I sold my 2000 Landcruiser back in 2013 with just over 400k miles on it (no pics, sorry). I sometimes wonder if it is still in service, I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
If you watch the video to the end you will learn that the engine was replaced at 414k... too bad the 500k sounded soo good

I am surprised only one radiator replacement. It would be nice to know when it was replaced and if it was with the new design.
Doesn't sound like the starter was replaced !?!
Thanks for sharing the video @christianleeboy

After that many years I wonder what the cost of engine replacement is and if it’s worth it to stay with the Toyota engine or go for something more exotic, like a LS swap.

That would be awesome, plus better alternator location on the LS, you could even swap one out in the field in only minutes. Both 5.7 liters and tick like a sewing machine lol.
Unless you did some work, most of the 5.7L LS motors won't put out the power and torque of the Toyota 5.7L. No way it would be worth the trouble. Now a 6.2L or bigger might get interesting...
I was chatting with someone who was thinking the same thing with a 200. This would top a lot builds. Besides a larger 6.2L motor a solid axle in the front, beefier drive line. Rip out most of the interior. The rugs are gone replaced with a custom rubber floor. 95% of the BS electronics are removed. The top is just chopped off from the driver/passenger area to the back. Sun roof gone replaced with solid. The back would be replaced like a Jeep soft top. Roll bars. 6 speed manual trans geared very low. No AC. Basiclly stripped down to bones.
Very over the top. But a beast for rocks and water will be almost a non issue unless it floats away because the electronics are gone and it weighs nothing. He's going to pull the trigger as soon as he finds the right one at a salvage yard. I was joking with him and told him don't tell anyone about this build. Show up at some LC event and just say "yeah this is the new 300 series. your dealer doesn't have it in stock yet? It's all over youtube. "

I dont think it would take much, a Stock LS6 is a 5.7 with 405hp. It's a totally different power curve and definitely wouldn't want to make peak power at such a higher RPM. Id wager numbers would be over 350-375hp at the wheels with a dyno tune and full exhaust with a standard LS. Add a cam and over 400 at wheels should be easily achievable.
About 440k miles on my 100. I bought it new in 1998. Other than routine maintenance, brakes, tires, batteries, timing belts, water pumps, and 2 starters it needed no repairs to get to that mileage. Still starts and runs like new. I posted a picture of the odometer last year when it was at 435k.

34 oil changes? In 500k miles? No wonder they wore out the engine. I would have expected more like 100-125 oil changes.
I got 450k on my 4runner and runs like a top!
Toyota made in Japan are the best in the world! Period.

Geez...if they only got 414,000 miles out of it then they definitely were NOT servicing it correctly or just flat out skippe don maintenance. And frankly, these manufactureres and dealers are really the ones to blame; anyone who believes their philosophy of oil & filter changes every 10,000 miles, is on track to wear out their engine about 300K+ miles sooner than necessary. At Longo Toyota in El Monte, I've seen well cared for 2UZ-FE equipped Lexus examples with 400K, 600K, and 700,000+ miles on them (all being GX or LX models)Engine replaced at 414k - click bait!
Its its lexus, you can lookup if it had any service history after you sold.
A friend of mine has a Carfax subscription and looks up all his old cars once a year.
