Uzj100 Restoration Project

[CCuzj100]

Whats up fellow Toyota LC owners! Love this forum as it helped me with restoring my UZJ100 2000 Toyota Landcruiser that I just recently purchased with 158k miles on it.

First off, replaced ALL fluids:

1) Transmission Fluid with OEM ATF fluid from Toyota
2) Front and Rear Diff Oil to Mobil 1 75 90 syn gear oil
3) Oil change with Mobil1 HM syn 5w 30
4) Tranfser case fluid with same Mobil1 75 90 syn gear oil
5) Replaced Brake pads and resurfaced rotors with OEM pads from Toyota
6) Replaced serpentine drive belt
7) Lubricated drive axles and re torqued all drive shaft/axle bolts
8) Replaced air filter and cabin air filter
9) Replaced all 4 front inner and outer Tie Rods from Toyota ($580 parts only)
10) PCV valve from Toyota
11) All 4 shocks ($240 parts only)
12) Power steering fluid and brake fluid top off
13) Weathertech rubber floormats and Laser lined fitted rear cargo liner
14) Eagle 1 Fog Lights from Amazon
15) Set of 285/70/16 BF Goodrich TK02 Tires
16) Billet Aluminum Rear Trunk lid handle
17) Replaced my 74 Gauge Cluster lights to Vleds 74 LED lights

This tank is running like new and Im VERY happy with all of my upgrades, the only things left on the bucket list are:

1) 2 new CV Axles/Shafts/Boots
2) Full Interior Detail
3) Full interior Dark Burl Wood trim set
4) New wheel bearings on all 4 wheels as I feel this is one of the most overlooked maintenance upgrades
5) Ball joints and front suspension bushings

If anyone has any advice on the remaining things to do would be greatly appreciated

Nice!!!!

Thanks! I forgot to give a special shoutout to anthonycds for the tip on the Vleds 64 LED Gauge cluster light replacement post!! By far one of the cheapest and best investments on the entire list so far.

Oops I meant VLed 74 LED lights

Where did you find a cabin filter on a 2000?

 

[CCuzj100]

Sorry for the confusion! theres technically not a formal "air cabin filter" but I had an interior detail technician clean out my cabin vents with his high air pressure hose and the amt of dust and dirt that blew out was crazy.

16 years if build up gone

I was wondering if you could show a pic/location of the places that were cleaned. I have a 2000 and have never cleaned.

It is a common mod if you don't have the filters. Evap and filters are behind the glove box. See Cabin Air Filter Conversion - LC100 to LX470.

Pull the lid and blow out the debris w/ compressed air.
