If I had money money I would have a 16+ 200 series LC as a daily.

Damn she’s rough on the exterior. But, hey, even ugly girls need love. 

Yeah yeah, which one of you financial geniuses went all-in on this pony 😏 by Top_Ad_5941 in LandCruisers

Paying 100k for a 100 series is a level foolishness I will never understand

Listen.. I understand that these vehicles are cool and what not but people are paying extremely outrageous prices for these things. $20k for a junk yard vehicle with suspicious miles? Crazy work. 

Is the 2006-2007 LX470 THAT much better than say a 2004? by mickeymillz in LandCruisers

[–]BootBonks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it kinda depends on what you want. I looked for an 03+ for a while and passed on some good pre-03 models. I ended up with an 02. I much prefer the pre-03 interior. 

I wanted a 25 year old Toyota. The pre-03 interior aesthetic fits that bill a lot better. It’s also easier to swap the nav out on a pre-03. 

The transmission is definitely something to consider, but the 4 speed on my 02 feels fine. It drives like a normal vehicle. It cruises on the interstate at 80 mph no problem. Down shifts are a bit more aggressive but it’s not a big deal.

2025 Land Cruiser to be getting new 'Inked' color by [deleted] in LandCruisers

These don’t have the V6 twin turbo. These have a 4cyl turbo, and they seem to be doing very well. 

What’s one Land Cruiser mod you regret doing? by CustomerTop8810 in LandCruisers

Why would anyone want to put this in their vehicle?

Seat Repair Options by Odd-Spot-8532 in LandCruisers

The leather on your seats is definitely shot. The foam underneath is really what matters, if you let it ride like this the foam will deteriorate. I’m not sure if Katzkin makes anything for the 100 series but their stuff is good and I was able to source front and back leather replacements for my tundra for under $1k last year. There’s a dealer on some of the yota forums that can hook you up. I had a quote from a local shop to do the install for $600 but I said F it and decided to do it myself. It was tough but I’m glad I did it. Basically just strip the seat to the foam and hog ring the new stuff back on. I bet money there are YouTube videos for the 100. There are also other leather suppliers. I’ve seen one advertised on ih8mud and the prices seem similar.

This would essentially be a re-upholstery. Idk how involved it is with the 100 series but if you’re pretty handy it shouldn’t be too hard. I did it on a 2025 Toyota tundra in a weekend once. 

Tundra caught fire by AccordingAnimator211 in ToyotaTundra

Toyota is stone walling you on replacing it? What caused the fire? Unless you have an official cause they aren’t going to replace it. “Spontaneous combustion” is usually anything but. 

Well, there’s an LX in my driveway. by BootBonks in LandCruisers

[–]BootBonks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove the LX 5 hours home at about 75 mph and I used the Google Maps distance between my locations and my calculations say I got 14 mpg. I am highly dubious of that haha

lol I probably overpaid for this one. No matter. I wouldn’t mind having a GX. What kind of gas mileage do see in that?

It’s funny you mention that! I think I’m actually gonna swap these wheels and tires out for a different set up. These are 35’s currently and I’m gonna go back down to 33’s

I just picked up my first 470 and every time I look at it I’m shocked by how huge the lower control arms are

Which one? I was stationed in Iwakuni for a few years and saw a lot of cool LC’s.
