General Comments:

This machine is a tank. I've always been a domestic Jeep lover for off roading, but the LC has changed my mind.

Mods that have been done:

Full 6 in suspension lift from slee off road

Custom rims with 36 inch tires

Custom built bull bar

The truck actually rides better off road due the the suspension and tires, but is still reasonable comfortable on the road. Recently drove it from California to North Carolina with out a hiccup.

Everything that has gone wrong with the truck is minor for something with that many miles. Engine just churns along as if brand new.

Upholstery needs to be redone, but that is my only complaint about it as of right now.

This is a very reliable rig that will go anywhere.

Faults:

Alternator burnt out.

Water leak trouble.

General Comments:

This is my first car and I consider myself very lucky to have it.

I really love it's rugged good looks, and the car lives up to it on the trails.

Seats are pretty comfortable, but I can never feel as comfortable driving it as I do in my Mom's Suburban.

One thing I can say though, is while the Suburban is stuck in the driveway with mechanical problems, I'm cruising in my Cruiser.

The truck has been extremely reliable and I feel like I can always trust it.

The full-time 4WD is cool because I can drive very securely in harsh road conditions IE. heavy rain, unpaved roads, however it makes the truck pretty slow and it sucks down lots of gas. But if I cared about those things that much, I wouldn't be driving this amazing legend that is a Landcruiser.

Faults:

Transmission rebuild at 160000kms (rear engine seal started leaking soon after).

Fuel pump seals failed at 220000kms causing a large oil leak (new pump).

Front diff rebuild at 230000kms.

When sold:

Brake cylinder was failing.

Clutch was slipping under heavy load (i.e. towing).

Transfer was heavily worn causing lots of play and 'clunking' between gear changes.

General Comments:

The reliability of this car was unbelievable.

The engine never had any work except oil changes, plugs, leads, fuel pump and tune up.

Gearbox was not reliable long term.

Constant 4WD was the cause of the transfer wear.

Travelled around Australia twice and never missed a beat.

Only stuck on the roadside once because of a very dirty load of fuel (not the cars fault!!!).

Currently live on a sand island off the coast of East Australia, therefore it got plenty of beach and sand work.

Body was in perfect condition, no rust e.t.c.

Faults:

Spare wheel becomes hard to get out from underneath the car eventually.

Car has been recalled to have the brakes redone by Toyota.

First flat battery at 120,000km/h (that's the original!)

Back end bottomed out, ripped the back left hand plastic type bumper and mudguards off. Still like that at the moment, no need to replace them.

At 100000km/h a new exhaust line was required due to corrosion and 4x4ing.

General Comments:

Never misses a beat.

Starts first time every time.

Cheap to run.

Goes everywhere.

No leaks, breaks etc.
