Brought home the wife's new kiddo wagon today. Found an '01 UZJ100 for a really killer price so I pulled the trigger and added it to the fleet. It will get some decent AT tires and some other minor things but nothing major. The plan is to make it the long distance family wagon and build our '98 4runner for all other.

Very nice. I've got the same year and color 100 minus the fender flares. What options does it come with? Nav? Mileage?

It doesn't have the nav system but seems to have most everything else. CD changer, climate control, 3rd row, heated seats, etc etc Even a full set of husky liners :wings: Another nice thing is it has been a Texas truck its entire life. It's super clean underneath.

It's got 96k on it. Looks to be pretty well maintained but it does need its 90k PMs done (timing belt, all fluids, grease, etc). I'll do that soon. I drove it about 180 miles back home and got about 16 mpg and wasn't really trying. That was a nice surprise.

It slightly pulls to the left, but it's barely noticeable. An alignment will be soon as part of the baseline. Interior only has a few minor flaws, a few blemishes in the wood grain stickers and the seats, while not torn, are a little extra "wrinkled". It's really nice overall.

I did have a couple of drops of water hit me in the foot when I let my wife drive it. The A/C condensation is evidently dripping inside a little. The drain is not completely stopped up as water does come out, but I'll have to get in there and tend to it a little.

The only thing that I don't like is it has been repainted. They did a good job though and it actually took me a while to realize it. Carfax said it was involved in an accident in 2007 so I checked it out thoroughly and did not find any evidence other than the paint job. It's super clean and the body shop evidently did a very thorough job.

I'm pretty excited but my wife is beside herself. She has wanted one for a long time.
