Congrats!! I really like that color. The whole thing looks super clean! I guess you solved the 99 vs '00+ debate :p

I like the color. Especially with the black pearl emblems.

You are missing the butterfly in your cup holder (very common and frustrating thing on 100s) and the positive battery cover. Neither are deal breakers :)

Did they do the 90k service? Timing belt and water pump or just timing belt.

Congrats!

Yes, that will be fixed ASAP

I dont see any receipts for it. Is this a highly recommended service? Known issues? Cost? Thanks

very very nice. I am almost jealous...

Kevin, look at this one....I took this picture outside of the ARB shop in Sydney, Australia. I believe the color is very similar to yours.

Very nice set up

The vehicle looks outstanding and the milage is close to what my 98 Trooper had on it when I made the purchase two years ago. Given how clean your vehicle looks inside and out, I would go ahead with the 90K mile service work from Toyota and consider it money well spent. This will cost a few bucks ($500+) depending on what other components they find worn but then it's done and you really shouldn't have any problems mechanically. Then you have a daily driver that could tackle the offroad trails as well. Enjoy this rig in good health and be sure to get it off the beaten path once in awhile using every 4X4 option it offers, including that rear differential lock.

One of my favorite colors and with the blacked out trim.

Butterfly for cup holder is a piece that fits in the gap, to adjust for cup sizes.

The 90k mile service info is usually written on a sticker, placed somewhere toward the front of the engine. It might even be under the engine cover. No sticker, probably means you still need the service (timing belt, etc.)

This rig will basically be built exactly like my 80.

Only differences will be all terrains instead of muds, and i will be able to tow :clapsmile
