high mileage

Hey Y'all - First time posting here. I am at best an amateur mechanic. Currently mostly-rebuilding a gm 2.8 V6 in an 89 Isuzu Trooper. Wife and I decided to pick up a bigger rig that we can keep as our family grows so we pulled the trigger on this 1997 LX 450. She has 180k miles has a...

Looking for some advice here, I found a high-mileage 2001 LX470 with roughly 275k miles on it. It's been serviced at the local Lexus dealership over 240k of those miles as well, so that's a win. And it looks like the last 35k miles were at a local shop, the owner was very consistent and timely...

Hi All. Wanted some input. Pondering about a Lexus Gx 460 that has more than 250K miles. Looks the previous owner did every single recommended service. Do you think this vehicle still has 4-5 years of life left? Thanks in advance for your input!

This was a semi planned impulse purchase. I've wanted an earlier 200 series for a while, but the time was never right for us. We picked this truck up recently when our Jetta TDI died on the freeway. I've been daily driving a very tired 60 series for the last few years. You can find that ordeal...

I recently took my LX in for a diagnostic. I got a good deal on it because of the high mileage, the previous owners took care of the engine and timing belt but everything else needs some love. Another positive is that there is zero rust underneath. -steering rack -outer tie rodx2 -upper ball...

I purchased a 2005 GX470 a while back with 165k miles. Currently it's sitting at 170k miles and the transmission has mostly felt fine except for cruise control erratically shifting on hills occasionally. I know these transmissions come with "lifetime fluid" in the sealed units and I assume the...

1996 1FZ-FE 254,000 miles Any particular reason these metals would be higher or just 255,000 mile things? Haven't noticed any issues in operation, with this info, Blackstone staff said it was not a concern and to check back with another test and we can build a trend.

Trying to decide if a 1998 Land Cruiser with 300k miles on it is worth it. Seller is asking $4,200 so I could probably get him down into the $3,500 range. Seller has informed me: - Timing Belt replaced 17k miles ago - Brakes replaced in the last 18 months - Oil last changed in late Fall -...

Hey all, I’ve read through many threads here but would love advice on my specific situation from the brain trust here. I’ll be doing the Utah BDR in a couple weeks in my rig, along with two friends on KTM bikes. It’s a 12 hour drive from San Diego to the starting point in Mexican Hat and then...

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...

99 Landcruiser 100 Series 4.7 335,000 on original motor. I just had a terrible weekend mixed into an awesome one. My son graduating college headed to Med school with full scholarship. We drove the LC from Colorado to Utah where he'll be going to U of U med school. 2 hours from our...

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...

I'm looking at a 93 land cruiser that I might buy tomorrow if it is a good buildout platform. Also need it though to take friends around town and stuff so it will double up. It is a 1993 with front and rear lockers, rebuilt front axle, 4 inch suspension lift, upgraded wheels and tires...
