165,000 on the new to me 04 lx. Bought in February with 159k. Hope for many more
I have 203k on my '99 100. No real off-roading history. Just took it over from my wife and put in EMU 3.5" lift with icon shocks. Required new control arms etc etc. because of worn bushings etc etc. Issues that I have dealt with include (1) $2.5k replacement of antilock braking system module. The ABS broke and supposedly spewed hot liquid on the chip, or so they say. (2) the infernal Toyota antenna motor broke. I replaced it and the new one is not working 3 years later. :-/ (3) rust on the upper rear tailgate near the window. I replaced it- thx ebay. (4) recently the horn goes off in the rain- replaced horn unit and connecting wires which eventually broke- still goes off in rain. (5) electric locks sometime lock the car with the keys in it. (6) wet passenger side carpet even when AC not used like during winter (just tested sunroof drains which work great. Windshield was replaced, but I dont see any leak.). Maybe OEM roof rack leaking? I dont know. (6) just replaced the starter. (7) replaced the exhaust & muffler recently. (8) bought used front seats because my bulldog ate the passenger seat- thx eBay. (9) replaced cracked tail light housing. (10) repaired some rust around the front windshield. (11) bought 18" Fuel Beast wheels, which did not fit despite the manufacturer saying they did. They nicely gave me 3/4" spacers. (12) bought 35" General AT2 to go with new wheels, and they run nicely enough so far despite warnings that they were POS. Look good enough for ATs. (13) replacing the O2 sensor this week. Someone told me that the unfixed horn problem may be related to a wet/faulty ECU-- any ideas? In any case, I want to fix these items since I am investing in suspension, snorkel, bumpers, roof rack.

I heard as much--check the fluid-- if there are not a lot of metal fragments in the fluid (from tranny wearing out), let it be. If there are then change it. If tranny fluid is not replaced properly it can be a huuuuge problem resulting the purchase of a new tranny. This is all of course imho.
poor coolant was how my 1986 Jeep Cherokee head gasket warped at around 100k. My coolant reservoir froze and cracked leaking all the coolant in VT one winter while I was inside at the bar.
gonna need a new windshield.
That's a lot of twos
hi. iv got a land cruiser 75 series 1hz and it has no pulling and speed doesnt go more 100kmph. i knew my engine was opend a few times and it needed a rebuild so i decided to buy a almost new 1hz engine for a toyota land cruiser 79 series. after i changed my engine the problem was still there. i changed my nozzles and serviced my injector pump fully. any idea what can be the problem?
I would suggest going to the 70-series section of IH8MUD. You're unlikely to find an answer for a 70 series diesel Land Cruiser on a high-mileage thread for a 100 series gasoline Land Cruiser.
just updated my sig. 240k. I should be at a quarter million this time next year.
I have newer cars to drive, but always prefer driving my 16 year old LC daily.

99 lx with 206k
Yesterday...
Several pics above show a lighted D light. Hah. I believe all high mileage pics should have a failed D light as a prerequisite!
270k tonight on my '99. And my D light has been out for at least five years.

I recently replace the "P" light on mine cause it went out, but I left the "D" out cause it's annoying.
