GOLD Star
1996 LX 450 Triple locked,
| I Paid $19k has 180,000 miles. Talked with the Owner for a long time. Had Financial issues so thats why he dad to sell. Wanted to know if this was a wise investment. Interior is excellent including the dash. Would appreciate comments. It will sit next to my Wife's 1984 FJ60 Bone stock and original (She was 2nd owner at 20k miles and currenlty has 252k miles). I'll post pictures after it arrives. Plan on changing out head gasket using ARB Stud Kit, Roof Rack and a winch...and a lot more. Previous owner had most of the work done at Slee Offroad in Golden, CO. He had over $24,000.00 invested in this vehicle. Below is a list of what has been done. NEW ARB front bumper NEW Additional Front Driving Lights NEW Turn Signals NEW 315/75 R16 Tires NEW RCV High Strength Front Axles NEW Wheel Bearings on all 4 corners NEW All Seals on both Front and Rear Axles NEW Toyota Brake Pads and Rotors NEW OME Heavy J Springs NEW OME L Shocks NEW OME Steering Stabilizer NEW Slee Sway Bar Drop Blocks NEW Slee Extended Stainless Steel Brake Lines NEW ABS Relocation Kit NEW Part Time 4WD Kit NEW Yukon 4.88 Gears Front and Rear NEW Slee A/C Dryer Skid Plate NEW Front 20mm Spring Spacers NEW Lock Out Hubs NEW Toyota Rear Driveshaft NEW OME Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms NEW Center Diff Lock Switch NEW Slee Light Switches NEW Bump It Offroad Rear Bumper with Spare Tire Swingout NEW Starter NEW Rear Work Light NEW High Lift Jack NEW Weather Tech Floormats Front and Rear NEW Seat Covers Front and Rear NEW Alternator and A/C Belts NEW All Tie Rod Ends (Toyota) NEW Slee High Strength Tie Rod and Drag Link NEW Front Windshield NEW Air Filter Everything works as it should including the antenna and D drive light on the dash. It still has the Lexus phone in the center console. The differentials were re-geared by Slee and after 500 miles the fluid was drained, checked and refilled. The transfer case has new fluid after the part-time 4wd kit was put in. I changed the transmission fluid and engine oil. The brake fluid was flushed when the new extended lines were put on. I had Slee Offroad check the front and rear differential lockers and everything is functioning properly. I installed the center diff lock switch. Now to put it into 4wd you lock in the front hubs and lock the center differential. When it is in 2wd it helps with gas mileage and acceleration, and the front end doesn't turn resulting in no wear. I took the front seats out and cleaned under them. While I had the seats out, I cleaned and conditioned the leather and then put seat covers on them. The middle row and back seats have been cleaned and conditioned also with the middle row getting seat covers. I am selling this vehicle because I don't really have time to use it for what it is built for, and no one in my family is really interested in it. I have never even taken it off road. I will include all of the receipts that I have and any extra parts, including the parts removed from the transfer case to make it part-time 4 wheel drive. I also have a shop manual that will come with it. The front springs are 850J and the rear springs are 863J with a 20 mm spacer on the front. The shocks are 60070L on the front and 60071L on the rear. This gives it a 4 1/4 inch lift in the front and a 5 inch lift in the rear. I also flushed and refilled the radiator. It has 2 sets of keys with the key fobs both working with new batteries. No check engine light. No rips or tears in the leather seats. All adjustments work on front seats. Comes with the original owners manual. The dash is perfect with no cracks. |
You get to buy a pre-built rig which is nice and does save you money. I imagine it's hard to find decent cruisers on the islands.
