I had a 100 years ago (2000 LC) which was great. Now I’m looking to get back into one.
My usage would be a daily driver 90% of the time (usually 5-6k miles per year). Then family camp trips, which would typically be fine in a stock rig with minor mods like roof rack and rear storage.
But a few times a year, I like to head to Moab and my favorite place, SW Colorado.
The trails I go on aren’t hardcore (and I have a Jeep for hard trails) and they can be done stock. But I’d prefer a lift and at least 33’s to do them comfortably with minimal spotting.
So, I first thought a 2nd gen Sequoia would do the job. But it won’t fit well in my garage.
Something like a GX would do great but it won’t fit my family.
So a 100 would be a happy medium, I think.
I’ve been looking at LC/LX in 2003-2007 model years.
I’ve found a couple I am test driving this week.
One is an 04 without AHC (LC)
One is an 06 with AHC (LX)
Both are around 190k miles.
I know the typical checklist of things to look for. But given everything is up to date, I’m contemplating whether I should get the non-AHC then do a lift or if AHC would be more beneficial in my case.
If any of you are in similar situation, I’d love some input. Thanks.
