I bought the grille in the classifieds here (had to look for a while). You also have to swap for LC lights or the grille doesn't fit. I don't remember how much I paid. I ended up selling the Lexus grille & lights so it offset the cost.

Sold - thanks

SOLD - Thanks

There has been no trans. work other than routine fluid changes.

I should have mentioned, for now I'm just looking to do an outright sale (no trades). Thanks

SOLD EDIT - The Cruiser is sold -Thanks I am selling my locked expedition equipped 1997 Lexus LX450. It runs perfectly and looks great. As you can see in the pic's I have “re-badged” it with Land Cruiser emblems and grille. I am located in central Michigan. I am an engineer and LC...

In the past year the seller has 788 positive feedbacks and 1 negative. If I had ordered the lights I would give them time and then file a Paypal chargeback just before the 45-day maximum period.

The crappy Lexus CD changer ended up being the problem. I unplugged it and the load dropped back down. I should have looked into it a long time ago. I had hoped to rip it all out and replace with a LC console but haven't been able to find one.

Thanks, this is helpful. It gives me a place to start.

On the LX450 the cig. lighter is on a separate fuse from the radio. There is a 20A "radio" fuse. On the earlier 80's the radio was on the cig. lighter fuse I think. I'm going to bite the bullet and get a factory EWD manual for the '97 LX450.

One bump here. Anyone know what else other components are on the "radio" fuse circuit in a '97?

I did my axle job just before the Marlin seals became popular here. I have been irritated that I used the "inferior" OEM seal once I saw the Marlins. Now I'm relieved that I used OEM. :)

My guess is your motor if neither switch works. I had an intermittent problem and it ended up being my motor. I was able to replace the motor with a cheap ($50 or so) motor from Autozone. There will be an old thread of mine (plus many more) if you search.

I doubt that we will see it sell for $22k. The current price means nothing as it is "reserve not met" and people play games with them all the time. It looks like a decent vehicle with some cool mod's but it's still a case of a dealer with unrealistic expectations. Put it out for a high price...

That's a $5000 Cruiser to most.
