    For Sale - LX450 Third Seat Set in Montana

    Yes, they are available. Regarding belts and mounting hardware, I have everything that was on the truck, although mounting screws -- seat-to-truck -- may still be in the back of the truck. Having written that, I just did a quick check on the seats, which are folded and stacked, I see no seat...

    For Sale - LX450 Third Seat Set in Montana

    CruisinMT: No pictures are available. The seats are stored. I do not have easy availability for inserting stock photos of an LX450 with rear seats installed. I can say the third seats are not like the second bench seat. The single seats affix to each of LX's sides, similar in look, anyway, to...

    For Sale - LX450 Third Seat Set in Montana

    Many thanks for your kind remarks. Since the closest city is Missoula, Montana, the number of LX450 owners is limited. I think it's only reasonable to price something I'm not using that someone who can use the seats will be able to justify the purchase.

    For Sale - LX450 Third Seat Set in Montana

    I have a set of leather third seats from my 1997 LX450 (FZJ). Seats are a taupe-tan-beige color. I removed the seats at time of purchase. They have been in storage, out of the elements. Other than being dusty, they appear unused. I am in Missoula County in western Montana. Because of their...

    What rims fit FZJ/LX 450s?

    ace10: You'd be banking wrongly. No errors in calculations. No errors in methodology. No vortex thingie to the best of my knowledge. And I do not hook a winch to the back of a long haul truck headed where I want to go. . . . Oh, yes, I haven't yet tried the cruise control to see whether I'll...

    What rims fit FZJ/LX 450s?

    I have a 1997 LX 450. It has Toyota 16x8JJ 0 alloy wheels and Dunlop GrandTrek 270/75/R16 tires. For my driving, significantly larger rims or tires is not necessary. I need to buy four rims for studded snow tires. What rims -- for any other vehicle, as well as those made specifically for...

    Anyone Disable the Passenger Airbag?

    I believe the airbag's sensor will not allow airbag to inflate until 15 mph -- that is, your vehicle's speed, not its impact speed, must exceed 14 mph at impact. Why is no one concerned about the sodium azide powder that is combusted to open airbags? I have been told that this compound is...

    Best sliders for an 80 - opinions wanted

    Forgive my ignorance. I believe sliders are intended to replace running boards? What is a slider? What is its function? Why does Toyota furnish FZJ80/LX450 with running boards rather than sliders?

    How to store fuel long term?

    1997 LX450, 73.8K. I tend to drive sporadically -- that is, I'll drive tanksful of fuel, then the truck will sit for months. I'm concerned about cracked fuel decomposing/reverting to something extremely inefficient or, perhaps, harmful. I have a friend who owns several piston aircraft...

    MPG???? What are you all getting?

    Am I alone in the universe? Having finally undone most of the harm from its previous owner, I have driven my 97 LX450 (no lockers) just under 500 miles. Odometer reads about 73.8K miles. I have not driven off road yet. I have not towed anything yet. The first fill up occurred during Montana's...

    Seat cover options for the 80?

    I queried Wet Okole months ago. When they sent samples plus available colors, they wrote specifically that they did not make fitted covers for FZJ80/LX450 trucks. Several people have said Wet Okole DOES make fitted covers. So the only explanation that makes sense is that the covers have been...

    Seat cover options for the 80?

    Mike: I've been looking for seat covers for my 97 LX450 since I got it out of the shop -- I trusted the seller. Mistake. Mistake. mickey_rubicon and I are in the same boat. I, too, have been unable to find seat covers custom fitted to my LX450's leather seats. I strongly prefer covers...

    How to repair door lock?

    My LX450 has power door locks. The right front lock functions manually. My mechanic tells me that the lock's actuator is broken, that it is not repairable, that the door lock will function indefinitely manually. This is not a major problem; it is an inconvenience. If I CAN fix it reasonably...

    Long Range Aux Tanks From OZ? (possible group buy)

    Hi guys. Sorry I'm late to the party. Stripping away non-essentials, Mangler, have you a complete parts solution? A complete parts and assembler solution? If yes to either, please identify total cost for each. If yes to either, how do I join the group purchase? Can parts be [drop]...

    Fuel capacity-tire carrier queries interconnected?

    Montana Cruiser: Were Toyotas Only prices fair? I can compare their prices to the local Toyota-Lexus dealer's estimate. Much lower. Were repairs inexpensive? I never asked myself the question. When the seller in St. Paul refused to make things as we discussed and refused to send the...

    Fuel capacity-tire carrier queries interconnected?

    My 1997 LX450 is nearly in the condition I thought I bought it -- I have learned an EXPENSIVE lesson that I thought I knew: Never trust anybody you don't have to trust; never take any chances you don't have to take; and people from St. Paul, Minnesota -- well, we won't go there. *** I want...

    What studded snow tires?

    Many thanks for all these data. A question: Are there any acceptable-for-you studded run-flat snow tires?

    What studded snow tires?

    I've gotta preface my query with some information nobody mentioned to me about auto transport brokers and actual delivery of the truck. I bought a 1997 LX450 the first week in October -- that is, my cashier's check was delivered. I received bill of sale, title, etc. "Everything's going...
