5th owner of the truck lived it’s entire life on the West coast (registration records CA-WA). Bought in 8/22 at 237k miles.

Since then has been a daily driver and weekend vehicle. I would jump in the truck and drive cross county in a heartbeat. Drove to CO last month and back.

Does have a factory rear locker.

Once purchased I replaced the Aisan timing belt, water pump, idlers and cam/crank seals at 237k.
- new radiator
- new diff support and new flanges
-Starter and battery
- new hoses and heater Tees.
-added Dobinson rear springs for RTT and drawers.

In the last year have replaced:
-alternator with 130 amp (replaced stock 90 Amp)
-new coil pack on #8
-rebooted diff side CV on passenger side
- front sway bar links and bushings.
-wheel bearings and inner needle bearing on DS.


In the next month I will be servicing the lower control arm bushings, and doing the valve covers.

Will come with pristine third row seats.

It is a fantastic truck, it doesn’t work for my current commute financially and need to free up a parking space for something that will.

Build thread on the truck is here (I need to update it)

“Steve” 1998 UZJ100: a daily driver with stock needs but overland dreams

It was the combination of a hot summer, periodically driving 100 series at work and desires for a bigger boat that lead to us finding “Steve”. Steve was born in 1998. Grew up in S. California and spent the majority of his life in WA and considers himself a WA Native. Very little surface...

It does have a Factory rear locker. I added that to the listing.

Will post more photos in the next few days.

For now more scenic exterior shots.

I was on the Colorado trip with @NookShneer and ‘Steve’ and this is a great rig. Anytime I’ve been in a convoy with this rig or camping with it, it hasn’t missed a beat. It’s a good, clean rig.
GLWS @NookShneer, sad to see you letting Steve go!

I not sure if you follow my posts or are looking for a 100 series for your dad! But you should mention to him that this is available. I’m sure a fly and drive could be arranged. Thank you for the kind words .

 

[NookShneer]

Under carriage photos could use a clean up from the CO trip.

Front:

Mid:

Rear:

Exhaust is original to the truck to my knowledge and shows its wear at 26 years old.

If leaving the west coast it might need a replacement sooner than later.

It doesn’t leak or is loud. But I do have a rattle that happens at start up 5 seconds then goes away. I’ve always thought it was part of the heat shield but never poked around to try to diagnose.

Working on getting the truck cleaned up today.

Power washed the truck and wiped off the frame and engine compartment. Now it looks more like a west coast truck .

Exterior Shots

Some minor scratches and chips here and there.


Less desirable:

Bumpers show wear. Chips, paint and sun fading. Looks like the front was re-sprayed at some point.

2 small dents in the tailgate.

DS fender was repainted at some point and clear coat is failing on the top edge. Close up of that on the last photo.
