Am I missing anything big? I bought a 2000 LC with 180k miles on it. I have lots of records from the 2nd owner and nothing from the first. 2nd owner had it for 11 years and only put 80k miles on it. Here's what I have after going through all of the records:

178k - New brake pads front and rear and machined rotors

173k - New front bearings and seals, replaced rear shocks and struts

167k - Replaced ignition coil

160k - New battery, looks like wiring was replaced for horn, SRS light and cruise control

157k - Replaced another ignition coil

156k - New rack and pinion, replaced driver's side exhaust manifold, power steering flush, new fuel filter, new hood struts, transmission drain and fill, front and rear diff fluid replaced, drain and refill transfer case, replaced spark plugs, throttle body service, new belt and belt tensioner assembly, Left front axle seal, repacked front wheel bearing (This was quite the bill at the dealership - paid $5k total!)

153k - Left front axle seal and serpentine belt (Not sure why this was done again 3k miles later - maybe they did a crap job)

140k - Replaced front CV axles and boots and timing belt done at the dealership.

I had a Land Cruiser mechanic give it a prepurchase inspection and he gave it the green light. Nothing that needs fixing right now. Is there anything glaring that you see missing? I was thinking about checking out my radiator hoses and fittings to see if they need replacing.
 
Timing belt is usually replaced every 90k miles or so. I am sure yours was done once, but it might be due again.(I did not see it listed in your post)
Enjoy your 100, I just got one as well.
 
Have you put the VIN in Log into Your Toyota Owners Account | Toyota Owners to see if you could more records?

Replace heater T's and look over the suspension bushings/links and replace if needed.

Left front axle seal was replaced at 153k, 156k, and 176k? 156k due to repacking the bearings, as you have to pull the seal to get to the bearings. Replacing the bearings at 176k triggered another seal. Seal is only $15.

Thanks for your help. Created an account and nothing new there. The first thing I am doing is changing the oil. Not sure when it was done last. They kept great service records other than oil changes. I'd assume if you were willing to pay $5k for repairs, you'd be doing regular oil changes. I'll be using Mobil 1 high mileage full synthetic and a OEM filter. Also got an antenna mast in and will try fixing that too.
