Since I’ve decided that I’m going to build out my 3500 for a Baja rig and the LC has been relegated to commuter duties, I’d prefer to have a 100/470 or 4Runner instead. If you have one of those that I might be interested in let’s talk. Or cash sale and I’ll find my own.
I picked it up from a seller In Kalispell MT several years ago. LC had been imported into BC, and then the US. PO had completed a good baseline, and a few of the upgrades to the LC.

- New Paint (I’d consider it a 20’ paint job,) it’s by no means a factory spray and you can see defects if you look closely at it, i.e. small runs & bubbles. He also spraylined a lot of the trim which has been dulled by UV’s.
- I think he had the whole undercarriage cleaned and sprayed, and from the pics you can see what kind of shape that it is in.
- BEB’s were done.
- Birf’s were rebuilt.
- He had installed the roof rack, front bumper, OMU springs/shocks (not sure what level), and the wheels and tires.
- He installed a new radiator.
- Apple CarPlay head unit.
- LED interior lighting.
- 4x4 Labs rear bumper w/ladder and tire carrier.
- Matching spare.
- White Knuckle Off Road Sliders.
- Smittybuilt 10K (I think) winch.
- Donbinson’s rear drawers w/fridge slider.
- Replaced or repaired missing trim pieces.
- Dash cover.
- New AGM batteries.
- A/C doesn’t have a charge. Compressor is good, but no cold air. Never an issue w/me in Salmon ID. That means that the console fridge/ice maker doesn’t as well.
- Rear window sprayed and defroster were not connected back up after the paint job and the hose to the rear sprayed is down in the rear quarter panel and a PITA to get to to try and reconnect.
- Compass will never points you in the right direction. Luckily the head unit displays the apple map when connected, so I haven’t gotten lost due the poor direction! I’ve tried to recalibrate it but just can’t seem to get the gyros to listen to me.
- The passenger side lock doesn’t want to work w/the key and the rear hatch is finicky. All the electric locks do work though. Only have one key.
- Windows can be slow in the cold.
- Paint is screwed up on the hood. I stayed at an RV park for a summer and left it parked in the nice shade while I went on a river trip for a week. Well in that time the cottonwoods dropped all of their insanely sticky leaf ends all over everything I had! You can see the lighter spots in the pictures. A paint guy may be able to polish them out, but I never dealt with it. I do have a matte black center hood vinyl cover for it that covers mostly all of the hood.
- She’s smoky at startup and idling. I don’t think it’s the injectors, I think that it’s the crankcase vent putting oil into the turbo. I have a catch can system to install for it but need a sheet metal fabricator to make a mounting bracket for it.
- Trans gets hot if you push it on steep mountain passes. First time I crossed into MT over the pass I was running her a little hard and the idiot light came on. I didn’t overheat the trans, fluid is still bright red (gotta love Toyota’s.) IH8Mud forums say that HDJ’s were notorious for this as they weren’t spec’d w/tranny coolers like NA vehicles. I have a really oversized cooler for install, but once again need a fabricator to build a proper bracket cause I won’t simply install it through the radiator. Or a FJ80 cooler will bolt right up........which is what I should have done in hindsight, but I wanted the max cooling.
- Title is branded. Previous owner left out that little detail until I had made all the arrangements to inspect/pickup. I believe he hit a deer, (I think that’s when he started modifying it.) I think it was a left front hit, but I can’t find any indication of damage. Radiator support is straight, inner fender looks fine, about all I see is two of the plastic battery brackets are broken.
- Rear bumper is starting to show some rust, their powder coating isn’t the best and has flaked off in a couple of places.
- The starter is rebuilt and I have a brand new spare 12/24VDC OEM combining relay. The starter contacts stuck on me one day and I furiously pulled the relay wires off to stop it from grinding. I rebuilt the starter w/factory parts and then troubleshot the LC wiring for a couple of months because it would NOT start! After wringing out damn near every wire in the harness and replace several unnecessary components, I found out that I put ONE wire on incorrectly on the combining relay and a 12VDC wire wasn’t sending the signal to the starter system to start w/the key. I guess that not really a con......
