Hey guys,

I'm selling my 1997 Lexus LX450 with 226K'ish miles on it after removing some of the parts I had previously built it up to because I lost my job and needed the money, unfortunately. I'm asking $6,000 obo for the truck with the below mods. For someone wanting to build a great trail rig on 39's-42's, this is the perfect beginning of a truck with a lot of high dollar mods already installed and ready to go. I daily drive it, and have since I bought it, which it's fine for, outside of the gas mileage. I need to get a prius to save money, so if anyone has a used prius, let me know what you have, and maybe we can work out a trade.

1) 5.29 Gears Installed
2) Stock Tires & Wheels
3) Fenders are trimmed (37's clear with no suspension lift)
4) Custom front and rear bumpers partially done (remaining tubing to complete them for cost of material)
5) Sliders partially done (remaining tubing to complete them for cost of material)
6) CDL Switch & 7 Pin Mod
7) Roger Brown 2" Body Lift Installed
8) Custom Raised Exhaust & Muffler for Clearance
9) Brake Controller - $250 New
10) Landtank Seat Extensions
11) Slee Offroad HD Tie Rod & Drag Link
12) Slee Offroad HD Ball Joints
13) Longfield Chromoly 4 Piece Super Axles
14) Marlin Crawler HD Inner Axle Seal & Knuckle Service Kit

If you have any questions, I prefer you email me at chrisrademacher at fastmail dot fm

Thanks,

Chris

Sure, the tires/wheels are sold and the rear axles are sold for sure. The winch is supposed to be sold, but I've yet to see the Paypal on that yet. There's a couple of people close to making a decision on the lift, as well, so it just depends on what all you want with it, I suppose. Right now, based on what's definitely sold already, I'd take $7,500 for the remaining truck right now, which is the following:

- Slee Offroad Complete 6" Lift - $3,465 New - $1732.50 Added to sale price I will sell this separately. I'm pulling it off last weekend of Jan 2011.
- CDL Switch & 7 Pin Mod - $68 New - $34 Added to sale price
- 5.29 Gears, Master Kits, & Solid Pinion Spacers - $1045 New - $522.50 Added to sale price
- Roger Brown 2" Body Lift - $140 New - $70 Added to sale price
- Custom Raised Exhaust & Muffler for Clearance - $400 New - $200 Added to sale price
- Custom Front & Rear Bumpers - Not Completed - Additional tubing available to complete for material cost
- Custom Sliders - Not Completed - Additional pre-bent tubing available to complete for material cost
- Custom Brake Controller - $250 - Free
- Landtank Seat Extensions - $200 New - $100 Added to sale price
- Slee Offroad HD Tie Rod & Drag Link - $220 New - $110 Added to sale price
- Slee Offroad HD Ball Joints - $200 New - $100 Added to sale price
- Longfield Chromoly 4 Piece Super Axles - $750 New - $375 Added to the sale price
- Marlin Crawler HD Inner Axle Seal & Knuckle Service Kit - $141 New - Free
- Sony CD Receiver w/ Bluetooth, remote phone jack, Ipod USB and mini-3.5mm jack - $330.92 New - $165.46 Added to sale price I will sell this separately and will be pulled the last weekend of Jan 2011
- Radio Antennae - New in Box - Free with truck - Will sell separately for 75% of whatever it costs new shipped
- Stock Tires and Wheels - Free with the truck - $400 plus shipping if sold separately (Probably not available anymore, because I'll be putting them back on the truck)
- I still have the 3rd Row Seats sitting in my garage and will go with the vehicle when sold and not sold separately, unless someone makes me a great deal
- Raised Differential Breathers
- Fenders trimmed - Rears are complete - Fronts are trimmed but need to be welded up - I have the metal to complete it and will be sent with the truck

All the above for $7,500 is a steal, honestly. I think I'm being pretty fair for this truck, but money talks, so feel free to make a reasonable offer you're willing to pay. First one with the money gets it, but that's the same for the parts, as well, so depending on when someone buys it will depend on what's left on the truck.

Lift is ready to be boxed up and sold, and the truck is ready to be sold, as well. Somebody please buy all this from me ASAP! :)

Hey man, it includes all the parts listed on Slee's site plus the extra driveshaft, so you'll have both high angle driveshafts designed for the 6" of lift. As far as figuring out a shipping quote, I'd say it isn't cheap, because with everything it's going to be in multiple boxes and it weighs quite a bit. But, how's $1,800 shipped to a business address sound? I've got to box and ship the rest of the stuff that's sold today, so just let me know. I could probably get the lift out separately, maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.

If the lift sells, I believe all that needs to sell now is the truck. Somebody make me a reasonable offer...I need to get it gone, so I can get a car. It will have the chromo front axles, 5.29 gears, fenders trimmed, and you can literally clear 37's without any lift and no bump stop extensions. If it were me, I'd go a different route with this truck from here making it a truggy on 39's, and it would be pretty sick. It has everything drivetrain wise that you'd need, minus the rear chromo axles which sold separately.

Hey Robert,

The front lower control arms are the original design from Slee, not the latest version they make. All the bushings are in great shape. The shocks work fine but don't look great, honestly. But the valving is good in them for sure. All the rest of the parts are in good shape. Keep in mind I'm not selling this lift because I want to, that's for sure. It would still be on my trick if I hadn't lost my job.

Chris you sead thet i pay by paypall needs to be a gift from a balance.So do I need to put money into my pay pall or can I just send it via paypall??:confused::confused::confused:
I think it needs to either be from your checking or savings account through paypal or an existing balance within your paypal account. If you pay via credit card through paypal I'll be charged. Make sense?

;) thanks Chris .will the lift have all this stuff plus the extra drive shaft?? 2 x SOF5FM Front Coil Springs
2 x SOF5RM Rear Coil Springs
Could be replaced with SOF5RH Heavy Springs depending on load)
2 x N60070L Shocks
2 x N60071L Shocks
1 x SD24 Steering Damper
1 x Slee Front Control Arms with Urethane Bushings
1 x Double Cardan drive shaft. x 2
1 x Front Sway-bar Drop Kit
1 x Rear Sway-bar Drop it

1 x Front Panhard Rod
1 x Rear Panhard Rod
1 x Set Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms
2 x Breather Extensions
1 x Emergency Brake Cable drop bracket :wrench: how long do you thing it will take to install?
 
It would include all of that, except the steering dampener, and bump stop drops. It will take a full day to install, or a weekend depending on how used to wrenching you are.

I do have to tell you that I may have a buyer on the complete truck with the lift that emailed roughly at the same time you did, but I have to see if he's serious or not about it. He wants the truck plus the lift, so I can't unfortunately pass up the opportunity to sell it all. I hope you understand, and I'll keep you posted. I hate to do this, but I have to take care of my family first and foremost...I hope you understand. I should know something somewhat soon, and I'll let you know. If he bails, you're still first in line for the lift.
