Adding another one to this list:
1. 1999 UZJ100 River rock green
2. JT3HT05JXX0065142
3. No name uno (at this time)
4. 197k miles
5. Grey cloth interior, no sunroof, no locker, no second row heat, no spoiler
It does have the 3rd row seats with 3rd row roof mounted air control, rear cargo windows do pop out, roof rack, side steps
6. All stock (for now)
7. Daily driver for the time being
I’m the third owner, got it from a family in Reno. No rust!
I was looking for a white 03+ cruiser for daily driving but I couldn’t pass this up.
First order of business is getting on top of the maintenance with timing belt, water pump, accessory belt, alternator, power steering pump/reservoir/ lines, starter, coil packs, sparks, fuel pump and filter, heater Ts, radiator and maybe a few others things.
Then fixing some interior trim and removing the aftermarket JVC head unit for an OE head unit.
It needs tires and an alignment and I might do a little suspension work.
Let me know what you think!

1998 Toyota Landcruiser for sale by owner - Tucson, AZ - craigslist
If you know Landcruiser, you know these trucks are built to go the distance and this one has proven it. This 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser has been extremely well maintained, recently refreshed with a...

Yes, I’ve seen them both ways just like standard.
FOR SALE- read further
Gentleman, I’ve been duped.
I figured getting the carfax for my new poverty pack would be prudent to see where it’s been, some maintenance records, etc. I should have got the carfax before the purchase…
Turns out the previous, previous owner to me had swapped gauge clusters prior to selling to the family I got it from. The car had 320k miles in 2018 and then when it was newly registered in Reno in 2019, it had 138k miles.
Fricken slimeball. This was not disclosed to the family before me, and when I mentioned it to them, I could tell they were shocked.
Anyways, I was overzealous in my purchase and I’m realizing that I don’t have time to do all the maintenance on it now, especially now that it is approaching 400k miles.
Funny thing though is it does not drive like a 400k mile car. Maybe closer to 300k miles.
All suspension arms were swapped (front upper/lowers, rear trialing arms as well) in the last 3 years as well as the rack and pinion.
I was looking for a car that I didn’t have to immediately work on and that I could just drive comfortably as a daily.
So I’m selling it now.
Like I said in my first introductory post, I was looking for an 03+ in white. I’d be happy to trade as well. But if you’re interested in purchasing this poverty pack (river rock green mica posted above) then let me know. Give me a fair offer. I have tons of pictures and the carfax I can send to you but now we know this one has high miles!

Hello Fellow US-Market Poverty Pack Enthusiasts!
I wanted to post a message in the thread to notify you all that I am in fact selling my 1998 Land Cruiser with a cloth interior. I had previously posted my car for the registry, and it is a repainted silver over gray cloth upholstery car that was optioned with everything else (ex: it has a sunroof and third row seats).
It is currently listed in a live auction over on Bring a Trailer, and ends on Monday August 31st: No Reserve: 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser UZJ100 w/Factory Cloth Interior - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-toyota-land-cruiser-98/
I have loved this car over the last four years, but with my recent purchase of an LX470 Limited Edition, it is unfortunately time to let the Cloth 100 pass on to the next caretaker. I first learned about these rare 100s through iH8Mud, and feel very fortunate I was able to own an example with the cloth interior. Compared with any other 100 inch have ever had, this really is a unique driving experience that puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Big shoutout to @TheLCProject for the content and work you have put in to document these over the years!
Based on how enthusiastic the comments have been about the cloth interior, I know this will be going to a good home, and for anyone interested, let me know if you have any questions through the BaT comment section or contacting me directly. It’s exciting to see one of these for sale at an auction for the first time!
Have a great day!
Thomas

I was just signing in to BAT to deliver a message.
Do you a the original window sticker or a moneoney label? Wondering if the front splash guards are OEM or if the running boards were removed and front splash guards added. Also the roof rack.
Typically poverty pack cars do not get the port add on rear wind deflector but this one had it.
Thanks
Perfect timing then! When I bought the car it had the running boards (the non-painted early 100-series ones), a roof rack, gold badges, and the rear wind deflector. It was a one owner car so I believe these were installed when the car was new.
I do not have the window sticker unfortunately, but did install the front mud flaps with Toyota units myself.
I removed all those parts awhile back, but still have them all (short of the rear spoiler as it cracked) and they could be reinstalled. On page 5 of this thread you can see how the 98' looked before I took off those parts. Thank you!
That’s wild! The one right under in page 5 was one of mine that I sold 
small world. I’ll keep watching the auction

This is not really a "Poverty Pack" 100. It's a regular, typically optioned '98 100 but with the cloth seats kept in. There were thousands cloth seat 100's but most of them had the cloth swapped out at port or dealer for leather. And you can tell which ones those are because the leather pattern is different or the rear pocket might be leather... and also shown on the window sticker.
If I am not mistaken, almost all of those were actually ordered through Southeast Toyota Distributors with the sole intention to install their own leather interiors (they also just have a leather panel on the door panel instead of the stitched panel on normal leather cars), and those Land Cruisers had their leather interiors installed before being delivered to customers. In practice, those cars never really had cloth interiors that far beyond the factory.
As far as I have learned, those were a completely separate situation from cars that were actually ordered with a cloth interior for the rest of the country. Of the cloth cars, there are a spread of those built with no options (ex: no rear locker, no sunroof, etc.), some had a few of the options with the cloth interior, and very few had every option and the cloth interior. Usually people who went for the cloth went for no sunroof or no third row. All that to say, the only cars that would be a part of that other category would be Southeast Toyota Distributor cars, which I am not sure I am seen any examples of those cars keeping their cloth interiors. Someone here might have one though?...
Southeast Toyota Distributors supplies over 150 dealerships. Do you think those vehicles arrived in port without any seat coverings, just foam? They would have exposed seat heater coils. They would have to be safety compliant.
My point is your 100 came with every possible option available for 1998 for the US, except leather seats.
Your factory options:
Sunroof
3rd Row w/ flip out windows vs fixed.
Seat Heaters
Power front Seats
Rear locking differential
Tinted side and rear windows
I'm no trying to gate-keep you from "poverty pack" status but there is no "pack." You just don't have leather seats. You have cloth seats.
