-------
1997 LX450. Approx 142xxx miles.
The
and I are expecting twins in a few months.
I bought it a year and a half ago with 125k.
-I have completed all fluid baselines except power steering fluid.
-started to have a minor valve gasket leak this past November so took it in to local Toyota dealer and had valve cover gasket replaced.
-Prior owner had all service work done at Dealer. I have all the maintenance records that were available from lexus.com as well as the maintenance records since I bought it.
-I did wreck the vehicle February 2010. Relplaced the right fender, right lights, center radiator support, radiator, replaced the left park light. The inner wheel well / apron extension pulled away on the front corners. I put them back as best I could be did not take the time to reweld them as I know some people are cutting them out anyway for larger tires. I added the front non-winch arb after the wreck instead of the tin can bumper. The gaps on the hood are slightly off but didn't bother me enough to do additional repairs. I've driven the vehicle almost 20K miles since the accident with no issues. Even made a trip last summer to Grand Canyon and back. Average a little over 16mpg. I'm told due to larger tire size the spedo may off by about 5%.
-The driver door shell is buckled. Was this way when I bought it. Still shuts and seals so I never did anything about it.
-minor damage to the factory running boards from participating in the Lonestar Toyota Jamboree this year. Should have taken them off but w/o sliders I figured better the running boards than the rocker panels.
- Center, front and rear diff locks.
-I did the cdl pin 7 mod and switch.
-non-winch front arb with Hella driving lights ( used Slee aux light harness and OEM light switch).
-New leather seat covers front and center rows ( bought leather kit here on mud ). I have the 3rd row jump seats with the original leather which are still in great shape.
-Installed OME steering stabiliser and OME 60018 / 60020 front and rear shocks.
-BFG 285/75/16 REVO 2's installed at approx 128-130K.
-All interior lights changed to V-LED's as well as taillights, park lights.
-Headlight low beam bulbs upgraded to HIR Philips bulbs. I believe identical to the John Deere bulb option
-HELA driving lights just installed about 3 months ago with SLEE aux light harness.
Engine is still strong and runs great. No known issues or leaks. Oil changed regularly. Diff's work perfectly.
Maintenance done since purchase:
-Dif fluids changed to Mobile 1
-Coolant flush done with Toyota RED ( still have several gallons of red that will go with the vehicle).
-Transmission fluid flush done approx 10K miles ago with Toyota ATF
-Brake fluid flush done by local dealer
-New air filter
-new wiper blades
-Installed OME steering stabiliser and OME 60018 / 60020 front and rear shocks.
-BFG 285/75/16 REVO 2's installed at approx 128-130K
-A/C recharged
-Replaced drive/alternator belts with Toyota belts
-Greased knuckles and grease zerts
Feel free to PM if any additional questions or to set up a time to look at it.
I have a clear title on it.
Thanks!
