Per forum protocol, I'm posting a message to say the vehicle has been SOLD. It went to an upstanding member of this Forum. I want to thank everyone for their help and I'm wishing the new owner nothing but the best and hope his experience with the truck is as good as ours has been.

Folks, a deposit has been received by an out-of-state forum member. He's scheduled to fly out next weekend to pick 'er up, so I'll make a final entry into this thread at that time. Thanks everyone!!

I'm getting some interest, which is good, lot's of views here, too. If you're looking for a really clean, well taken care of 100-series, you should really consider this one. BTW, a new radiator went in this past weekend, and I used Toyota Red Coolant/Distilled Water. Something to consider: I...

Bumpsie on this beautiful, no stories, accident-free truck. Folks, this is truly one you should be looking at if you're seriously in the market for a 100-series. Let's git 'er sold!

CL link fixed: 1998 LX470, CA/No Rust, Never Off-Road, 215K Mi, OME, Slee Diff Drop Can take more photos of whatever anyone needs. (Made additional updated edits in original post, too)

I think I'm the lowest priced 100-Series on here (I'm thinking this is a good thing). As you can tell from the pictures, this is a super nice truck. Here's a link to more pictures: 1998 LX470, CA/No Rust, Never Off-Road, 215K Mi, OME, Slee Diff Drop Full timing belt job done at 187,800 (All...

A low miles Acura MDX just landed in our laps that we've decided to keep. It's now time for the LX470 to reluctantly go. We are the 2nd owners. We purchased this beautiful truck from the Bay Area original owner in Jan 2001. This truck has never been off-road, never left California, is garaged...

Ok, just wondering how to fix the "plastic sensor" situation. I also have alarm going off when using the key, replaced driver's door actuator. Good for a few years, now it's back. Thinking of tackling the trunk next, but need a bit of clarity of what to do when I actually find the plastic...

Rich, thanks for updating us. I posted in this thread 2.5 years ago, but found no fix yet, and it is the single biggest issue I'm having with this truck. I'm tired of waiting 5 seconds to open my door. How did you determine that it was the driver's door lock actuator? Did you only replace...

The Plan for my 98 LX470: Drain/refill tranny pan. Then disconnect the upper transmission cooler line to do the fluid exchange routine until fluid starts coming out looking like new. Question: Valvoline Dex/Merc at $3.99/qt or Redline D4 at $8.95/qt? Is Redline that much better...

Happened on my rig last year, here's the thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/418083-hose-identification-help-needed-98-lx470.html

Nice and dry now.

Fixed Finally got in there planning to replace hoses, clamps and the "T" junction pipe. As soon as I got going, the "T" crumbled to bits. It was rotted through. Swapped it out, reclamped, cleaned the area up, repositioned all clamp tangs for easier future access, topped off antifreeze with some...

Pman: Thanks for the parts detail. I'm going to replace all 3 hoses and clamps that go into that "T". Seems like an easy enough job. Bamachem: Great Internet vision. I'm standing 2 feet away from that hose in person and it looked like it was missing. It's a different color shade than the...

I have a small, oily leak coming from the hose marked in this picture. The hose looks like it's missing a clamp, too. I'll buy a new clamp and install it, but was wondering about the substance that has been leaky out of this hose for an undetermined amount of time. I guess it'd be good to...
