Sold to a member here. It’s going to get a Cummins swap!

I picked it up in Denver from a guy who redid the interior but didn’t touch the engine. He got it from Texas. I put a couple thousand miles on it as a third vehicle and then there was a major oil leak after driving a few miles one morning. My mechanic said it needed a swap or rebuild but...

Alright, I’m throwing the towel in on my LX. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to do a swap or engine rebuild. Posted on CL: 1997 Lexus lx450 for sale by owner - White Mountain Lake, AZ - craigslist -...

Have you looked into the Torfab air box? https://torfab.com/product/air-box-kit-ls/

Are you planning on using the TorFab kit if you do the Gen V 5.3? My 80 needs a rebuild or a swap so I've been researching what the best/easiest swap will be and their kit looks like the best bet for the Gen V LTs.

Is it possible to ship this or would you rather someone local pick it up?

How’s the rear bumper? I need the left hand rear bumper extension reinforcement and maybe some other parts to put my bumper back together. Ignore the highlights and you can see what I’m referring to in the picture.

Just bought this LX last month. It’s pretty clean but the driver side rear bumper cap was cracked and crooked. Got an OE one from cruiser parts but after taking off the old one I think I need to replace a couple more parts under the cap. I don’t know what these parts are called or if they’re...

Interested if sale falls through.

Hey everyone! Here’s my LX450 I brought home a couple weeks ago from Denver. I have plans to start adding mods probably this spring/summer. Just getting to know her and am driving her daily right now. Right now I’m working on replacing the driver side rear bumper cap and mud flaps. You can’t...

It was clean, but I didn’t make an offer. The seller failed to mention that the speedometer and odometer didn’t work. He advertised it as 233k miles, but that’s when it stopped working maybe 20k miles ago… I found a clean LX450 with an open and honest seller.

I’m picking up a 97 lx450 on Saturday. I’ve only seen it in pictures, videos, and carfax but it checks out. I was in the same situation as you and I’ve been in the market for a few months but nothing near me checked out. (It doesn’t help that anything decent from AZ goes straight to BAT…) I’m...

Well, I put a deposit down and am now planning a 20+ hour round trip to go get her this weekend. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that reached out, sent pics and videos, and answered my questions. You probably won’t see me in the classified section any more because now I have reason to...

Appreciate the feedback. You don’t think 8-12k would be insulting, though? I was thinking if everything checks out that around 14-17k would be an ok deal based on what I’ve seen in the past 3 months since I started really shopping.

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/gilbert-1993-toyota-land-cruiser/7510589397.html I’m gonna go check this one out today since it’s the nearest to me clean example I’ve seen in a few months. Anything I should especially look out for? The autocheck came back clean, AZ truck since new. The...
