    Should I build my 3rd gen or start with a new platform?

    My son’s 3rd gen just passed 270k miles, and he has no intention of packing it in in the near (or distant) future. His is a Colorado truck, so doesn’t have any rust, but your situation looks pretty manageable. In your case I’d recommend a lot of education, and since it’s a 3rd car in a two...

    How tf do I replace the O2 sensor on a 100-series with DT headers?

    You might get a little stronger response on ih8mud.com. Several folks over there running DT headers on 100 series cruisers.

    2005 lx 470 vs 93 lc - link in last post

    That’s an 80 series. Very cool vehicles, and the f&r lockers are a great addition, but if you’re not a “wrench it yourself” kind of guy you may find it’s a lot more work than you planned. I’d keep looking.

    2005 lx 470 vs 93 lc - link in last post

    Also- as an expo vehicle, assuming all systems are working as designed, this should be an excellent starting point for a family rig. I bought a 2003 LX470 with 100k more miles last year, daily drive it, and wouldn’t hesitate to take it to the wilds of Colorado and other points west tomorrow...

    2005 lx 470 vs 93 lc - link in last post

    There’s a very useful introduction to the 100 series on Ih8mud- https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/100-series-faq.30754/. I would start there, looking first at the Slee Offroad guide for new 100 series owners.

    2000 Series 100 purchase decision...help

    I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of price variation due to market, so in your area what is a good price for a rust free rig is going to be less than a rust free rig in NY or MA. My LX470 (fancy land cruiser) came in around $10k in the Denver area with 232000 miles and lifetime dealer service...

    Basic load bar setup for brief RTT use

    Check on ih8mud- there’s a thread about using 8020 extruded aluminum for cross bars to add to or replace the factory stuff. I bought 3 1”x2” bars for $108 from tnutz.com, including all of the mounting hardware. The Side rails are said to be rated for a dynamic loading situation. Many folks have...

    100 Series Land Cruiser rear platform question

    Mine has d-rings in the four corners of the floor (see photos). I’ll be using these as anchors for my drawer system using turnbuckles, most likely. Many examples of this method in the drawer section.

    Less is more. I like it.

    Toyota Sequoia quest for information...

    They are prone to cracked exhaust manifolds as well. I loved my 2002, but the tick tick ticking of the manifold (and the prospect of replacement) was annoying.
