Any particular reason the hood on my 03 100 has an Araco sticker?

ARACO is the company that Toyota outsourced manufacture of Land Cruisers and LX450/LX470/LX570's.

They were built at the ARACO and, now, Toyota Auto Body Yoshiwara Plant in Toyota City.

It has since been combined with Toyota Auto Body.

This occurred in 2004.

Most of us North American LC owners will have a blue and white ARACO sticker on the front passenger side bottom of the door on the inside.

Other markets got cruisers built elsewhere (Land Cruiser production has long since become globalized by region and sometimes nation).

Of course, we all like the formerly-known-as ARACO built...

Speaking of Araco stickers, there are quite a few 80 Series owners in Japan who sport large "Araco" stickers on their 3rd-row/cargo windows, lol.
