A few years after selling my 98 4runner and dealing with suv withdrawal, I finally bought a 1999 lx470 with 105k miles on it couple of months ago. Single owner from Houston that was well maintained at dealership until about 2 years ago. My cousin bought it for me after inspecting it and he did some baseline fluid changes.
Special thanks to Paul (pfran42) for guiding me through the shopping phase and odessit for the free carfax reports.
I got the TB and WP done before I drove it to Atlanta from Houston.
I use it as a DD and love the truck. Put in a little over 3k miles already. I plan to use it for outings with kids and wife. Maybe some long road trips to NM. Not real good with DIY but got this far with help from forum postings here.
Did an oil and filter change
Removed running boards and de-blinged it a bit.
Cleaned throttle body
Installed new air filter
Might have to rebuild cv boots since passenger side clamp has come off and lot grease. Will have to Gt. Second opinion on it nice I m new o this.
I will post some poser shots this weekend.
