Exterior Overview
In 1999, Toyota was running circles around other manufacturers. The brand’s slate of SUVs was particularly good, and the top-of-the-line model was the Land Cruiser 100. Safe, reliable, and tough as nails, this full-size SUV was the full package. Classically styled, this White Pearl (057) example is adorned with some neat cosmetic upgrades. The OEM spare tire swingarm, factory rainguards, and new 17″ ICON alloys subtly set this unit off. Aside from a few light dings, chips, and scuffs, the body is in good nick, and this VX Limited is fresh off a recent service. Boasting a remarkable 77k verified and documented miles on the clock, this V8-powered truck is turn-key ready to rock! Ideal as a spacious family hauler, wicked weekend wheeler, or bounding beach cruiser, this terrific Toyota can do it all! A Japanese Classic forever and always, this lovable Landy just needs a new owner!
Interior Overview
The cabin is massive, and access is made easier thanks to functional keyless entry. The driver benefits from a tilt-adjustable steering column. The dashboard is in good nick and lacks any cracking or fading. Dual SRS airbags are standard for some added peace of mind. Power folding mirrors, electric locks, and electric folding mirrors all work in typical Toyota fashion. The center stack is close by and within arm’s reach. The touchscreen infotainment screen includes the climate control settings. The AC and heat work like a charm, and if you prefer more natural ventilation, the rear quarter glass pops outward. Also integrated is the OEM audio system that pipes in the tunes and sounds decent. The headliner is in good shape, as are the door cards, and the tan upholstery lacks any major rips, stains, or tears. The middle row split folds and slides forward to accommodate large cargo, and the rear jump seats increase capacity to eight and stows neatly against the D-pillar. Aside from some light carpet stains and a non-functional driver’s electric lumbar support, there is little to complain about inside. Even the original owner’s manual is still situated in the glovebox.
Mechanical Overview
Sharing mechanicals with our domestic Land Cruisers, the ownership and service experience is easy as they come. The 4.7L V8 is fresh off an oil and filter service and whirrs to life courtesy of a new 12V battery. A new engine air filter allows the 2UZ-FE to breathe freely, and the dual overhead cam mill pulls hard as a horse to redline. A stout automatic gearbox sends power to the full-time 4WD dual-range transfercase. Center locked, the pilot can trundle over sand, snow, and mud without breaking a sweat. It gets up to highway merging speeds with ease and slows down promptly thanks to new front brake pads and rotor and standard ABS. The power steering is light and easy to articulate, which makes parking this beast a snap. The lifted suspension includes an aftermarket adjustable panhard bar and aftermarket torsion bars. We refreshed the system with new rear upper and lower control arms and new front swaybar links. It can handle the rigors of daily use and abuse and feels confident over less than ideal pavement. Grip comes from four new 33″ Falken tires that we mounted and balanced at each corner. Freshly aligned, the new rubber looks mean, quells road noise, and will last for tens of thousands of miles to come.
