Ok all, here is the replacement rig (better pics to follow)... Sadly (or not), the Taco has to go for a family friendly wheeler. I've been looking around, seen a dozen different ones, and finally found the right one for the right price! Damn thing drives like it's new. It is silent as a coffin, no rattles or squeaks, drives straight as an arrow.

Background on the vehicle:
2000 UZJ 100 LandCruiser. Silver with tan leather interior. Full time 4x4, 4.7 V8, traction control, abs, skid control...
2 year lease turn in - 20,000 mi.
3 year private party - 50,000 mi.
6 months bought by owner of Torrey Pines Auto Sales. Formerly management with Bob Baker Autogroup for 30 years. Tons of Toyota experience. Driven by his wife for several months until offered for sale. - 8,000 mi.
total: 78,000 mi.
Dealer service records showing oil changes, etc. every 5,000 mi. Mechanical - excellent, paint/interior - good.
This guy was excellent. No BS, no lies, no crappy cars. Most of the cars were very high end, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes... and a few Toyota's:)
This was a $50,000+ rig in 2000... I paid $22,000+ fees. Cheapest quality Cruiser in LA, Orange, or SD, in this condition.
Future plans? Sliders, f & r bumpers, f & r ARB's, 2-3" lift, 35's. Cool thing about the 100's is that you can run 285 75 r16 with absolutely no rubbing on stock suspension.
