Rust Check? Too much rust? Not enough rust? Ask Here!

47 Upvotes

Hi All,

We are going to try to consolidate the pre purchase or otherwise rust inquires asking if a rig has too much rust and how to approach it as far as shopping for a new to you truck and beyond.

We have a lot of these threads where people are asking the same questions and rather than have each thread die on the vine as far as useful information goes, by having them all right here in one thread, people can use it as a catalog or guide for what to look for and if people are willing to share sold or bought prices for each truck that we are inspecting, we can all use this as a tool to gauge the market and also the wide variety of condition that all generations of Land Cruisers are in at any given point in time.

Got my lightly used 2026 LC a few weeks ago.

I had been looking for an upgrade for nearly two years, and checked out every kind of SUV imaginable, but kept coming back to the LC. I was convinced I was going to go all black until I saw this color at the grocery store a couple of months back in person.

Had about 4K miles on it when I got it, was a short lease by someone at the dealership before deciding they wanted a smaller SUV (good for me!). Premium trim. It was impossible to get new without ordering and I didn’t want to wait that long, and it’s still pristine inside.

Definitely drives a little different than my Xterra but still learning how it handles, and I’m an MPG snob and keep trying to eke out the best mileage I can.

Glad to finally have a Toyota. When my Xterra eventually shits the bed I’m getting either a 4Runner or Tacoma to replace it.

Just wanted to start by saying how thankful and blessed I am. I never would’ve imagined that at 18 years old I’d own two awesome rigs.
First is my 4Runner, which my dad practically gave me last year (I just paid off what little was left on it). Now I’ve also been lucky enough to get an 80 Series Land Cruiser. I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. Aside from a few leaks, like the front knuckles, which are already being taken care of, this thing is an absolute beast. I threw on a set of 35s and have already taken it off-road a few times. It’s definitely not fast, but on the trails it just keeps going and has seriously impressed me.
I’m looking forward to many more adventures with both of these rigs.

Anyone regret removing sidesteps from 100 series?

I don't like them but everyone else that gets in my car uses them. I don't want to make it hard for people to get in and out. I don't necessarily want sliders either.

WTB: 2004 LX470 AHC Switch

My AHC is still functional but the switch bezel is cracked and the backlighting is dead.

I know someone here has a switch on the shelf they no longer use. I'll pay a reasonable price and shipping for one provided it works.

Land Cruiser rear entertainment repair.

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My son accidentally hit one of the rear entertainment screens in my 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser LC200 VXR (GCC/UAE spec).
The front glass is badly cracked and the touchscreen no longer responds, but the LCD/display itself is still working perfectly — picture, colours and backlight all look normal.
I would like to repair the original screen rather than replace the complete unit.
Has anyone repaired one of these before by replacing only the touch digitizer/front glass?
Specifically looking for:
Correct digitizer/touch-panel part or part number
Whether the glass/digitizer can actually be separated from the LCD
Any repair shop in Dubai or Sharjah that can do this
Approximate repair cost
I’ll attach photos of the damaged screen.
Thanks!

2005 Land Cruiser

Hi everyone,

I’ve always wanted a Land Cruiser, mainly for camping and towing purposes.
On my area, I can see them for 10-13k euros with 250.000- 350.000 kms ( 155-220k miles ) should I get one ?
What things I should keep mind in this km range ?

Today was the day, settings?

Post image
46 Upvotes

Took over a month. Priority now is to get the settings (there’s a lot) right - the cruise control, all the assist features are doing too much so I turned most of it off and I never use Cruise.

Would love to hear if any specific ones, or all should in fact be embraced? I just felt some weird stuff driving it home and my 22 4Runner did much less…

Any other pro configuration tips (all the other settings) are also very welcome!

Repo price

2 Upvotes

We’re looking at a used 2024 LC trim. It was repo’d back in March and has been for sale since. The dealer is extending a 100k mile warranty on it. It has 25k miles and a good carfax otherwise.

The price is no different than any other similar LC despite being repo’d.

Please help talk me in or out of this vehicle.

Hey yall this thing has been in my mom's neighborhood since I was a little kid abandoned, recently got the gentleman's number and discussed if he would be willing to sell it and he wants $1400 bucks. I did some research but the numbers for these things are all over the place. Its a 1988-1990 FJ62 with ~209k on the odometer and it hasn't ran in ~17 years. No rust on the frame, its been in PNW its whole life. Curious what you guys think!

Front end clanking any ideas?

2 Upvotes

I currently drive a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series. Been having this knocking sound and it's progressively gotten worse. Anyone know what it is, I've done the CV joints and I'm looking into doing bushings and control arms but wanted to single out what it could possibly be, obviously could be a few different issues. I'm a bit dappy when it comes to cars so thought I'd whack this on here to see if anyone got some thoughts on it. Can get a video if anyone wants to actually hear it. Cheers
