Hi all. New member and long time lurker here. Wasn't sure if this is the right place to post, but I've seen similar threads here. My apologies if this isn't the right place.
I'm looking for a 2003+ Land Cruiser for overlanding, offroading, and Home Depot runs. I found a 2004 LX470 about 3 hours away. It only has ~148K miles, interior is in good shape and it looks pretty good cosmetically. The tachometer is broken and the AHC has been deleted, though. And it does have a bit more rust on the undercarriage than I was hoping for (it spent most of its life in Maryland). Does this amount of rust look acceptable? Or should I keep looking? Price is $11.5K.

I've definitely seen much worse in the mid-Atlantic, and it's a better than most of the <$13K examples near me. But I plan to add a lift, add 33" tires, and likely upgrade the front bumper as well. I plan on keeping it for many (10+) years if possible. Don't know if this is a good starting point.
Thanks!
