Less scrolling please. And which truck are you selling?
 
These are my personal trucks. I am selling both the 1996 and the 1997.
 
I think it's safe to say you don't need to post every copy paste oem spec.....


Seems like your trying hard for that huge payday
 
I'm not sure if I'm interested in whatever is being sold. LONG description from website.

Just tell us your mods, real mods, and you'll get more traction IMHO.

Lots more pics, less text.
 
Need pics of Cupholder for sure.
 
Those are my real mods....lost of pics if you search for either a 1996 Lexus LX-450 or Lexus 1997 LX-450 on E-Bay. IH8MUD does not seem to let me post more than once pic.
 
Where do the hp/torque numbers come from? Has this build been dyno'd? If so, are those numbers at the crank or wheels?
 
Thank you Great Horned Owl...can you help me with my other listing as well? The Green 1996 Lexus LX-450? I am not sure I am allowed to post links here so I am hesitant to do so. You seem like a moderator. Please let me know. Thank you.
 
You should be able to list the others no problem. When you list them on here there are options to categorize as "craigslist" or "Ebay". Just make sure choose the right category.

This LX probably should have been listed as Ebay since you have it listed there instead of an outright sale here in the forums.
 
SOLD!
