Maybe check with some Land Cruiser specialists in Germany or UK, they sometimes have better connections for getting Toyota heritage parts than regular dealers.
The LX will definitely be way more comfortable for daily driving and road trips compared to that rough G-wagon ride, plus parts are cheaper and easier to find.
The maintenance records look solid and having the 3rd row seats is a big plus - with that recent timing belt and AHC working properly I'd say you're in the higher end of that price range.
Hey man! I see that thread is old, but I do have an answer (hope it will inspire other members on here). I am currently on the look for a 2014-2015 LX570/LC200 and was researching the competition (QX56/QX80 and Armada to be exact). They didn't seem to be a good fit for overlanding but after...
I had BFG T/A KO2s on my ex Wrangler Rubicon - no regrets, but I don't have much to compare with. As for the tread life, I'd say rotating tires periodically really helps.
That's exactly what I thought. I am currently looking for an LX and already checked a couple with about 100k miles...they looked pretty fresh. It also depends on the previous owner(s). How well was it taken care of and so on.
