new 100 owner

Hello all, I just recently purchased a 100 series LC from a family member. I am looking to build it into a sweet rig to be able to reach fishing spots and conquer harsh conditions during the winter months. From what I know it has been sitting for quite some time. I have replaced the battery, and...

Hello all, Just recently got my hands on a 100 series which I've lovingly named Hondo. As you can see from some of the pictures below, I couldn't wait to take it on some trails and I plan to hit some more as soon as I refresh some parts and deal with a few gremlins. Joining this forum I hope...

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...

Hello everyone, just picked up a 2004 Lexus LX470 with 106,099 miles on it. Essentially 1 owner, original owner passed and their next of kin sold it to me immediately. First step was to address the wheels as within a week I had a flat tire. Not the greatest experience right off the bat...

Hey guys, my name is Nic and I recently bought a 1999 Lexus LX470 with 239k miles, and I am very excited to travel Southern California with it! A few things I wish to address before taking it on some serious trails are: Mechanical: - CV Axle replacement (torn boot, no sounds when turning). -...

Hello all! My name is Randin, AKA PadaD, and I'm new 'round these parts! We (me + wife + 2YO) are moving to Costa Rica in about 7 weeks and so we'll be ditching the Prius C in favor of a capable 4x4. On our last trip down to Costa Rica it was the rainy season, we'd rented a stock 4x4 Mitsu...

Hello all! I am looking to buy a new FJ. I sold my '89 a few years back, and want to own a truck again. I am looking for some insight regarding 100-series cruisers and what to look for when buying one. I've looked through the Classifieds here, but most of the trucks are in too good of condition...

Well I have finally done it. For better or worse I have finally become the owner of a Land Cruiser. Now I can join the site officially and stop being a lurker. All though I must say I am grateful that guest can read posts and see pics. Anyway, I have a 1998 LC that I probably paid too much for...

Hello there! Picked up my 2002 w/ 175k miles in the Bay Area about a month ago. Since then I have done some basic maintenance and am working towards a full baseline. New to the Bay Area, and any off-roading tips or info is appreciated. Before the LC I had a JKU Willy’s, and a TJ (family also...

Just bought an 03 Lexus LX470 w/ 200K miles. It was the right price for a straight cash rig. It was between that or an 03 LC but that one was a rust bucket and had some weird electrical mods that made no sense, So I went with the LX way better condition and at a much better price. If I decide to...

I'm thinking of buying my first Land cruiser. The price and high mileage has always scared me away but thinking of making the jump. I'm looking at a 2004, one owner, 108k mileage LC for $25k... The dealer claims all these updates have happened in the past 1k miles. "Everything listed below...

I had an 89 FJ62 for almost 15 years; it was a hell of a truck but I wanted something a bit more practical. And comfortable. So a Mud member from Texas picked up the 62 and like that, she was gone. :frown: I looked and looked for a 100 for almost a year before I pulled the trigger on this...
