Between needing a bed and more space for the wife, two kids and the dog, the time has come for me to sell my 2003 Land Cruiser. I hate to admit that it hasn’t been offroad in close to 5 years and it’s been hard knowing how well it is built but not being used. The milage per year has also dropped pretty heavily since just before COVID as my work assignments changed (closer to home) and over the last two years its been more around town duty getting driven a couple times a week.
I have owned it for about 8 years and 130k miles. Purchased it completely stock from Seattle-area in early spring of 2016 and have slowly built it out over the last 8 years. Mechanical/driveline and suspension work handled by professionals and body armor, misc items installed by me. Includes closed to $40k worth of maintenance, repairs, parts, & mechanics receipts from the life of my ownership.
Broad summary of modifications below:
Our 100 has taken us all over the southern and western US with continued trust and reliability no matter the route we’ve taken. We’ve used it through Death Valley, Joshua Tree, multiple mountain passes through southern Colorado and of course long highway drives from one place to the next. I have always taken care of items quickly and correctly and would trust driving her 1,500mi without any hesitation right now.
Some of the general good:
Also included is a homemade drawer set up that has been carpeted and built to match the height of the folded rear seats (has worked well for sleeping on at times). Can include or take out.
Also available for purchase is a Tepui Rugged Autanna 3+ if interested, could maybe work something out if it is included in the purchase.
I will get more photos uploaded over the next couple of days as I get it detailed and cleaned out but if there are any questions in the meantime please let me know or any photos or videos that would be helpful. Trying to be as transparent as I can, this has been a great vehicle for us and we’ve made a lot of great memories with it.
In the meantime below are some photos of her in action over the years.

Some of the general good:
- Seat controls work as they should
- Vent windows work as they should
- Side mirror controls work as they should.
- AC blows very very cold minus the usual “if you are sitting in traffic it warms up a bit”
- Trailer light connector has been relocated.
- Minor frame surface rust, body looks great
- Sunroof works occasionally but doesn’t leak from what I’ve seen
- From the drivers seat window controls the passenger front passenger window will go all the way down or all the way up, can’t stop it in between. Works fine from the passenger seat.
- Someone did try breaking into the drivers side door once and pulled the handle well enough that it has separated from the door. Haven’t taken the time to fix it
- Steering wheel adjustment motors are worn out and it doesn’t like to move.
- Split seam on the drivers seat bottom
- Some dings and pinstriping
- Cracks in windshield – none in drivers sight line and have been there for a long time
- Couple spots of the ceiling liner could be re-glued
