Specs:
UZ100 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser built by ARCO in Japan.
They say the ARCO built LC's are better built.


Engine 4.7L 2UZFE DHC
186K miles


Options:
Power windows/locks/sunroof/cruise control/power heated mirrors/CD tape/A/C/both seats with lumbar/tilt/ABS/traction control/rear wiper/heated seats/roof rack/tow hitch/3rd row seating.

4X4 HI/LOW range with rear locking DIFF and center DIFF lock.
Stock ride hight, so no lift kit.
The DIF LOCK MOD, On this LC... the rear locking DIFF also works in High range, but from the factory it only supposed to work in the LOW range.

Serves/new parts:
All fluids were changed around (all synthetic fluids) 20 miles ago The radiator/front DIFF/rear DIFF/transfer case/engine oil/brake fluid/power steering fluid/air filter/fuel filter, and fuel injector flush. The a/c system has had a full service with a new evaporator/expansion valve/absorbent sock/filter kit.

The timing belt was inspected and passed the visual feel test a tech and myself. So, no cracking or fraying.

The timing belt was serviced around 125K miles,
I will include with the sale of this LC a new fan bracket/belt ten/idler pulley/harmonic balancer, and full timing belt (timing belt/water pump/crank seal/cam seals/gaskets/hydraulic tensioner/idler bearing etc) service kit.

The starter has been reconditioned with new contacts sealed up water tight, and higher cranking amps. This was not needed but very hard to service off road.

Comes with an extra ECU/master key-fob. This is a sore issue with this 1998/99's as if the master key-fob was lost one had pay $1200 for a new ECU and a master key at the dealer. This nice to have item.

New tires (with alignment) with armor in side wall and in the treads/new lower/and upper ball joints/new polyurethane compound power steering rack bushings with, new front CV drive axles that will handle 1000 horse power with polyurethane compound boots.

All the front and rear sway bar bushings have been replaced.


The Body:
I have gently used this LC as it was designed, so the body has some minor off road bumps particularly the front/rear bumper covers and the front right fender from some trail runs, and there are small scratches from some small tree limbs and shrubs.



The interior:
The seats are aged, but no rips. All the dash gauges work, no scratches on the gauge bezel, all four door panels have been reconditioned to look new....With new speaker grill fabric cover. Even all the aux power outlets and flip-out cup holders are complete in working order.
The windshield is tinted and (aftermarket) has a crack on the drivers side from the top to the bottom. This might be bothersome for some.
A very good spare (with cable lock) tire, jack, and tool kit are complete.
All power options work including the ice cold a/c on a 105 degree day here in Mexico.


The bad, the steering rack seeps power steering fluid and a very small oil leak from the front oil pan area. When checking the motor oil and power steering fluid their have been no noticeable loss of fluid that I can see.

My LC is in great solid running/driving condition. Drives very smooth almost like when it was new, even with the more aggressive tires.

Asking $9000
Again: I will include with the sale of this LC a new parts such as fan bracket/belt ten/idler pulley/harmonic balancer, and full timing belt (timing belt/water pump/crank seal/cam seals/gaskets/hydraulic tensioner/idler bearing etc) service kit.

This LC is located in Puerto Vallarta Mexico with U.S.A Texas plates.

One more thing.

When I purchased this LC here in MX I was not too concerned with the carfax history as these LC are very very rare here, plus I did check for any previous frame/core support/flood damage and found nothing. A friend back in the U.S. did a carfax for history for me and found nothing alarming just previous owners.

I blacked out the front grill/wheels, and rear emblems, replaced the (D) and cruise control indicator bulbs, installed rain guards on windows, 7th pin mod on the 4wd control ecu to activate the rear diff lock in 4wd high, installed a switch to turn on/off the day time running lights.

Forgot to mention that the power mirrors then selves are in working order but do not work with the factory switch for some reason. I have replaced the switch with a new one and still they do not work. So I carefully have taken out the wiring harness and found nothing that would cause the mirrors not to work.

I have new wires going to each connectors on mirrors to a set of switches to operate them.

Everything else works, and with the factory switches from the a/c to rear wiper.
 
Correction:

Thought I was going to get the power mirrors working this weekend and assumed it was going to work as planed. I myself and three others cannot get the mirrors to work with the new switches.

The power mirrors are not going to be in working order.
