Good luck on your hunt. I really like the ‘14 LX.

Does it ride like the LC ? I have a 2018 LC currently and love how smooth the ride it over bumps.
Against my best judgment of
purchasing in this market, I will be posting my new LC next week.
Hmm, is it the blue one or the modded white one or another altogether? Congrats either way!
I gave up on the blue one in Seattle. I called two different salesman and neither of those clowns got back to me on the details of the LC. I got the white one from Eric at Ed Martin. I spoke with the previous owner and he happens to live 2mi. from me. Meeting with him to get the extra key.

Very nice! Ultimately I think you'll be happier with it and it's already 90% built.
The one mod I probably would really want done most of all but never get around to doing is the LRA. So happy this Is the one mod I’ve always wanted.
Wow. That sounds rare. A 6-9 year old LC, with < 15K miles and in your location? A miracle you found one.
Would love to know what you think of the LRA. I’m scheduled for a large round of work at Slee in March and so far have held off on that, but I bet I could be convinced to go all-in

Last conversation I had with Ben at SLEE, he commented they weren't installing the 12.5 gallon LRA tank on LC200 units. Something about a slight rubbing within the spare tire cavity that customers complained about. I had SLEE install the ARB drawer system and their sliders on my HE last year. Great guys to deal with. Professional installations.Would love to know what you think of the LRA.

@CT3 I asked this same question before buying mine. @Eric Sarjeant installed a rubber seal over the fuel tank to prevent this. It’s the same rubber Toyota used underneath it’s vehicles. Feel free to ask him about it. I tagged him, so maybe he’ll chime and explain it a bit better.
Thank you. I’m doing a rear bumper with swing out so I could upsize to the mid size LRA, but I’m still on the fence if that just adding (even more) weight and complexity to an already overweight rig. I keep telling myself that three five gal wavians will be enough…
I'd be torn on not going with the 24gal if you're going to pay for it and the install. These are heavy rigs indeed but that's not going to change lol. It really boils down to whether or not you can justify the expense and whether or not having to stop or pull over to refuel is a nuisance for your needs and type of travel.

We use sheet rubber (from Rubber Sheet Warehouse on 12.5g LRA tank installs. This is virtually the same rubber sheets that Toyota uses under the batteries in the Prius..
We secure it with silicone before install, probably not necessary since it's sandwiched, but it's part of the prep process. We use the Neoprene Rubber 60A 1/8” thick medium hardness.
Neoprene Rubber Rolls & Sheets 36" & 48" wide | 60A Medium Hardness1/8" .125" Inches / 12" Inches wide x 36" Inches long
We also offer the following: Chloroprene Rubber (CR), widely known as Neoprene®, was one of the first oil resistant synthetic rubbers. However, it has only moderate resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels. It can be considered as a good general purpose rubber with an excellent balance...

I really like that color and rarely see it in the wild.
I can see the swirl marks from Canada!
Please save it from its abusive previous life of automated car washes.
I know i was so hurt from all the swirl from probably car washes. I would try to restore it and ceramic coat, carwashes are not in my book i never take any of my cars to car washes they just destroy everything. Next up is search for skid plates so i can avoid catalytic theft, have been already hit once on my wifes brand new gx. The one i want says not available till 2022 no eta

I’m glad you pulled the trigger Angelo! In your prior post when you said you were thinking about it, I was worried it would get snapped up and leave you full of regret!
Congrats!
Thank you! I couldn’t sleep for two nights as my mind was weighing it all in…on overdrive. I never had this issue with other vehicles. I hate overpaying for anything and usually buy on sale of anything when I can. But, I really regretted selling my last 200 and it made the regret worse when I saw another 200.
I felt like I gave the family dog away. My daughter was the most disappointed. Then people at the gym would ask me where my Blue LC was and when I tell them, they literally called me crazy, nuts and ask me why I would do that. My wife said “you will keep this min. 10yrs”…”yes Ma’am”.
