Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470: Buying, Owning, Maintaining, and Loving the Legend

By Steve Sorensen

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a global legend. Buying, driving, and keeping it on the road requires a battle plan and serious know-how.

I'll demystify everything from the infamous "Cruiser Tax" to the quirks of the Land Cruiser's Lexus LX470 sibling. Look for deep discussions of:

100-Series Essentials: Why they're the last of the overbuilt SUVs, what to look for before you buy, and how to use the "Lexus Discount" to your advantage.

Engine & Drivetrain Wisdom: Tackling the non-negotiable timing belt service, the dreaded exhaust manifold tick, and silencing the infamous driveline clunk.

The AHC Conundrum Conquered: A deep dive into the Lexus LX470's complex hydraulic suspension, explaining when to repair it and when to delete it-without fear.

Interior & Electrical Savvy: Solving the "$4,000 sunroof" dilemma, fixing rotted Mark Levinson speaker foam for under $30, and navigating modern stereo upgrades.

Four-Wheel-Drive Mastery: Understanding the full-time 4WD system, the critical Center Differential Lock, and unlocking the true capability of the A-TRAC system.

Forget confusing forum threads or dry factory manuals. This book is packed with real-world tips and hard-won knowledge, whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just want to speak your mechanic's language.

Dodge common pitfalls, budget like a pro, and fall in love with owning one of the most capable vehicles on the planet.

Dive in with me, and let's keep these legends ready for their next adventure.
