I'm looking to purchase a Black 98 or 99 LC with the center and rear locking diffs. Budget is flexible depending on miles and condition. Bonus if it has the gold emblems/name, preference to 99s with rear air. LOOKING FOR ANYWHERE IN THE USA!!!

2. No rust
3. 98-99 (for rear diff locker)
4. No water leaks
5. NO LX PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
6. Looking to spend 8-10K TOPS. Don't come at me with your 15-20K trucks. I'm glad you invested so much in it but I want a basic, clean LC.

I found a 99 locked LC in northern VA with surface rust last year. You can do it. I brought it to PA to destroy it with road salt though.

lolol

Krown oil spray before and after winter, wax and car wash. Old man winter ain’t that tough

I have a black '98, gold lettering, double locked with 140k miles and clean Carfax in Bethlehem PA. It's a little physically beat up and has maaco paint job and minimal frame rust though.
Plus side is I've done a ton of maintenance lately with all Toyota parts (front brakes/MC, timing belt, radiator etc.)
That and I'll let it go cheap because I just got a new Tacoma.
Like I said, she's a little rough but a hell of a deal and mechanically strong.

Does riverrock green count as grey?

Pm me offers/location

Bump still looking. Max I’m willing to spend is $10000 for a really nice lower mileage example. Prefer unmodified examples

Bump. Still looking to purchase.

Keep religiously checking CL. There was a black 99 with rear locker 200k and only surface rust in NoVa last week. Sold for $5k in a couple hours.

I tried to get in contact with that guy. Called him within an hour of the posting being listed and it was already gone.

Bump still looking. Members please respect my budget I’m not spending $14K-17K on your 22 year old SUV sorry.

You gotta realize that the market for clean 100 series hasn't come down in the year since you posted. If anything, it's gone up.

If you're not searching multiple times a day, then that unicorn 100 (llow mile, no rust, well maintained, low price) is unlikely to fall into your lap. I bet there are at least a couple hundred dudes across the country looking for what you describe. And many of them are flippers who have nothing else to do all day.

I don’t think 8-10000$ is a low price for a 22 year old LC. I’m not asking for perfect condition I’m just asking rust free with lockers and black paint.

Ace speaks with knowledge. I was very fortunate to have a Super clean, well maintained built ,yet never off road 100 -fall in my lap. I took that for granted untill I searched,studied And seen what’s available. Nothing like a Clean well maintained Built 100. Most likely the owner knows what it is and wants the $ for it. Even if it’s 20years old
