Well guys, I've crossed over from the Jeep Cult. A couple of weeks ago I made the decision to sell my Jeep because I needed more room for stuff and also because I couldn't really pull a trailer as well as I'd like. Being a college student, I wanted to get something that I knew would last me at least another 10-15 years depending on how much I drove whatever it was. Hence the 100 series. :sombrero:
Anyways, I found this GEM of a LC just north of Nashville and once I sold the Jeep, we went and picked it up. It's a one-owner with 182,000 on the clock and I've got all the service records dating back to '05 when Toyota started keeping computer records :victory: . She even took it to the dealership to get washed and waxed... The only things it really needs is a set of front brakes, a muffler, and the front seats recovered. The timing belt was replaced at 90,000 along with all the other 90K service items, so it will be taking a trip to the dealership here in the next few weeks. Other than that this thing is slick!
I'm going to keep this a relatively budget-minded build as I'm on a college budget. I have about $2100 left from the money I got for my Jeep after paying for the Cruiser, so I'm buying what I NEED with that money and then this summer when I have more income coming in the fun can start :bike_rider:
Specs -
1999 LC
Rear Diff-Lock
182,000
Imperial Jade Mica Green (Or however you say it)
Mods -
Custom rear drawer build (I got a sweet coleman stove for Christmas and am saving for a fridge, so I want to build some sort of inset for the stove and a slide for the fridge on top).
285/75/16 Tires (Probably Nitto Tera Grapplers as my local tire shop is running a sale on them).
PFRAN Interior LED's DONE
PFRAN CV axle clamps DONE
Yakima Load Bars (I am an avid fisherman and haul around my kayak alot, the factory cross bars don't really hold the kayak well) DONE
Tint front windows to match rears along with windshield (local tint guy matched the broze relfective tint pretty darn good) DONE
Pioneer Double Din Headunit w/backup camera (factory headunit obivously has no aux input and having hands free is nice) DONE
LED Headlights and Fog lights (The factory halogens SUCK) DONE
I hope to take this rig out west this summer and explore more of the western part of my state (Arkansas).
Here's a picture from the day we picked it up.
