New 100 Series Owner Intro

[rompin2001]

Hello everyone, figured I stop lurking and introduce myself. Just sold my 2001 XJ and bought a 99 Land Cruiser. Love it so far except a few minor things I have to fix/replace/mod. I've already ordered a whole bunch of parts from Onur, and still have more to order. Deciding whether or not to do a Timing Belt, water pump, thermo, etc. Thread. Seems like the ones in the stickies are pretty thorough. Glad to be apart of a forum that is so knowledgeable in what we love... Land Cruisers.

Here she is. I took the step bars off last weekend. Looks a million times better! Ordered lift and tires yesterday. OME 2.5 Medium from Slee and some Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs 285/75-16.
Will post pics after all is on.

Looking forward to seeing the progress as I am getting close to pulling the trigger on some similar purchases.

What part of AL?

Sweet ride. Looks like you are wasting no time getting her set up.

New tires are here. Still waiting on the lift.

Thanks, I did plenty of research. I really wanted the MTRs w/ Kevlar... I ran them on my XJ (33x12.50x15). But figured these would ride better and last longer.

Nice rig.

What are your plans for it?

Plans are to getting timing belt, water pump, thermostat, etc. handled,waiting to get more parts and FSM should be here tomorrow... Lift, tires should be it for a little while.
I also discovered a large amount of grease on CV boots closest to diff on both sides that I need to take care...
