Lmao, I promise to preserve it with Fluid Film! I appreciate all the insight, gents, esp the alternative CarFax link. I also occasionally scan the Cars and Bids and BAT...to be honest, I was losing hope and bid on an '89 Isuzu Trooper on Sun. I didnt win...who knew they also held so much...

Oh I meant to ask. For $15k-$17k, what would you look for in a 100 series LX or LC? 200k-250k miles from the S or SW states? Would that amount of miles be concerning? FWIW, this was the ad that had the undercarriage video...

You guys are super supportive, thanks so much everyone!

Yeah I can’t imagine living in an area where the undercarriage on cars isn’t a sea of brown and bolts doesn’t require multiple techniques to loosen, but then I worry about being able to spot flood cars from the hurricane prone states.

Well thank you for the detailed response. I actually flew down to DC last weekend only to find out the LC had been rear ended with ensuing rust bubbles in the tailgate and misaligned body panels inside and outside, something the seller didn’t disclose in the ad. I thought I’d go local but...

Hi, I’m thinking of picking up this 01 LX from MA and am not familiar with what to look for. I asked for undercarriage pics and the owner ended up sharing a video…do yall spot any red flags? There seems to be some oil leak and rust/paint flaking but not sure what I’m looking at overall...

Ahhh ok I checked out the VIN on the Lexus website but the AHC is a vastly different animal than the FZJ that I had and didn’t recognize the implications from an inadequate swap. Thanks for having my back gents! I’ll keep looking.

I asked about the torsion bars but the dealer didnt know and not knowing what it looked like, it was the blind leading the blind. I test drove it today and the truck felt smooth and refined until we took a curve coming off the exit on the highway and a pronounced vibration was perceptible until...

Hi guys, does the stance of this LX look a bit sketch…the front seems lower than the back? The dealer tells me the PO performed the AHC conversion but the brand of the shocks are from Gabriel so I’m not holding much hope that it was a decent effort.

Ahhh thanks gents. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi guys. I completed an 8 hr road trip from CT to ME on Mon and come to find my brake line leaking, with the brake fluid reservoir nearly a quarter tank. A local mechanic replaced 30’ of brake line only to find the brake pedal still spongy and advised the master brake cylinder needed to be...

How much to ship to Hartford CT?

Thanks John, glwts.

Hi do you know if this will fit an FZJ80? Thanks, Rick
