Thanks for the warm welcome gents!
Well, I'm a motorcyclist, hunter and computer geek. Web dev and SEO work is what I mostly do by trade. I still dirt bike occasionally (crf450x) but now that me and the wife have 2 little ones overlanding and 4x4 adventures are taking priority as it's much more family friendly.
The 100 isn't our first 4x4 or Toyota for that matter. I'm a transplant from a 3rd gen 4runner that I built up nicely but with wife, 2 kids, dog and gear room ran out quick. Here she is the day I sold her : (.
Onto the 100! Always wanted an LC and used 200's were just out of reach so we 'settled' on finding a 2003+ 100. We finally ended up pulling the trigger on this beauty that was a one owner AZ vehicle it's whole life. 2004 with 224k on it...probably overpaid a bit but it having full dealer service sealed the deal.
I'll probably start a little build thread in the 100 tech section but basically I threw new oem shocks on, did the torsion lift and ome 865's for a total 1" lift.
@LandCruiserPhil 's mudflap delete and @reevesci recover mounts to were installed as well. 5 275/70r18 ko2's along with fresh alignment with all the normal baselining goodies you do to a used vehicle.
Pic above is it's maiden voyage to box canyon over by Florence. Next up is CB setup, sliders and full skids. I hope to be able to start coming to some of the Phoenix meetings and future trail runs!
