Whats up everyone. Recently bought an LX470 and thought I'd introduce myself.
I've had Jeeps for most of my adult life but after I sold my last Wrangler (2021 Rubicon 4xe) I was looking for something with a little more tow capacity and enough room to haul around 4 dogs. I've always liked Landcruisers and came across this LX470 at a small local dealer. First time I stopped by it wouldn't start and the sales guy suggested I not even look at it - "the suspension is all broken you won't like it". I took his word for it and moved on.
I went home and priced out the OME setup to replace the broken suspension. Called the guy back to see exactly what he thought was wrong with it. He said the factory suspension had been replaced with some Old Man Emu junk. I said that's too bad and offered a little lower, and we had a deal. New battery and I was on my way. Worked out nicely for me.
So I am now the proud owner of a 2004 LX470 with 150k. Timing belt done a couple years ago, overall in really good condition. Arizona vehicle, no rust. Interior is in great shape. Paint is pretty rough but presentable.
