This is one of the most capable 100-Series and a unique one of a kind build! There has been 'no stone unturned' on this truck build. Currently sitting at 256k miles and runs perfectly; I would have zero issue driving it to Alaska tomorrow!

This is a turn-key set-up for overloading and beyond LOADED with a plethora of accessories including the Extra Long Autohome Columbus Variant, Waeco 50L fridge/freeze, Recaro driver's seat with long leg extension and about a 1000 other mods/features. Please see attached PDF list of features, mods and included equipment & accessories. I also am including extra Toyota OEM parts, CV shaft assemblies, etc. And the full set of Toyota Factory Service Manuals for this series!

Just installed new front Stoptech BBK rotors & pads along with new front hub bearings, grease, etc. Full & comprehensive 90K PM (and then some) done 30k ago. All brand new Denso coil packs, full injector diagnosis, clean and mapping done last year along with heater Tees, etc., etc., last year.

There are not too many 100-Series as capable as this one. It has taken me to Hole-in-the-Rock (not the HITR you can drive in a Honda Accord :)) three times including twice down/up the Rincon portion. All over the Maze District, Lockhart both directions, Poison Spider & Golden Spike, Metal Masher, over 100 nights in remote Death Valley, Mojave Trail, all over New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada (of course ;) ), Utah(!), Oregon, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota and more.

I have used it as a base camp, overnight rig for a 12-week mostly off-road foray, remote fly fishing access, upland and big game hunting trips and on and on and on. Its capable. Its comfortable. And its dead-on reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to Alaska right now.

I purchased it in late 2004 with 69k miles. It is a purpose built rig with off-road capability as the center for design. It has more little accoutrements than I've seen on any other rig in its class. You just have to see it, drive it and camp out of it to understand its breadth of capabilities and relative creature comforts.

It has been properly maintained, more so than most as we travel into some very remote country that precludes extradition via AAA. I PM everything sooner than scheduled to try to shore up back-country break-downs. This strategy has proven very successful to me and this wonderful truck.

So that begs the question: Why am I selling it? My soon to be wife and I are on the heals of a major lifestyle change. I've purchased an '07 Chevy LBZ HD2500 with the expectation of ordering a Kimberley Kruiser next year for living out of both full time on and off-road. This 100-Series with everything it has to offer just doesn't have the power to pull 6,000lbs of trailer (this 100-Series in full tour mode, with food, water, both tanks full etc. weighs 8,000lbs!) . This will be the first time in over a dozen years where I don't have at least one Toyota in the garage/driveway.

And as bummed as I am about that, @locrwln assures me the LBZ is a very capable tow rig and all-around on/off-road performer in its own right; I'm following his lead!

Please see the attached PDF spreadsheet for all the mods, included features, etc.

Only known issue: The fuel feed from the aux tank stopped last year. I don't have a place to be able to drop the tank and inspect the fuel pump/sender but that's probably what it is.

Happy to answer any & all questions. Located in Reno Nevada. $24,500

GLWS....not really, I hope you can keep it somehow.

Glws too.

I won't hold it against you that you got a LBZ over a Cummins:). Seriously, that is a great truck made for 2 years and pre emission BS. I was looking at them too but went with the megacab.
 
GLWS man!
As a side note, when it does sale, please don't remove the sale price. We can use info like that with our insurance company if a vehicle gets totaled on what the market price is for a very highly modified 100 series.
 
If you have a discriminating eye, you can really appreciate this truck and the work that has gone into it. No shortcuts, not expense spared. If nobody offered the part to his needs and standards, he made it himself. There are a lot of highly modified 100's on mud but this one is not only highly modified but also highly customized. And all the work has been field tested and proven.
 
Cannot believe this is even for sale, this is an icon of a 100 - I've looked up to it as long as I've been on Mud. To echo @hoser pretty sure this was the first off custom set of UCA's out there for a 100.
 
Oh man. Such an iconic 100-series. Every time I've asked how much one of your over-engineered mods costed, you've told me, "if you have to ask..." So I can only assume that this is a great asking price ;) GLWS. I'm sad to see you go, but like me, I'm sure you'll still be on Mud. The other forums just aren't the same.
 
That is a SICK rig, I hope that you stay connected on MUD, I always look for your wisdom on this forum.

And my color buddy is leaving. Bummer.
We will miss your informative posts and pretty truck...I'll be following suit soon as my needs are changing as well. But enjoy fulltime camper living. We have been doing it in a private coach for 7 years now. Hit me up if you have any questions about full timing :)

What roofrack is that?

Its a chopped Front Runner Wind Cheetah. There are three sections to it with the longest (front to back) being the front. The Columbus is supported by three sections. The motivation for chopping: To be able to add the custom folding table that stores just behind the front section.
 
BUMP with new parts added AND LOWERED PRICE.
