$3k without Slee step sliders
$3500 with the sliders

I picked this up last year with some plans to make it my daily driver. I have so many other projects I hate to see it sit. I bought it from the original owner, well from the shop he always took it to. I have the original title from 1999 ($45k taxable value!). Apparently every time he brought it to the shop for brakes, oil changes, etc, they told him to change the timing belt, and every time he said he "called Toyota and they said you don't need to change it". Yeah, right. Anyway, the timing belt finally went and he sold it to the shop for $200! Yes...$200. I paid a lot more than that, but man...$200! And it has a locker! So it does have over $300k miles, but it looks like all highway miles, the interior is actually in better shape than my 2000 LC...heck the outside is in better shape, too! No "Colorado Pinstriping", I would guess it has never seen dirt.

I was going to at least swap the rear locker over to my 100, but I don't know when or if I will have time for that.

I did see a 2UZ on MUD for around $1200, and you know Robbie (Powderpig) is just up the road in Boulder, and I can't think of anyone else I would take this to for a motor swap.

Trades considered, especially FJ55 and FJ40 parts or trucks!

I will take pics today, but it is Maroon and it also has brand new Pirelli highway tires on it as well.

Bought the Sliders from a local guy who barely used them. They are not on the truck.

Thanks all! Will take pics later today and post them up.

Sorry, been a crazy week. Here are some crappy pics. Can move it this weekend to take more.

interior is dirty but cleans up nice. I will get it detailed soon. Exterior looks good, no dents or major scratches, again needs cleaned up. He had duct tape holding the right front turn signal on? But it looks fine now.

aprox. mileage?

I thought 2UZ's were non-interference engines? guess not.
 
300k

I confirmed with Robbie. He has not looked at it but agrees that is probably what happened.
 
sending a PM
 
getting closer to a part out situation. I might try CL first. And will sell the sliders separately, but not for $500, that is the package deal. :)

PM'ing an offer
 
Put it on CL. Not selling for less than it is worth. Can store it for free so don't have to sell. Thanks all.
 
Hey Tim,

You still have this beautiful looking 100?

I'm tossing around some funny ideas in my head. I just banged up my '98 100 series pretty bad (it's totalled); however, it still runs just fine. So as you'd imagine I'm in the market for a (new to me) 100.

Unfortunately, I'm out in SoCal. You mentioned above you know someone that can swap a motor? Any ideas what he charges to swap a motor?

Cheers,

-Tim
 
I do have it. Had a guy look at it over the weekend who is a professional 'flipper'. It was a little too much work for him to return it to stock mint condition. BUT we got to talking and neither of us are convinced the timing belt actually broke, and if it did, it damaged the engine. We are gonna check compression and a couple of other things this weekend, so it might run?

3 other guys flaked out on me. GRRRR craigslist...

Damn, you ok? Have heard from a few MD guys that they have totaled their rigs recently! I was talking about Robbie (powderpig), but he would probably be 2-3 months out before he could work on it?

Anyway, email or call if you want to chat about it

thanks!
 
Sweet,

Fortunately, the three of us walked away without even a scratch (hit some ice in a turn). Flipped her up onto her side. Somehow didn't hit anyone else.

Thanks!
 
did you ever figure anything out on the engine?

I charged the battery and it turns over and tries to start, seems like it is not getting fuel. Anyway, even at full price, he got a bargain!!
