Builds 1997 LX450 Ute (1 Viewer)

Are you over here on the coast-side now?

Damn, I’d like to see yours up close.
Yours, Baconbits, and wide 40‘s / FZJ45’ed -platforms are all my favs, pretty much in that order.

If you’re in **my Lakewood** ala’ Seattle - me/me & the boxer always stomp your way.

Still envy yours, waiting to find a late / OBD2 -flopped rig with a decent roof to do a crewcab-mod stretch wheelbase.

A Land-Taco - if you will, haha

This thread is about the most inspirational that I've ever come across. As a guy who has also never welded but wants to learn I love your attitude. Now to actually just jump in and do it!

Thanks for the documentation and awesomeness!

Ha, thanks man. I just grabbed a welder and figured it out. I’m currently in the process of wiring up a 220v outlet and looking to step up my welding game so I can do more structural stuff. I need to stretch the frame on this and I want to do some things on my 40.

Being able to cut, shape, and weld metal is a game changer. From easy repairs on things like my window run to making simple brackets for things, it is super useful.

On the chopping block for $4k for mudders.

Crappy life stuff.

For Sale - Washington: 1997 LX450 ute chop ($4k)

The Ute is for sale, $4k to mud. It’s on CL for $5k. It’s a hack job that looks cool from certain angles and certain distances. Washington title shows rebuilt from an earlier accident in its life. Nittos have less than 10k on them. Warn M12000, IPOR skid, Aussie locker in the rear. Liner needs...

Shoot! If we weren't trying to buy a house I would pick this up in a second!

Just found this thread. Sad to see you had to let it go after all that.
