I am not sure what price range you are looking at, but a 100 series LC is next on my list of cars. Get the timing belt / water pump done around 90k and you are good to go for another 90k. here are some samples. Cars for Sale: 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 in Dallas, TX 75229: Sport Utility...

Here is something I like to do when I am looking at a different auto. Go try out every vehicle on your list. BUT make sure they all have over 80k miles. That way you will know what it rides like with some miles behind it. And also look at resale. If it cost $30k and you can sell it for $18k, you...

leave them off. Take them to the scrap yard before she makes you put them back on. I always left mine off. But I did have the non-painted cladding so I didn't notice any pitting. FWIW, I took them off my LC80 too. Instant lift kit.

My vote would be to stick with a Yota color and get the FJ Cruiser Sandstorm color. The FJ has a new color for 2011 that is called Quicksand. It is slightly darker than the Sandstorm color.

I am going to assume that the fact that you drive a 4Runner makes you smart enough to not even attempt that. Darwin at work. Well, the guy did have a helmet on.

I think the Lexus RX would have been a better match to the rest of the vehicles. Seriously? An MDX against a GX? Come on C&D, lets do an apples to apples test.

I still stand by my original comment though. To most people, the Landcruiser is a "sleeper". Most people have no idea what they can do. Possibly because most people that spend $60k on a SUV don't intend on thrashing it on the trails.

I am in the same boat. And I agree. I bought my LX because I have always wanted one, it was a price I was happy to pay, and I don't mind doing my own maintenance. Once I financially recover from my divorce, a LC100 or any Toyo on the 120 platform will probably be parked next to my 80 which will...

That there is funny stuff. And it also proves the point I made in my previous post. So, not to start a major discussion, but how does a solid front axle with front AND rear locking differentials from the factory equal "2- If you buy a Landcruiser it come loaded with stuff and that is it, you...

I would think it is because most people know NOTHING about Landcruisers. When I first bought mine, a fully locked 97 LX450, no one had a clue about its capabilities. They kept saying "if you want to go offroad, you should have bought a GMC or Ford". They other part to that equation is that there...

I haven't used either of the boxes. I have however, used many thule products. Their customer service is beyond excellent. They went above and beyond normal customer service twice for me.

Around 3/4" all the way around. It may very a bit but that is a close estimate. Mine was pretty much right on 3/4".

I had a 2" spacer. My recommendation would be for a 1" or 1.5" spacer. There was a little less than a 1/4" difference between the front and rear with mine and I had the V8. I personally like the looks when you have about 1/2" difference. A little bit of rake is better than a little bit of butt...

Thats a pretty good buy. If they are the Bilteins, i would personally ditch the XREAS. If they are not, it would be a toss up. Depends on how many miles are on your factory ones. Good luck J

Here is what I found with spacers. For the record, I put a 2" spacer (1" thick) on my 4Runner when I had it. They do raise your truck. However, you do not gain any travel. So if you have 10" of travel and in a stock setup, you sit at the 7" mark (numbers are for reference only, not actual...
