently looking at purchasing a 1997 Lexus LX450 that I’d like to turn into an overlanding/camping rig. The inside and external body is in near mint condition, however I’m uncertain as to...

I've always loved Land Cruisers and had been set on getting a FJ60/62 sometime next year. I ran across a local 100 series listed for $3.9k and originally had plans to flip it. After driving it for a few days I decided to take a gamble and make a 2000 LC with 358k miles my daily. This may be one...

Hey all, I just purchased a 2001 LC with 209,900 on the clock, and am very excited to join the ranks of UJZ100 lovers across the globe. My previous car was a Mustang (2013, V6 Manual, Pony Package) and while I loved that car I drove it so little that it made sense to move on to something I...

Hi guys! Not ever a truck owner, but a outdoor and adventure enthusiast. As a pilot and airplane owner, somewhat mechanically minded. Always wanted a Toyota SUV, was previously obsessed with 3rd gen 4runners but have now seen the light and want to pull the trigger on an 80series, preferably...
