$45K for an FJ Cruiser seems insane. Can't you find a mint 80 series diesel there for that money?

Yes, I'm sure that will be the case. The largest volume LC dealer in the US is Ed Martin Toyota in Indiana where their GM is a regular contributor over on IH8MUD. He was advertising a while ago that he could get anyone a 2020 LC for $80K. Not HE. They are currently offering $5K off msrp for...

If it wasn't $90K, I'd order one of the last HE's - in Silver please :D

Assuming you have an LX470, I wouldn't be concerned about 200k miles as long as you've kept up on the maintenance? Should be on it's 2nd timing belt by now, steering rack known to need replacement about now ($$$$), and AHC are likely the big issues with your rig. If you're rig has no rust...

Congrats on the new rig and nice pics of your fleet - which ones do you still own?

You've already discovered why we own and love our Land Cruisers: "I have now owned the vehicle for 30,000 trouble free miles. The vehicle is tight, AC cold, heat is hot and no squeaks or rattles after 20 years on the road - all the things I heard were true!" If you want to make your LX less...

What's the price difference between the 2? If same price, I'd go for the 2013 200. If there's more than a $15k differential in price, I'd go for the 100. I love my '03 and plan to move to a '13+ when my son gets his license in a few years. I'm not in love with the bloated highlander look of...

I love my Hundy. The sweet spot is the '03 - '05 as you're guaranteed to avoid AHC. Find one that's rust free and regular service history and you won't miss your 80 any longer. '06 - '07 LC can also be found without AHC as it was optional, but when I was looking several years ago, all the...

Great write up and pics - I'll be following along your journey. As you know, we don't get the 105 here in the states and we hate you guys for that :) But, I love my Hundy. I've never seen that color on an LC before but it looks great. It might have been available on the LX470 at some point...

Thanks @lumpski that looks pretty good. Was it crusty before?

Can you post pics of the underside of your LC after the "rustoration"? I've been using Krown for the last few years, but there's still more surface rust under my rig than I like.

I did all the trails in the San Juans last summer with 100s in the hills in my rig which is essentially stock. Only thing I did was put BFG K02's on it and remove the running boards. Ran like a top and didn't have any issues. I was with a dozen other 100's with the majority having lifts...

Nice write up and pics! I was at HIH7 with my 11 yr old and we had an absolutely amazing time - drove out and back from Boston. Plan to go every other year so looking forward to HIH9. Your brother is a popular guy with all that he gives away during the raffle!

Your best bet is to post your questions about the 200 series at https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/200-series-cruisers.136/

I'm with @4Beast I like the 18" stock LC wheels especially the '06-'07 hyper silver. If I was going to go with another wheel, it would be the 18" TRD Pro Tundra wheel in Black: While I love my 100 series, if your next vehicle is going to be your LAST vehicle going into retirement, I'd go with...
