2006 with VVT-i and 5 speed transmission, plus headers and exhaust upgrades in addition to armor add ons.
Despite the fact I usually flip cars every 2-3 years, I never thought I’d come here to sell this one. I’ve had it for 5 years and that’s the longest I’ve ever owned a vehicle. But for family reasons, I will be selling this one and moving to a different 3 row vehicle for family trips (wife got out of the minivan game a year ago). Prior to this Cruiser I had a ‘96 80 Series for three years. This is not a daily driver for me but I drive 1-3 days a week and on family trips over the last year.
Here are some things I’ve done or had done:
I baselined fluids when purchased 2017.
New timing belt and associated parts 25k miles ago, installed at LC shop
New spark plugs at same time
Doug Thorley headers and Borla cat back installed at LC shop (charged me for a lot of hours for those damn headers) - with the VVTi and Headers/Exhaust it feels almost quick and sounds great
Offset wheels and tires (which have about 27k miles on them) - matching size spare. Great stance IMO
Metal Tech sliders
TJM T17 front bumper
ASFIR front skid plate
Land Cruiser Heaven replacement leather first and second row
Weather tech mats
New speakers
Bluetooth input module for audio and calls
Replaced both camshaft seals and valve cover gaskets, resealed the front of oil pump - all a year ag0
Replaced Front rotors, replaced steering rack, replaced right front C/V axle, fluid replacements - 2 years ago
New alternator this year
New motor mounts half year ago
New fuel pump sending unit 4 years ago
new rear brake pads a month ago
Other smallish repairs over the years
aftermarket subwoofer
have both third row seats installed
Has AHC, works perfectly no issues.
Just drove 1K miles on a couple family trips - I have ZERO concern driving this anywhere, it is rock solid and well maintained mechanically.
I’m the second owner , I have original bill of sale and window sticker. I bought it late 2017 around 192k miles on the odometer. I baby it more mechanically than cosmetically, other than cleaning often, keeping it in climate controlled garage, and upgrading the leather. I’ve thrown stuff in the back without carrying, been careless so little nicks or scrapes, and I think it looks a bit marked up if you are within 10 feet - yet people will see it (when clean anyway, it’s black!) and wonder how it’s a 2006 - they think it looks too nice. Plenty of negatives to point out though, I know many looking for factory condition rigs on IH8MUD:
Cosmetic nicks
Headliner is slight sagged in a couple spots but oddly it’s been the same way for 5 years, no one ever notices and it hasn’t progressed.
A crinkle in front right fender
both front door locks need to be operated manually (I have the motors, haven't installed)
No remote fob, use key to lock/unlock
steering wheel moves up and down but extend/retract motor not working
That’s all I can think of as far as work done and issues for now, can add later if I missed anything. Also don’t have great pictures but will improve later, send requests!
