Seeing is believing. The first several days I would glimpse sometimes just to make sure it was 900,000 and not 90,000 klm's. The engine is in great shape, it has recently been rebuilt. I could do 100 mph no problem. There are just some minor issued that need to be taken care of. It was owned by an oil company so they must have been some pretty hard 900,000 klm's in the Sahara. When I think about it, it's pretty amazing how it's still holding up strong. On the Toyota catalogue, they refer to this model as the heavy duty version of the 100 series, and it sure shows.
Here are some more pictures. I'm planning on a complete paint job, lift, larger tyres, etc etc. Right now I'm taking care of the basics first, eliminated minor rust, removed roof rack, cleaned and rust proofed floor panel. I may start a thread on my journey with her.
Now THAT is fantastic. Congrats.
At 560K miles, its a good thing they worked for an oil company. Its a diesel of course, but that many miles in petrol/gas costs in the US is US$150k (assumes $3.50/gal @ 13 mpg).
Maybe thats not a good calculation to be making in this thread!?
Rebuilt engine? That doesn't count! Seriously... nice job.
Thinking of selling mine. Any ideas on price or target market?
Interior and exterior photos? I want to see what an all original 361k 100 looks like! Be sure to post odometer pics......
She sure won't win any Land Cruiser beauty pageants, but with 900,000 klm's, she's looking good for her age. I only attached front seat photos. The back seats, moldings, and carpet have been removed for painting the floor panel. Factory vinyl seats and carpeting. This is the no frills package. I think the only luxury item is the a/c. As described in Toyota's catalouge: General Specifications (for use in extreme climatic & physical conditions).
The fuel here, gas or deisel ($0.10/liter) is cheaper than bottled water ($0.35/liter) because of government subsidies. But I think real costs boils down to how much the average salaries are, and what the average salary can buy you. Locals here get paid peanuts compared to the US and the rest of the industrialized world. So a lot of the essential commodities and living expenses are subsidized by the government. Which means if your planning an African Safari stop by and fill up all the fuel and gear you can at the nearest border town. (When the country is safe again of course)

203k, timing belt done at 190k, leaking valve cover gaskets but still pretty healthy
Love it. No green 'D' light showing on your truck either.
Wifeys is young, but still one of the higher mileage cars I've owned in recent memory.
My cruiser is close to 96k...real baby.

...One Landcruiser at a time
Just bought my completely stock '00 LC in Michigan at 232,083 and drove it home to Los Angeles with no worries. It hit 235,000 exiting the I-70 freeway in Dillon, Colorado. Now it has almost 237,000 and the engine sounds new, no oil consumption issues. I knew these are capable of high mileage, but this really feels like it has 100,000 less than it actually does.
Let the mods begin!

I'm always encouraged by ads like these. The miles on these verify that mine has likely got a LOT of life left in it!

I do find it interesting that for LC's with REALLY high mileage..... the interior and exteriors look remarkably clean and undamaged. The driver's side seat bolsters aren't even torn or splitting apart!!!
It says something about the kind of person who achieves those sorts of odometer numbers, and their philosophy about the way they maintain a vehicle (inside and out). Probably owned by airplane mechanics.... those guys tend to be neurotic about keeping cars perfect!
Impressive.

Very interested to see where the one with 456k ends up selling. To still bring $5100 with a day left is wild for any car closing in on half a million miles.
The biggest question: How many OEM clamshell key housings does it take to get to 456k?
