For sale is my 2001 Lexus LX470 in rare Mystic Sea Opal. Currently at approximately 176K miles, and it has been a clean West Coast (OR/WA) rig since new. The frame and undercarriage are very clean, with just minimal surface rust in a few spots.
Update as of 11/12/26: The LX470 is still at the body shop. I stopped by today (11/12/26) to check on the progress. The hood and roof have been prepped and are about ready for paint. Some blending with the adjacent fenders will also be required. Unfortunately, the rust on the inside of the rear hatch is too extensive to justify repairing. The new owner will need to source a replacement liftgate. The body shop has provided a revised estimated completion date of 11/22/26. I’ll update the listing with new photos once the work is completed and the vehicle is back in my possession.
Recent maintenance/upgrades under my ownership include:
• Timing belt, water pump, heater tees, and all fluids
• AHC deleted and replaced with stock Toyota OEM 100-Series suspension by Torfab
• Upgraded stereo system featuring a Kenwood Android Auto/Apple CarPlay head unit with Bluetooth capability, Focal speakers, and AudioControl 4-channel amplifier
• New 275/65R18 Falken Wildpeak H/T02 tires
• Dual-brushless ARB compressor mounted on a Torfab 100-Series bracket
• Additional work performed by Torfab includes new valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, lower oil pan gasket, sway bar end links, and OEM rear suspension links
Known cosmetic/mechanical issues:
• Minor damage to the passenger-side rear fender/bumper from the previous owner
• Sunroof is currently inoperable (drains have been cleaned)
• Door locks occasionally stick
• Key fob does not work
• Front crank seal has a slow leak. Torfab advised that it is not a pressing issue and can be addressed with the next timing belt service. Torfab performed a full baseline inspection of the rig, and this was the only item we did not address.
• Rear rotors have slight grooving and will eventually need replacement at the next brake service
• Fog light bulbs are burnt out. I have a set of new Ben3DBuild LED fog light assemblies that will be installed prior to the sale.
Sale will also include a set of 16" OEM LX470 wheels (rig is currently on newer 18" Tundra wheels).
The rig is currently at the body shop having windshield frame rust and rear hatch rust professionally repaired. I am also getting the hood and full roof repainted per the body shop's recommendation. More photos will be uploaded over the next two weeks. I’ll be sure to take multiple detailed photos of the frame and undercarriage. Posting on Mud first to give our community first dibs on the rig, before it gets listed onto one of the auction platforms.
Asking $19,500 OBO. Clean WA title in-hand. Selling only due to on-going health issues, as I just haven’t been able to enjoy the rig as I originally intended. It’s a solid, well-maintained West Coast LX470 that’s ready to enjoy as-is or use as a clean, mostly stock base for your next overland build. Feel free to message me if you’re interested or have any questions. Thanks!
