Service Performed and Parts Replaced:
I'll cover everything that I can recall that's been replaced on the vehicle during my ownership. I don't have the service history book in front of me but I DO have a complete service history notebook that is about two inches thick. The first owner spared no expense when servicing this truck and used Lexus of Glendale for most of his needs.
I do see in the service history that Lexus replaced the transmission at 78K miles. The owner complained of "noise" but they were unable to duplicate the issue and replaced the transmission with a Lexus unit. Go figure. I have retained all other receipts during my ownership.
I've done a complete tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor and all filters and belts. I use only Mobil1 or Amsoil synthetics in the engine, transmission, transfer case and differentials. I've replaced and have receipts (mainly from CDan at American Toyota) for:
Alternator
Radiator
All Cooling Hoses
Water Pump
Thermostat
Fan shroud
Starter
Wheel bearings and seals
Complete Front Axle - Birf Job was performed last summer (15K miles maybe)
Most vacuum hoses
PHH (Yes, that pesky heater hose was replaced in the last 10K miles)
Both O2 sensors
New rear hatch and hood struts
Front Rotors and pads
Rear Rotors and pads
All Tie Rod Ends Replaced
Dozens of other little items that I can't currently recall but are in the service history.
No, the head gasket has not been replaced and it is not leaking.
Before I purchase any vehicle, I always have a pre purchase inspection performed at a quality facility. I welcome any potential buyer to do the same and can recommend a few different shops in my area. It is up to the buyer to contact and pay the facility but I can assist with getting the vehicle there. The 285/75/16 BFG AT's have at least 50% tread remaining.
There are some scuffs and scratches here and there on the bumpers. I'd be happy to take additional photos for a perspective buyer. Besides the scratches or scrapes, the paint is in excellent condition and gets waxed/polished twice a year. The interior is in good shape but the driver’s seat shows signs of wear and if I were to keep the vehicle, I'd probably replace the driver’s seat foam and leather.
The only items that aren't functioning at 100% are: Drivers side rear door window will roll down but takes a very long time to roll up without help. It will only roll up in one inch increments if you don't assist it. The other item that needs attention is the Passenger side rear door will sometimes require pushing the unlock or lock button twice to unlock the door. You can see the unlock lever on the door move halfway on the first attempt. The second will finish the operation.
I'm asking $9400 OBO for the Lexus. I may be interested in a partial trade for a 2002-2004 100 Series Land Cruiser if equipped with a rear air conditioner and third row seating; which is why I'm selling my 80 Series.
