It is a common 200 issue for the center diff lock light to flash when it is cold if it does not get used. You can drive a bit, turn the truck off and on and it goes away. The key is to use periodically in 4lo and lock center diff. Most LX owners never use either. I looked at one that the dealer unplugged the diff lock to prevent it from flashing. Not sure it what is listed is related but sounds likely.

My 2013 did it some and then the weeklong snowmaggedden with lots of center diff use cleared it up. I believe the center diff lock actuator is tested on start up and if gummed up, it causes an indicator light.

Also can’t you just lift it if AHC shot?

Yeah for sure but the dealer won't care about that. If all of what I found is accurate they will need to come off about 10k for me to purchase. Not sure there is any chance theyd be in for that.

I thought the same. It was corporate owned. What you also don't see is evidently 10k ago it had a rodent problem and they ate through some wiring. I was going to call Lexus to find out how they repair those items. Whether its a full replacement or if they splice it.

Man. I had a friend that happened to and his truck was always a nightmare after

Oh yeah? Ok I’ll note that. I’m still gonna go see it and drive it but I’m less than enthusiastic about it now.

That would make it a javelina.

Is this going to be the WarPig hauler?

 

[BMThiker]

Yeah the wiring harness issue is a red flag. Definitely ask and inspect.

 

[Mrsjynx]

Is this going to be the WarPig hauler?

Oh no, will need a truck for the gooseneck. This is a bigger kid/dog hauler and overlander.

Well, that escalated quickly

Yes, yes it did. I got 2 links to local 570s for sale followed by "can we put my third row back in" and "I have a thought"... I called and the only thing I didn't already have figured out was the "why", which I got.

3 week old FrontRunner 200 series roof rack and wind fairing. $1750 invested.

Local pickup $1250 and all you have to do is bolt it on your truck. It’s fully assembled

Too much wind noise for my taste. The fairing will take care of the noise but I don’t like the look.

I decided not to even entertain the LX with the rodent modification. Found a killer LX in Alabama but it sold yesterday. So still on the hunt. If anyone comes across a 13' with under 150k, black with a tan interior let us know. Doesn't have to be that color combo but if I am being picky that's what I want. Willing to travel, it'll be a plus if its in MS and we can hang out for the weekend.

Looks good. How is the ride?

Looks good. How is the ride?

you tell me tomorrow. Please take it for a spin. You have driven way more 100s than I have.

I like it. Set the settings in on the MRR for unloaded. I’ll have to drive it more but it floated over the railroad tracks at 60.
