Well here it is. I bought this lx last November from a guy in Oklahoma. I'd been on the lookout for one for awhile and this thing came up and I bought it. Now I'm really regretting buying a Lexus vs a land cruiser like I originally wanted. That's the reason this thing is listed for sale. If it sells I'll be on the lookout for a land cruiser again. This truck is completely rust free and mechanically is really tight and sound.

A list of things the previous owner did to the truck in the last year.
-rebuilt top end of the motor
-rebuilt the front axle
-rebuilt the steering up front
-brake pads and rotors
-PHH done
-all hoses in engine bay replaced
-2.5 Dobinson lift
-37" cooper stt pros on FN rims

Since I bought it in November I've done the following.
-new ARB front bumper
-seats from LCH front and middle rows (they are still at the upholstery shop but should be finished soon and will be installed before it sells)
-new gears for front seats
-new carpet from ACC

I took all the interior out, minus dash and headliner, and completely cleaned the body inside. Installed new carpet and cleaned up all the interior pieces while they were out.

The body is in ok shape. It's been repainted at one time. The gaskets on the fender flares need to be replaced. And there is some trail rash on the body molding also. I took the rear bumper off in preparation for a new rear bumper but that hasn't happened yet. I still have all the pieces for the stock bumper. The hood has some dents also.

Truck is located in NE Iowa. I haven't drove it this winter at all so hasn't seen any salt yet. Been sitting in a heated shop since I bought it.

I'll post more pics up this evening.

Thanks!

And also I forgot to mention there are no lockers on this ol girl.
 
Not that I know of. I've put roughly 1000 miles on it since I bought it including the 600 mile drive from grove, ok to where I live in iowa.

Sorry I didn't get more pics up last night. Ill get them on here today sometime.
 
Why do you regret buying a Lexus as opposed to a Land Cruiser ? I thought they were pretty much the same thing ?
 
Heres some more photos. I've included pics of the trail damage. And also note the condition of the hood. It has several dents also. It's raining outside and I just washed it so if you want more pics I'll try to get them after it quits raining. I'll let it dry out a bit and get some undercarriage shots later too.

I grew up overseas and my dad had a HDJ 80. The reason for a land cruiser over a Lexus is purely just because I want a more stripped down version without the body cladding like we had growing up in Africa. If I understand correctly the only main difference is the lx has the cladding and also maybe softer springs.
 
Heres a link to the previous mud classified from the previous owner.


He has a more complete list of the maintenance and upgrades done by him.
 
Also I can get interior pics too if someone wants it. Its basically a land cruiser with new carpets. I'll forsure get pics after the new seats are in.
 
I would also consider a trade for a stock 80 series of equal value. 95-97 Preferably in equal shape mechanically.
 
Wow you really don't like Lexus do you
