Hey guys, looking for a little insight. My 2004 LC now has 290,000 miles and going great. While I am the 5th owner, the previous 4 all services it at Toyota Dealers (have all the records) and it had it’s first known issue: Rack and pinion went out. I’ve put the last 100k on this guy and have decided to keep it so looking to do some functional refreshing. While the guys were replacing the rack I had them check the motor mounts, and was told they look great!
I understand the 100 series was designed to have a working lifespan of 25 years and/or 350,000 miles in dirt . I am expecting to need to start replacing rubber (mounts, seals, whatever) just due to age if nothing else (dry-rotting, use, etc) now that it is 18 years old.
Fortunately rust is not an issue.
Any specific suggestions on things to look at? Exhaust headers are fine at this point (did them on my 01 LX470 when I had it). Looking to do at least another 100k in this one and want to keep it up.
Thanks in advance.
