    I think I found my Cruiser. I'd love a nod of approval before going ahead.

    Congratulations! I just missed an 03LC with 175k for 12.9k... The seller didn't list the milage on cargurus so when I was searching over the last few weeks it was always at the end of the results and I stopped looking in the mid 200k so I never even saw it. Damn... well one day I will find the...

    Hey good luck right back to you. Just a small update. I found a 4th and 5th gen 4runner in the area, the truck that initially made me realize that the outback just wasn't enough truck... well hell it's not a truck so there's always that. Anyway, I checked out the 5th gen a few days ago and the...

    I've decided to hold off on the LX and wait until a 03-07 LC comes on the market that's in my price range and in solid condition. I would want to eventually switch the suspension, which as far as I can garner will run around a 1k, plus the cost of wheels, redoing the bolts and other bits, and...

    Alright, alright, alright... So i went down to the Bronx two days ago and saw the LX470. It was an impressive truck, the second 100 series I've really looked at up close and I further understood why these LC/LX are so highly valued. This one had a few more issues than mentioned on net. There...

    Okay, so there was definitely frame damage or could this still be worth going forward on? I'm driving out in a few minutes to see it and I'll be sure to get every possible angle under the truck and the consensus of everyone here before going forward.

    Really. okay that's big. The car has no accidents on it's carfax. they're asking 12k so it seems lower than what others are asking during the current market.

    Thanks for the input. So you have a 05LC w the same milage as the 05LX I'm looking at today. Good to hear the LX may be a possible contender. Yeah, I know the golden road area. I thru-hiked the Appalachian in 14' and spent a few nights car camping in my outback around ABOL last month. If the LX...

    Great, thank you. I was actually planning to spend a week or two out on the Golden Road as a first trip in the LX if things work out. If it happens, maybe we could meet up sometime. I'd love any input on how to bring her up to shape.

    Alright, thanks for all the recommendations. I'm heading up around noon eastern time today. Currently my plan is to get under the truck with a flashlight and really look around, taking down the spare as well. Is there a resource somewhere on here that would show what an acceptable, workable...

    Y'all I'm seriously hoping this truck turns out to be solid. I would love to drive one of these. Having trouble sleeping, almost like it's christmas tomorrow to drive out at see it.

    Yeah, thank you. I'll upload better photos tomorrow around noon, hopefully some on here can give me a better idea of what I'm looking at. The truck is located in the Bronx if anyone in New York wants to grab a beer and give some input. With it being substantially more affordable than the LC...
