My Family Adventure Rig - A 2001 Land Cruiser Build

[JHolo]

About a month ago I purchased a 2001 Land Cruiser from @Dilspec and the transaction was awesome. Definitely a solid dude.

A lot of previously maintenance has been done on the truck and I plan to continue on base lining it before doing any other significant mods. It currently sits just under 325k and runs great.

My purpose for the vehicle is to explore with the family and we will probably tow around an Aliner with us.

My first order of business was to purchase seat covers until I got around to swapping out the seat leathers. These are just cheap covers from amazon but work pretty well in the interim.

I also 3D printed a large cupholder to replace the stock unit. I’ll have to get pics of it installed. I printed it in Black ASA.

The truck had some terrible LED headlight bulbs in the stock housings so I swapped them out for some Philips 9012/9011 bulbs.

Welcome!

Those seat covers don’t look bad at all! Do you have a link you could share?

Nice rig. I bought my first Cruiser last summer, also a 2001. 134,000 miles. I found a good source for reasonably priced leather for the seats, I'll come back to post that link once I find it.

I purchased these ones.

They are a tad loose on the top of the back of the seat upper. Just FYI.

Every November we head to Cook Forest State Park in PA and rent a cabin. With a kiddo now we needed a bit more space so we rented a farm house in Summerville, PA. We packed up the 100 and got to explore a lot of the forest roads in Clear Creek State Forest while down there.

With the Black Friday Toyota sales I decided to preemptively purchase the brake booster master assembly since the truck had over 323k on it. It took about 5 hours slowly working on it but managed to get it replaced.

The old

That new part goodness

We had planned on taking the 100 down to Alexandria, VA to visit my wife’s family but due to the power steering leaking we chose to load up her RAV instead. Thankfully I was able to order a new OEM rack, pump, reservoir, and rod ends from Serra Toyota with the current sale and ordered a Sunsong high pressure line set from RockAuto. I plan on refreshing the steering once those parts arrive.
