Sadly this week a dipisht in a camaro pulled out in front of me on the highway from a stop in traffic while I was doing 45. I had no way to avoid it. Turned out he doesn't have insurance. It's going to be a total loss under my uninsured motorist coverage.
The appraiser has not been out to look at it yet, but if there's interest from a serious buyer here I will buy it back from the insurance company to sell for a possible trail rig. I won't have a firm price because it totally depends on the salvage buyback price.
Details : I'm the 2nd owner, I bought it in Virginia Beach 13 years ago as a certified pre-owned vehicle from a Toyota dealer with 45,000 miles. It'e been dealer serviced the majority of it's life. Mileage is currently 245,000 and climbing as I still drive it.
timing belt/water pump every 90k
engine oil system flushed every 100k
power steering fluid & brake fluid exchanged regularly (last done earlier this year)
all 4 O2 sensors at 130,000 miles
New fuel filter in 2017
Iridium spark plugs changed at 100,000 & 200,000 miles
Has a K&N drop in air filter in the factory air box
Iron Man shocks up front in 2017, Iron Man foam shocks in the rear in 2017
inner and outer tie rod ends in 2018
poly steering rack bushings in 2017
poly sway bar bushings in 2017
all 8 ignition coil packs were replaced with OEM in 2017
front seats were replaced due to cracked leather in 2018 with better condition seats from a same model year LX470. height adjustment on the driver seat does not work (?) Will come with the original LC seats to recover or whatever you want to do with them
New 275/65/18 Kumho All Terrain tires from Discount Tire last summer (2018) on Tundra 18" wheels. spare is still the original 16" with original tire
New fake wood grain interior trim in 2017
New battery (AAA) in the fall of 2018
new front brake pads (march 2019)
valve cover gaskets done in 2017 (myself)
front rotors and Timken wheel bearings at 200,000 miles
rear rotors were done at 190,000
both front halfshafts were replaced by Toyota in 2017 when the axle splines sheared and failed. I believe they replaced both front hubs also
ignition bracket broke in 2017 and was replaced by the dealer
transfer case and rear diff fluids have always been synthetic and done by me regularly
front diff fluid was done by the dealer, but not as often as I would like
heater blower motor replaced in 2017
A/C is cold front and rear, heat is melt your skin hot
3rd seats still installed, still have the complete tool kit, jack and jack tools
Has an aftermarket Sony bluetooth head unit
Installed a small Kicker amp to power an Audio Pipe sub in the factory plastic box - sounds OK, but will never win an audio competition
Will come with 2 Toyota keys and 1 Toyota valet key. The original key with the built in remote broke a long time ago and I just never replaced it.
I have the LX470 cabin air filter parts to retrofit, but it's not installed
New front fog lights (China) installed in 2018. Before I installed them I sealed the lenses with 2 coats of clear silicone and let it dry. They have never had any condensation inside since installing them. Currently have yellow LED bulbs in them
Has never leaked a drop of any fluid, drives straight with no wobbles and I would not hesitate to drive it across country this weekend
With any parts I installed I used Permatex anti-seize compound on the threads to prevent any future problems. Tie rod ends, shock nuts, end link nuts, wheel studs, wherever I could use it. I learned my lesson a long time ago while living in Ohio about threads and rust.

Known Issues :
body damage (see photos)
typical rear side window rattle
1 half dollar sized rust spot on the bottom of the upper rear hatch. I hit it with a wire brush last night (4/23/19) and applied POR15 on the rust. there are no rust holes, just surface rust which is now gone
passenger side upper ball joint boot is split. I replaced the driver side upper control arm with a used one from a 2006. The sale will include 2 used upper control arms ready to rebuild.
unknown rattle in the center console I never was able to track down
center diff lock light does not illuminate but diff lock works perfect
steering wheel leather is a mess
front driver side suspension has a creak over speed bumps (?)
clear coat on roof has small spots where it's beginning to peel
door handle clear coat is gone, gel coat on both outside mirrors is cracking
I monkeyed up the driver side door panel light attempting to remove it to install LEDs, it no longer stays in place
had a very minor accident in May 2018 - only damage was driver side front fender and bumper cover. paintwork is excellent and done by a Toyota body shop
WIll NOT come with the Hella lights on the grille guard.. I will leave the wiring installed with a factory style switch in the dash but disconnect the power from the battery. Price depends on if I will include the grille guard or remove and sell it locally
power antenna mast is broken. I have a replacement but haven't gotten around to installing it. will be included
Everything else is pretty much original. I would highly recommend beginning to change all the coolant hoses as they are soft.

rear camera video from the accident. my front dash camera for some reason was not recording.
Located in Houston, I'm willing to pick you up at the airport if you're coming in from out of town.
Price is $4500. Salvage buyback is close to $3000 and I still need to have enough money to find a replacement vehicle. This price is slightly more than 50% average retail on the truck.
The truck still runs perfect, drives straight with no funny noises or vibrations of any kind.
I'm not on here very often, usually only to research repairs or part numbers. Feel free to drop me an email at schaff70v@gmail . I'll send my phone number if you want any additional details.
