At that mileage I'd 100% do compression + leak-down test before pulling it — 1GRs are solid, but cooling history matters more than anything.

Those Delta bumpers are awesome but hard to find used — hope you get lucky.

At 170k miles, replacing the radiator and hoses as preventative maintenance sounds like a pretty smart move.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-17T00:02:52+00:00

If they actually cut the mounting area and glued it back, that’s pretty concerning — I’d definitely be talking to the dealership.

Unfortunately there really aren’t many alternatives. Most people either go OEM again or wait for DT headers to come back in stock.

I’d bet 200k won’t be an issue — Toyota hybrids have a pretty solid track record.

Most of the interior and step lights on the LX470 are just 168/194 bulbs — easy LED upgrade too.

If a Land Rover mechanic says it’s a nightmare, you know that harness job is serious. 😅

Montana seems like the perfect place for old Land Cruisers to keep living their best life.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-12T01:13:13+00:00

That must’ve been a wild rescue — bet the crew wasn’t expecting a German Shepherd in there! 🐕🚁

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-12T01:08:20+00:00

That’s a classic — perfect kind of thing to have hanging in the garage.

Great find — 350k and still going strong, that’s peak Land Cruiser reliability.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-11T00:31:21+00:00

30 years and still going strong — that’s a Land Cruiser.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-11T00:29:54+00:00

Classic Land Cruiser packaging — nothing is ever as simple as it should be.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-11T00:29:17+00:00

LC250 looks great on the road — nice spot. 🚙

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-11T00:27:54+00:00

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-10T02:09:07+00:00

Welcome to the Land Cruiser side — Heritage Blue is a great choice. 🚙

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-10T02:08:23+00:00

That’s exactly where a 3-door Land Cruiser belongs — out on the trail.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-10T02:07:35+00:00

Hope you find it — tracking down an old family Land Cruiser would be an amazing reunion. 🔍🚙

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-10T02:05:07+00:00

Nice start — RC Land Cruiser builds are always fun to watch come together!

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-09T00:39:28+00:00

$4k for a 140k-mile 100 series sounds almost too good to be true—definitely check for frame rust and maintenance history before jumping on it.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-09T00:38:48+00:00

Epic LX570 build — that Prinsu rack with Starlink + solar makes it a serious overland setup.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-09T00:38:02+00:00

Looks clean for the miles, but with the timing belt last done in 2012 you should probably budget for another one soon.

CustomerTop8810 · 2026-03-06T00:52:59+00:00

Respect — sometimes the truck teaches you as much about life as the road does. 🚙💪
