I live on the East Coast now. Never updated my profile.

I know it’s not on the verge of falling apart, but it annoys me and if it’s not cost prohibitive to make it perfect, I’d consider a nice resto.

Allright, allright. Here you go.

I think I got what I was looking for here. I'm not gonna go through the hassle of posting pics. Appreciate all the input.

I never knew about the Joe Rogan 80 - that ICON guy's lame if you ask me. I have 2 buddies with ICON FJ4x and they aren't holding up as well as expected - at least not for the $150k they paid. Plus I watched him berate the suspension on my beloved Geländewagen because it was archaic - I guess...

My 80's undercarriage is a rust bucket and the body has a few spots that are starting to bubble up. I love my truck and have spent quite a bit of time and money customizing it - lift, snorkel, bumper, winch, etc. I have no intentions of selling it, but these imperfections drive me nuts to...

Thanks for the input. The truck is in great condition and has legit service records. The fact that it was likely towed is my only concern. Too many negative views on towing has me back to searching for a newer 200. This truck needs to be 100% reliable as it will be at a vacation home - any...

I agree, outdoorsman. Mileage is mileage. In a LX470, I'm not worried about the motor or tranny, I'm worried about the cost of replacing the components that wear based on mileage. This truck has 75k miles - but if it was towed regularly, it may have covered 2 (or 3) times that. The...

Hmmm. Two completely different opinions assuming they popped the transfer case into N. It is a very low mileage truck asking premium $$$ and likely being towed is the only reason I didn't buy it immediately as I wasn't sure what kind of wear and tear, if any, this would put on the drivetrain...

I'm interested in a 470 that was presumably towed behind a motorhome. Dealer pics show there is a front tow system on the truck. Dealer is not sure the previous owner towed it, but that's all we can assume based on the aftermarket equipment. How would this work - just pop it in N and pull it...

Most people seem to think Line-X looks nicer over time. However, it also seems to be the general consensus that if sprayed hot and both use their top of the line product, they are pretty much identical. Sounds like Rhino had to step up their game recently to match the quality of Line-X.

I've read enough threads to know that I'll surely break many of the clips, but assumed they could easily be replaced and reinstalled. Is that not the case? As far as the gaskets, black is great as that is the color of the Line-X. Please shoot me a link to purchase them? Completely agree...

I just started a thread on Rhino Lining my "cladding" on my LX the other day and after further research, I decided Line-X suited me better. However, the closest Line-X sprayer told me it would be easier and better to remove the cladding, Line-X it, and re-install. Something the next closest...
