Divorce forces sale. I bought this about a year ago and put maybe 2500 miles on it.
I'd like to get $16,000. It's worth it. The former owner was very meticulous and I've included the link to his previous for sale add. You can find the pictures there. It's located in Turlock, CA. https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj80-fzj80-lx450-hdj81/678659-1997-lx450-feeler.html
Mileage -
174,xxx This will go up a little as I do drive it at least once a week to keep everything rolling around.
Suspension -
Slee 4", with Slee castor plates, and Landtank extended HD rear lower arms.
Armor -
Slee Off Road Shortbus front bumper
4x4 Labs Rear bumper with tire carrier, hilift jack mount, 3 gas can or cooler holder and ladder
Metaltech sliders
Iron Pig Off Road skid plate.
Engine -
TRD Supercharger installed at approximately 145k by Robbie A. (Powderpig) along with PM service of replacing the headgasket & rebuilding the head. At the same time the fuel filter and several vsv's were replaced curing the PITA P401 code. The radiator was replaced with a new old style one several years ago along with all the cooling system components water pump, hoses, etc. The PHH has been bypassed with a full length Samco hose. Haven't had a problem with it since then.
There is a Landtank MAF unit on there too.
A Safari Snorkel was also installed.
The exhaust was upgraded to 3" tubing and hi flow catalytic converters. The main muffler is a flowmaster and the secondary was is something else to reduce the resonating and drone which it does quite well. I do have the original catalytic converters and will include those as well. These aren't the original 1997 ones, but were replaced about a year or so before I supercharged the engine as someone came by and cut my original ones off.
Gears -
There are 5.29s installed with the factory e-lockers. The axles and brakes were serviced at the same time with all bearings, pads, and rotors being replaced at that time. The Pin 7 mod was also done with the push button switch on the dash put in.
Fuel- I installed an OEM subtank with George's ECU. It works perfectly.
Tires -
Toyo MT 315 75 R16 with a lot of tread left. They have been siped for extra traction for driving during the winter to Reno.
Interior -
The steering wheel was replaced with a new one from Shane (AAtlas) as well as new leather for the front & middle seats. The fronts were installed, but the middle row was not. I also have a new piece of leather for the center console that was not installed yet. The front and middle row seats are covered with Specter Off Road Tough Duck covers in tan that match pretty well. The third row of seats have been removed, but are in Specter Off Road storage bags to prevent them from being damaged or getting dirty.
There is a Scan Gauge mounted above the mirror. The visors also stay up on there own still. There is a custom sunshade included too.
The stock radio was removed and a Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD receiver was installed. I still have the stock radio and will include it. The CD changer is still installed, but does not work with the aftermarket radio. I have 2 CD changer magazines as well.
The floormats are all original OEM, but the fronts are starting to show a little age. The middle row looks new and there is an extra one included. The rear cargo area mat looks brand new and is covered up with a rubber mat. I doubt the carpet in the back has ever seen the sun or dirt for that matter.
I had a Clifford alarm installed. They, the shop, told me the factory alarm is still there, but just not active. It was working at the time of the new one being installed. The Clifford has a remote start feature which is nice in the winter time.
Spare Parts & Extra things -
I am also including the factory service manual, the factory electrical diagram manual, and a factory parts catalog. Also included is the dreaded Haynes manual.
Extra parts that I have are 7 Lexus center caps. There are 5 on the vehicle currently. All would need to be refinished. I do have the paint & clearcoat for these and will be including that too. Extra belts, some new, some used. Oil Drain plug gaskets, allen wrench drain plugs, more drain plug gaskets, factory front tow hooks, clear protection pieces for the stock headlights, excellent condition Lexus left & right headlight units, the original silencer exhaust piece, driveshafts, an old power antenna unit, and a ton of other things too.
The hi lift jack that is mounted on the back is also included.
The lug nuts are all locking ones and there are 4 more locking ones which 3 are for the spare and 1 is for the jack. I've also got a warn xp 9500 winch that I've never installed.
