I've decided to sell this vehicle as I'm moving to Chicago and really don't have a use for a built out truck like this so far away from the mountains. I've owned this vehicle for 6 years and it can easily be driven daily right now (and it currently is) but it needs some work to be in tip top shape. I have this truck priced to sell to accommodate the repairs that may be needed and the higher mileage. I am going to be as upfront about everything I am aware that needs fixing for transparency, and I'm more than happy to provide any additional information. Don't judge a book by it's cover though, despite the work needed and mileage, this truck really does feel like a tank and drive/off-roads very well.
Overview:
- 2003 Lexus LX 470
- 1 accident (minor bumper damage, no structural or frame damage)
- Clean CO title in hand
- Passes emissions with ease
Known Issues:
- Crack along front windshield (does not leak)
- Hairline crack in passenger fender from snorkel vibrations against body panel
- Needs a Steering Position Sensor (approx $150 on eBay, located on steering column under clam shell; steering wheel is very crooked because of the bad sensor, but wouldn't be a difficult fix and it still drives fine & has a perfect alignment)
- Needs new tires; some irregular wear on driver front tire due to what I believe to be worn out lower control arm bushings
- Split tie rod boot; could use a replacement
- Mild creaking front end noise (I think it's the sway bar bushings needing some grease)
- Passenger front seat wont move backwards away from dash (in a usable spot, but I haven't been able to diagnose the issue; still tilts forward and backwards)
- Scratches from off-roading; this truck has seen many off-pavement miles and thus has many "custom pinstripes"
- Mild hail damage on hood and roof; not that bad imo and the paint color does a good job of masking the dents
- Dent on rear driver side of bumper from bumping a rock on a trail (not structural, entirely cosmetic)
- Possible PS valve cover gasket leak
- Moderate leak of an unknown source, possibly the rear main seal? (doesn't leak enough to necessitate topping off between oil changes)

If you have read this far, I commend you. I think the level of detail I have is a testament to how much I have cared for and loved this Lexus since I bought it. If you are interested, take a look at my IH8Mud forum thread where I've chronicled everything I've done with the LX since purchase. I think it is a wealth of knowledge on what I've done to it:
If you would like to ask any questions or would like to see it in person, feel free to hit me up on my cell, message me on here, or comment on this thread. Thanks for looking!
