Christmas came Early! (1 Viewer)

[Kidrock]

Finally, after years of searching for a clean 100 series series I have finally got one.
2002 original owner with 150K on her and all dealer serviced and a perfect Carfax report.

Immediate attention that is needed is
* Timing belt change
* Fluid refresh
* Post inspection to address any other items
If anyone knows a good shop in the Bay Area prefeabbly in the East bay I would appricate you.
I have smiles all day!

Welcome, pics are always great.

I may be wrong here but I just kinda figured Kidrock could've bought the new LX600.

the only new car I could see Kid Rock buying would be if AMC brought back the Gremlin

I had American Bad Ass playing while driving her home.

I was very excited and checked her out mechanicaly and just went through it all. Some areas I will search and easy corrections.
* Antenna not going up or down and top side bent.
* One of the rear bucket seats the fold down has the stap holding the seat up missing so nee dto get one
* Seats in good condtion with no rips but have that brittle look that I need to recondtion

My 4Runner was also just sold. LOL great day for me as I need this.

BayArea guys hook the brother out with a relaible East Bay or City Land Cruiser Specialist so I can get the timing chain down and have a through check or I might just go to the Stealership. I appreciate every in adavnce .

Antenna probably went through one too many automatic car washes. That took two of mine out of commission.

Timing belt. It's gonna cost you one way or the other. Either you buying tools and learning or you paying someone who already bought the tools and learned. No getting around it.

Add heater tees to your 'immediate' list, if they haven't been done. Don't assume they have, and they are so cheap, you truly cannot afford not to just replace them. Many threads here on Mud for this - here's one from the FAQ: DIY: Replacing heater hose pipe T's *important* - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/diy-replacing-heater-hose-pipe-ts-important.610334/

Welcome to the 100 series! It took me over a year to find my 100 (in 2017). My criteria was 1 owner, <100k miles, clean carfax, no nav. After joining mud, I realized I could have taken out the 100k miles criteria and buying parts at the dealer for a 25% discount is still a ripoff (unless you need the part today/tomorrow).

I can see why your criteria was no no Nav. Mine does not work or maybe I dont know whats happeing ( Get the inseretd disc message). Everything else works...climate...audio except Nav. I just registered and looking to get the timing belt done ASAP and I have narrowed it down to 3 shops in the Bay that I have got from all the good folks here on MUD. This rig will never be sold and when I die will be passed to my children. Told the wife that she can drive my Model X since for the next couple months I just want to enjoy this beast.

Mudrak in Sonoma specializes in Land Cruisers

Welcome to the party. Mudrak up North or Valley Hybrids out in Stockton are your two best bets from what I have heard. There are some other non-dealer shops in SF but I haven't tried them myself. I am up North and have had good luck with the Novato Toyota Dealership.
