Do the hutchinsons mount up to the cruisers. I really like these wheels but didn't think they fit.

Yup, the Hutchinson WA-0550 wheels mount up to the 100's, 200's, and Tundra's with the stock hubs. The backspacing is a bit different than the stock wheels and pushes everything out about an inch. Using the wider tires (12.5 / 315's) is the challenge to get them to work at full articulation and turning. Definitely have to go with a full lift (UCA's, body lift) to get this to work.
 
2 Months Ago...

Previous owner went to local auto store and ask them to install wipers right before we purchased the car (I have the receipt). Not sure what these people did, but the generic wiper is stuck tight on driver side. I was pulling really hard but afraid I may bent the wiper arm. I finally cut it up using dremel. New wiper that is quiet when doing its job - I am happy...
 
Installed new OEM radiator, had a hairline crack under the top foam seal.
Did the fender flare delete.
Installed 285/75-16 Goodrich AT K02's.
Replaced the broke rear wind deflector (I know some don't like it but I drive dirty roads and I like my rear window clean).
Plus just driving the thing, getting to know the vehicle.
 
Fixed the infamous broken ignition cylinder that left all on lookers in shock to see a land cruiser on a tow truck and picked up an ARB on board compressor. Trying to figure out where to mount it and wondering if adding the tank is worth it. Any opinions?
 
Now THAT is a damn good looking 100! Great color too! Congrats on the find.

New cruiser/ blank slate as of Saturday after rolling the last one 2 months ago.

That's a beaut! How many miles on it? If you don't mind me asking, how much did she cost you? I try to keep track of these things for my own edification and that looks exceptionally clean!
 
Ripped the rear badges off, used an eraser wheel, which if you have never used is interesting, and it also took clear coat off with the residue from the badges. Decided to sand it a little, then also hit that with bed armor and I like it much better than the lettering, just need to get that last gold sombrero off.

Nice work all around. I've been using that same bed liner on mine. Did your rear hatch have a gold car emblem on the far left side? I had that too, but have never seen another. I think my 100 originally came from Atlanta. Could you post another pic of the bed liner on the rear hatch? Full view if you don't mind? I've been debating doing the same thing but wasn't sure how it'd look...
 
I gotta dump the gold too!! I am looking at Bhicks "TEQ" badges to replace mine.
 
Thanks @btbowie. I'm leaning toward just cleaning up the back as well, I also like what another member did with deleting the Toyota and centering the Land Cruiser badge... I find that bed liner to be good stuff. I did my grill and the valance below it, planning on doing the side moldings when the weather is good again.
 
Over the holidays, my son's LC received a few upgrades.

(Still lots of work left to do)
 
New Yokohama's on the rear to match the 2 new tires on the front supplied by the dealer.
Weathertech mats for the front.
Came with only a single key with non-functioning fob. Bought a replacement on e-bay, programmed the fob and had a local locksmith cut the key and picked up another plain key while at the locksmith.

tbuck, did the plain key without electronic fob work? dealer is telling me that the key is "chipped" and if it's not programmed, a plain key won't work. just wondering if this is b.s. thanks
