80 Pickin' (LX450)

[BombCity]

Well, fellas. I'm bringing a Cruiser from Portland, Oregon to Texas - actually my brother is - @POTATO LAUNCHER . He's getting some well-deserved windsheild time.

1997 Lexus LX450 Land Cruiser, low miles, factory lockers

Bought my LX bone stock from the second owner here locally. He owned it the last 12 years. His wife drove it less than a mile to work and back daily. Always garaged. I assume if you're looking at...

portland.craigslist.org

I WISH LIKE HELL I was going, but have too much going on at work to make it happen right now, unfortunately. He's flying out of Amarillo in the morning and will be meeting up with Solid Axle Summit folks all the way back. I'm jealous...

Been around Cruisers all my life - came home from the hospital in a 1969 FJ55 after birth and it was the vehicle I cut my driving teeth in. This will be the first Cruiser I can call my own in more than 30 years. Excited doesn't even touch it!

He will be posting pics of the journey home.

Thanks a million, bro! I owe you one! Looking forward to running the trails in it at SAS3!

I’m glad you had the time. Much appreciated man. I’ll feel MUCH better having you drive it than shipping it. I’ll be checking in with @DirtySteve shortly to make sure his butt is up and getting ready to take you to the airport.
