Been looking for a landcruiser for about a year and a half. Finally made an account about a year ago here after I was well into my search. Learned a lot about the LC's before making my decision. I was all over the place on what year to get depending on the day. Finally decided I just wanted a clean maintained low mileage LC100, year didn't matter, though it would have to be a great deal not to get a 5 speed. Even dabbled with a 200, but couldn't justify the extra $$$, and the body styling of the 100 was preferred. After missing out on a few that met the requirements (lost out to a few people on here I noticed as the LC would show up on here being talked about by a happy new owner). The good ones go fast.
Found me a 2003 with 90k miles with a stack of maintenance records and the 90k service done. It's in great shape and couldn't be happier, though I sometimes have flashbacks to a Commodore 64 with the touchscreen. The only problems I've been having is it's in to good of shape, so my Lab hasn't seen the inside of it, and my wife really likes it, and she wants to drive it.
Anyways, thought I would finally check in since I've been covertly soaking up the Mud knowledge over the years, but had spent more time in the blue room with my FJC.
Though I'd like bigger tires, the ones on it have maybe 2k miles on them so, no plans right now but drive it. Oh, and get Bluetooth for it, leaning towards the BT45-Toy, new floor mats and a backup cam. But that's it, for now. But till then I'm dusting off my CD's I never threw away that are scattered in closets thru the house and remembering how to use a disc changer. Old school rules, I even listened to a cassette that's been sitting in my garage for 15-20 years, and it didn't get eaten.
