Do They All Crack Here?

2 out of 4 for me as well. I'm guessing the LX was garaged a bit more before I bought it so the sun hasn't gotten them; yet.

 

[Dwight S]

No cracks on mine. 1998, 230k. Never garaged as long as I've had it.

I've got at least one crack that was there when I bought my '99 LX. I haven't seen any ill effects though.

 

[bctlex]

No crack on my 1998 LC, 211K miles.

Here are pics. I guess I'm surprised this wasn't a recall. Sort of reminds me of all those explorers driving around with the cracked rear lift gate.

 

[2003TLC]

Yep. Some flat black silicon and can't notice anymore.

 

[SmoothLC]

Ditto here. When I bought it over 11 years ago the PS was cracked, and then 7 or 8 years later the DS cracked. So 2 out of 4. Garaged it's whole life too.

Driver side.

1998 here with 185k, and I have a crack on each side. Glad you posted this as I was meaning to ask about it.

2003 w 107k and crack on both sides. Never noticed it before. Just adds character to a vehicle that I love, but don't obsess over.

Front edge of wing window. 3 out of 4 of my wings have similar crack, about 5" down from top.

2001 LandCruiser (137,000 miles) - Cracked on both sides.

Adds personality, I suppose.

Also cracked on both sides, amazing I wash it most weeks and never noticed it....

 

[roadstr6]

'04 here with 105K and crack on driver's side.

 

[darnold87]

'99 with 175K, one frame cracked... I also added the info to the poll mentioned above.

 

[MT Dweller]

Both cracked on mine

 

[ivancook]

'99 and both are cracked in multiple spots.

 

[phippsj]

Both sides cracked on my '05. Never noticed before reading this thread.

Thanks a lot. Not!

 

[El Cid]

No crack. I'm an obsessive about such things, so if anyone wants to discuss replacing that frame or preventative efforts, gimme a call....
