Hello all, I have been contemplating this sale for a long time and have finally come to grips with my 100 not being in the garage. We have owned the truck for nearly four years and about 20k miles. My family and I have been on many adventures and created a ton of memories in this rig and it will be missed. I have built this truck from stock to where it sits today, as one of the most capable 100 series Cruisers out there (short of a SAS).

I wrestled a long time with what to ask, and landed at $24K. I have a ton of time and money in how she sits today, and hope someone else will see the value in what I have put together in this truck. The reason I am selling is to make room in the garage for a low and fast car that likely arrives in January. I will be putting a very mild build on my LX570 to be the new camping/"wheeling" rig, so for those of you who have been on trails I've led, or with whom i have been on wheeling/camping adventures, I'll still be around, just not doing the difficult technical trails this truck was built to conquer.

I will try to get everything listed here, and will provide updates if I miss anything:

Here's all the good stuff:
- 2004 Thundercloud Metallic, 188K miles
- 2.5" Slee OME heavy lift kit with SPC UCAs, Slee diff drop, OME T-bars and 864 springs in the rear
- Front and rear ARB air lockers with ARB mini compressor mounted to SLEE 2nd battery tray
- Dissent modular front bumper with LED fogs, bull bar and bull bar delete plates included (right now i am running it without the bull bar)
- Slee rear bumper with ladder, tires mount swing outs and jerry can basket
- I will include two red plastic Spectre jerry cans (the real widemouth non-vented ones, not the Costco version)
- Slee sliders
- Gamiviti custom rack with 42" curved light bar and custom faring mount
- Set of 5 Rock Warrior wheels with bead rings powder coated black
- Set of five 285/75/17 BFG KM2s (34") with about 8K miles on them
- Warn Zeon 10-S winch with synthetic line and Factor55 Flatlink
- Spidertrax 1.25" spacers
- Bump it Offroad front, center and rear skid plates
- KISS rear drawer system
- Vector Offroad Exo-rack (rear tire gear mounting bracket) EXO Rack
- Auxbeam 42" LED light bar and 9" LED round driving lights (ARB knock off)
- Black Depo 1-piece headlights
- BT35 module allowing Bluetooth music streaming
- Ram No-Drill Seat Mount with X-Grip iPad holder
- TRED 1100 Recovery Boards included
- PFRAN LED interior and backup lights
- 60" Hi-Lift Jack and Base included
- Leather is in great shape all around with little if any wear showing (but for wrinkles)
- Front grill plasti-dipped in flat black
- Three sets of floor mats: Original Toyota, custom and Huskyliner
- Third row seats included
- Partial set of Cover King seat covers included if you want them. I found them to be hot and uncomfortable.
- With a full price offer i will include three extra matching tires: two brand new KM2s and one near new KM2 with a plug repair.

Major maintenance items:
- New front wheel bearings @ 171K miles by SLEE
- New interstate Group 27 battery 12/2015 @173K miles
- New genuine Toyota CVs and flanges @ 175K Miles (the original Toyota CVs will come with the vehicle as trail spares) by SLEE
- Full maintenance baseline at SLEE 4/16/16 @ 175K miles including timing belt (idler and tension bearings also replaced), water pump, fuel filter, all fluids (diff, t-case, tranny, radiator, etc), plugs heater Ts, etc.
- New Toyota brake pads front and rear @ 181K miles by Toy Shop
- Front and rear diff fluid @ 185K miles in May by me
- Stickers and bobble-head dog included at no extra cost :)

Things to note in the not so great column:
- the sunroof has been disabled; I guess the cables are a weak point in the assembly and can get stretched over time causing a failure in the sunroof; the quote I received to get it fixed was $2600, so I just closed it disconnected the switch.
- The front fender liners are a little chewed up from when I first got the bigger tires and had not yet trimmed; there is still a slight rub when running full speed and full front suspension compression occurs.
- I repaired some damage to the rear driver side speed sensor, but the light still comes on every once in a while when cycling lockers off and on. ATRAC and lockers are all fully functional, no issues.
- front driver speaker needs replacement; I just haven't had time to do it; i replaced the rear woofer about three years ago.
- love dent in passenger front fender from a hi-lift incident
- The front skid plate squeaks when dusty. I just live with it...haven't found a solution.
- general pin striping and scrapes on the armor from wheeling. I try to keep the steel covered with rustoleum paint whenever I get home from a wheeling trip.
- Driver side window tint peeled down toward the bottom and has some nicks in it from the PO's dog. It was never really an issue for me that needed to be dealt with.

The only things that I can think could be added from here are remote reservoir suspension, rear wiring, 2nd battery and aux gas or water. Everything else is done on this rig.

Additional wheeling pics can be seen on my IG account @scottmakee. And if you have any questions please send me a PM or email at smakee @ gmail.com

And that doesn’t disappoint at all!

Well done - maybe I can entice you with an air cooled canyon run...

Just dropped it off at Slee for a final checkup. She’s getting a 5k service, new latest generation SPC ball joints, new steering rack and bushings, and fresh alignment for the next owner.
 
Scott's a super nice guy, we met @ cruisemoab earlier this year, rode a few trails with him and was envious of the ease this truck made it up stuff. Most oo it was Scott I'm sure, but the truck is capable!

Carfax attached. One accident reported back in 2011 to front left. No airbag deployment and I never saw any evidence of damage as I took the front end apart to install the headlights, front bumper and paint the grill. I have all the service records from my ownership.

Solid rig and solid seller...as so many others have stated! The new owner will not be disappointed! Buy with confidence!
 
Thanks again, all. Such a great community of folks, and so many connections and friendships I have made as a result of being out there on the trail.

Forgot to mention I do have the third row seats, which are near prefect, if somebody decides they want to remove the rear drawers. pretty simple process.
 
Back from Slee...New steering rack and ball joints made a huge difference in how it drives. Steering is tight and truck tracks perfectly. Ready for a new home.

Adding receipts below of major services.

Pic requested of added light switches and locker dial. “Driving lights” are the front 9” round lights and the “LED Light Bar” is the roof mounted bar. Also, the fogs in the front bumper are wired to the stock fog switch. Classic LC locker dial.

Somebody buy this thing. If you pay for the recent maintenance and a few accessories.... the truck itself is FREE!!!
 
Another comment from yet another person who knows Scott and can vouch for him and this awesome rig!
 
That's a well built, turn the key and go around the world 100 right there.

Best of luck with the sale. Next owner will be well served by that rig.
 
Thanks guys...

How's Montana treating you, Drew? You missing that trailer?

Wait did you wire ARBs to the stock locker switch from an 80? Genius and so clean! I’m on the hunt for a 100 to purchase in the next year or two and you’re so close, but I hope for your sake it’s gone by then.
 
Why wait for next year? She’s right here waiting for you! :D

I would love to! However currently sinking all our money into an addition on the back of our house. Financial responsibility is a real bummer sometimes!

Good luck with sale, Scott. Great rig...from someone who has eaten its dust!
