400 miles to 350K

Just after 300K changed the drum brakes for the first time ! All original besides the AC compressor, climate control and starter. Replacing the original 1999 spark plug wires tomorrow.

My mom drove it off the lot on 09/11/01 with me in the back seat, now it’s been mine for the better part of a decade.
We shipped it to Hawaii when we moved there & shipped it again when we moved back to Minnesota. No regrets
Fantastic story....

lets keep this thread alive.

There's some kind of a weird family but I learned about recently at my mechanics' shop. I saw a poorly maintained land cruiser with 3 tires that had EXPOSED STEEL BELTS. Body damage, gross interior. The works. When I inquired about it, they told me that the family that owns it are these wierd shitty people who never do any maintenance. "They don't believe in oil changes or new tires". So whenever a vehicle fails, or the tires go bad, they try to get it all done for free/warranty and after that they just buy another car.

I could tell my mechanic does not like to deal with them, and that it is one of those "ugh..." things.

Anyway, so this Land cruiser wouldn't start anymore on top of that. Also... They drove it in as you see it in the photo.

Right there is a perfect start to a no f***s given rock crawling bush buggy. Never worry about scratches and every body panel is already dented anyway

From your experience, at what mileage does the car stop driving smoothly?

Honestly that depends on how you take care of it. If you replace consumable items like shocks and bushings, they should ride smooth forever.

Mine has a hair over 250k.

Got it from a guy in Cedar City UT.

The suspension and most of the bushings were shot, and it had crappy exhaust and CAI.


I've fixed it up to a nice daily driver, week-end off road rig!

I'm thinking my bushings/shocks must be bad. Mine bounces around and just feels loose in the back end in general.

Are you lifted in the rear? If so, or either way is your panhard bar level with the ground? If it isn't level these trucks will feel "loose" in the back.

There is a forum member who sells a panhard back correction kit that can fix this.
