1st year of ownership

[adrenalinefjz80]

I wanted to mention I've put 10k trouble free miles on my 99 during the first year of ownership as it now has 157k. I bought it in Ohio last October. Just this month I relocated down to Nashville, TN from Indy. It's a big difference driving in the downtown city, but I now spend more time in the cruiser for my commute. I love it. Here's it without the roof rack next to a 200. I plan to surpass 200k before I think about the move to a 200, so don't worry.

I love hearing updates on my old rig! I still think it looks better than the 200!

Looking good.

Here in Canada we don't have the 200, just the Lexus 570. I have driven the 570 and own a 99 100 series and prefer the 100 hands down. We bought the 100 with 175k on it and its now at 210k and have no worries about doing another 100k plus.

Good to hear. I purchased mine about a year ago too and have put about 20,000 miles on it. I have nothing but good things to say about Land Cruisers.

Welocme to Nashville!

Today I fixed the land cruiser drivers lean.

Stock measurements from bottom of cap to fender:
Front 21.0" L 21.5" R
Rear 23.5" L 23.5" R

I wanted to get the left/right height even, so I started with 3 turns on the drivers tbar. I needed a hair more, so I ended up with 3.5 turns. After a 25 mile trip, here's how it settled:

Level measurements:
21.5" and 21.5"
23.5" and 23.5"

I decided to max the front lift. I'm at 19.75" from center of hub to fender in the front. The rear is 21.25" stock. I got the lifetime alignment done at Firestone. I requested -0.5 camber, but managed to get close. Interesting enough I gained a 0.5" lift post alignment. You can see that based off the caster adjusted some.

Truck drives great after the alignment and balancing/rotating the tires at discount tire. I'll need to reindex the drivers side to gain any more lift. No plans to do that for awhile as it drives great.
