Wanted to start by saying this is a great forum, it helped me with researching/purchasing and now maintaining and improving my 1998 LX470. I looked for several months with no luck. My goal was to get a 100 series, make the initial mods, and do it for less $ than I will get for my built 07 Jeep JK. My budget put me in the 150-200k mile range, so I wanted to make sure the major maintenance items were done. A buddy of mine gave me a lead on a pristine LX in Mississippi. So I went to take a look.
A Land Cruiser was quite a change for me, I have always been a Jeep guy. I have been able to drive for 22 years, and I have owned a Jeep for 16 of those years. My current DD is a 07 Jeep JK that is nicely built, previously I had a TJ based buggy that I raced King of the Hammers with twice. My current Jeep had one small problem, not enough seats. My wife and I have three kids and we have one more due any day now. I needed more seats, and the Land Cruiser peaked my interest.
