High Mileage Sequoias? Should you avoid? (1 Viewer)

[vjr021]

Been really wanting a Land Cruiser again, but having a hard time finding a rust free example... In my travels I came across this sweet rig...

2006 Limited 4x4 180k miles

I don't know how its lifted, but I had never considered a lifted Sequoia until I saw this...


Carafe is clean, seems to be ok... Figure I will do only 5k miles a year...

What should I be concerned about?

Has anyone here seen this truck before?

I've got an 04 with 200k and I would drive it anywhere. As long as I could verify it has been maintained I wouldn't be scared of it. Timing belt motor, so make sure it has been changed. Rear hatch latch breaks but it's an easy fix. Not much after market add ons for them is the problem.

i have a 2001 with 272K on it now.

Things to look for:
VSC can give a clicking like gears slipping in front. There is an easy fix search VSC CLICKING or VSC reset.
Rear gate latch. Easy fix via two ways all new parts or cut a nut and slide it over he cable to remove slack.
Rear gate window wont go down all the way. Simple remove two bolts, spring and a bracket.
Some PVC'S need an OIL CATCH tank added so oil dose not go into the intake.
Timing belt as regular

After market lift and bumpers can be added. look for Tundra add ons. Talk with Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters he's done a few.
