ExPo 100 Series Registry

[Attom]

1. Year, model, color, etc: 2000, LX470, Gold
2. Name of owner/screen name: Attom
3. How long have you owned your 100 series? Is this your first? 2 months, 1st Cruiser
4. Mileage at date of purchase and present mileage: 241XXX, 241XXX (have only driven it 10-15 miles)
5. Your favorite mods... If any: No real mods, just repairs so far... took 6 weeks to figure out why the immobilized wouldn't let it start (ecu was getting low voltage due to a bad fuse block). I nce we finally got it going we found the ahc was out, so we replaced the accumulators and fluid. Axle took the brunt of a minor accident, have a replacement on order. Looking at tires right now (recommendations gladly accepted, leaning towards Cooper Discoverer AT3's, they seem to have a good balance of price, treadlife, and performance, from what other people say). Removed running boards.
Hope to add a fridge, rrt, teardrop, and sliders.
6. How your 100 is used... ie. DD, family adventure, overland travel, etc.: Will be my DD and tow vehicle on delivery days (I make concrete counters in a shop before I deliver and install them). My family loves any kind of outdoor adventure, this will probably replace our neglected Montero on a most of our trips.
Hope to break it in on a month long trip out west after my oldest graduates this spring.

Congrats on the new ride. Looks like a clean LC and with only 93,000 on it, you'll have it a while!

You best be putting some real tires on that thing before you hit the snow! Assuming it's still on the ground in GJ?

Hah! Right around 70* here today, and near 80* this weekend. But I've learned that means nothing here in the Grand Valley, and we could easily get snow next week. Yes, to keep my wife happy, I'll not be doing too much to the Land Cruiser right away. We still have the same 2002 Tundra we took down to Darien, and it's a great trail rig(though it was hit last week by a drunk). I think for now, I'll just swap out the tires, and if she'll let me...remove the running boards. It sounds like a 285 AT will work well with stock suspension. Is this true? All tire brands are different when it comes to sizing/fit, so any in particular that work well with no rubbing? We have Cooper ST Maxx 285/75r16 on the Tundra, and love them, but I can't imagine those will work without an ^^^^upgrade on the Land Cruiser.

Spent the last few days driving it from Orlando to Grand Junction, Colorado. Man...what a sweet ride. Had 93K and change, now a week later 96K and change. First drive in our Land Cruiser was a trouble free multi-state road trip....perfect way to start a relationship.

I have 285/75-16 BFG ATs on mine now, and when I bought it the po had just installed 305/70-16 Swamper IROKs. Those came off right away. I am running OME suspension and wheel spacers for the 285s. I actually plan to put the ST Maxxs on it in 285 fairly soon. I have them on my diesel and love them. With your stock height truck, I'd bet 265/75s would be a better bet? The suspension for these isn't super expensive though. Might be able to convince the aquistions committee with a little effort?

Has your timing belt been done? It's due at 90,000 although many have gone much longer. Mine is at 203,000 now and was fue at 180. It's booked in for thursday this week.

One of the things I was looking for while shopping...yep, timing belt done at 80K. Drove it from Florida to Colorado with zero issues, and just got it fully inspected by our local shop Friday. It's in better than expected condition. Not one spec of rust under there! I couldn't believe how clean it is. For now, Weathertech mats ordered, and looking at seat covers. I also see Slee offers a 1.5" OME leveling kit that would allow for a 1 size over stock upgrade on tires, and that may be a good compromise. Maybe Slee steps to replace those fancy factory running boards down the road.

 

[lotarp100]

Low budget overland LX

2000 Lexus LX470, Black.
Ben Jamanai / LoTarp100
Purchased July 2016 - So we've been together almost a year.
Florida car, all Lexus dealer service records, no rust.
It's my first cruiser, I was a Cherokee XJ owner from 1998-2016.
Had about 180K on it when i bought it, just rolled over 205K. (25K in 8 months!!)
I've put BFG KO2's on it, removed AHC and replaced with LC Shocks, still need to do torsion bars but it's ok for now, baselined, replaced front diff after exploding it on first off-roading adventure (it's no cherokee!), CV's, all brakes, chassis lube, floor mats, interior LED's and new windshield.
Needs: Front hub bearings.
Wants: Sliders with steps (the lady needs something to get in!) ARB cooler, stereo, lift, front/rear bumpers, roof rack, dual battery setup, winch, recovery gear, and maybe a trailer for a ShiftPod tent.
Favorite mod? The plastic window visors! Vents Florida heat while parked and allows highway driving with windows down!
Overland Rig - Florida-> Burning Man (Black Rock Desert, Nevada) -> Yosemite -> Arizona - Florida, and 2X Florida -> Michigan - Florida.
Some of my favorite pics:
New Smyrna Beach, Florida:


Hauling a stage, yurt, and bikes to burning man and back to Florida via Yosemite, yes that's a futon on the roof. No we didn't sleep there, we managed to cram a queen size futon in the back with all rear seats removed. yes, we slept in there several times. Yes, the air conditioner in the rear blowing on your face in the desert is awesome.

Tahoe -> Brigeport, CA (en route to hot springs)
