Lance, you have me itching to get a 100 series of my own, been looking around and seeing built ones and letting my head wander way to much, you have some awesome will power not to mod it!
Re: Good Times' 2000 Land Cruiser Build
WE almost picked up a 100 series the other day, great price, but we passed on it, still holding out for a nice 80 series in fact.

To my eye it looks bigger. Maybe it's the pudgy headlights and taillights, I dunno, but I parked next to a stock 5th gen the other day and it looked like a fat pig...the top of the roof was several inches taller than my lifted 3rd gen yet the ground clearance was considerably less.
Not that there is anything wrong with fat.
Re: Good Times' 2000 Land Cruiser Build
Looks great. I've had mine for 3.5 years. Miss the 4Runner/Taco at times, but the plushness soothes all of that away. I've got 33's, but need to call up Slee for sliders, bumper(s), roofrack, etc.
Re: Good Times' 2000 Land Cruiser Build
Those are great trucks, and if I found a good deal on one I would get one too.
Re: Good Times' 2000 Land Cruiser Build
What is the realistic fuel mileage of one of those?
Re: Good Times' 2000 Land Cruiser Build
MPG wise, at 100% stock, you're at ~17 highway. That's keeping it at 65-70MPH. I was getting 21 with the 4Runner (V6, auto) just for frame of reference. So it's not that great, but not horrible. With 33's, I'm down to 15. It's a second vehicle for me, so MPG doesn't really matter much. BTW, this is about on-par or better than FZJ80's with more power.
If I were doing more hardcore trails, I'd go back to a 4Runner, as it is smaller. But for most of the stuff I do now, this is more than adequate. Wife and kids love the extra room and comfort, too.
Re: Good Times' 2000 Land Cruiser Build
17 isn't as bad as I thought it would be considering its size. The FZJ80s had pretty dismal mileage.
