I'm a new convert from the Land Rover crowd that just picked up his first 100 Series. I've been running Land Rover Discovery II's since they were introduced in 1999. I sold my last Rover, a 2000 DII that'd been in the family since new in late August and began the hunt for a Land Cruiser.
Although I've been a Rover guy for a long time, I cut my teeth driving a manual and wheeling with my grandfather in his 1983 FJ 60. Both are gone now, but a lot of fond memories remain of him and his old LC.
Last week my dear wife stumbled across a 2001 LC for sale in Knoxville, TN. I called up the dealer and asked the usual questions and requested the usual pictures. Long story short we came home Saturday with what appears to be a well cared for and nearly rust free 2001 LC with just over 199,000 miles.
She's not perfect but I'm confident I got a good deal on a solid truck. Previous owner had installed 285/75/16 BFG KO2 tires not long before trading it in. I'm looking forward to getting her baselined and make the few needed repairs. Up first will sorting out an O2 sensor fault and leaking sunroof. After that comes heater T's and fluids. Timing belt is due for a change over the winter.
We're looming forward to being part of the community and making lots of new memories in our new old Hundy.
Out with the old and in with the almost as old...
