We thought this was going to be a 'forever' truck in our stable but we have moved and our family situation has changed requiring a more gas efficient vehicle.
I am a Land Cruiser/LX470 enthusiast; this has been my 4th Land Cruiser/LX470. These are amazing vehicles, particularly this generation (100-series), that can run forever when properly maintained. They unfortunately just don’t make them bulletproof like this anymore.
The prior owner of this LX470 worked in Finance at a Toyota dealership (and fellow ih8mud member) who had extensive factory preventative maintenance done by their Master Techs. I have the service records for everything he had done as well as what we have done during our ownership. This factory preventative maintenance was not just “fluid baselining”.
This a very nice and rare color, too (Mystic Sea Opalescent). It looks great with the bronze BBS Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage wheels and the nice small bronze detailing on the side trim moldings. It gets thumbs up while driving and always gathers lots of compliments at our local Land Cruiser meet-ups and car shows.
Replaced with OEM parts (all within the past 2 years):
- Entire AHC system: globes, pump/motor, struts. Drives like a dream. Magic carpet.
- Upper control arms, lower control arms, stabilizers, links, wheel bearings (replaced entire parts, not just bushings or repacks)
- CV axles
- Power steering pump
- Brake pump/master cylinder
- Timing belt, water pump, heater Ts
- All spark plugs and coils
- Alternator (upgraded to Sequoia 130 amp)
- Seat covers (front row)
- Steering wheel
- Fuse box
- All four door lock actuators (entire actuator, not just motors)
- Catalytic converters shield
- Garage Alpha grill
- Passenger side headlight
- Throttle body
- MAF + O2 sensors (all)
- Weathertech floor mats
- New brakes (last 500 miles)
Added:
- ARB front bumper 3413190
- ARB rear bumper 5613210 with spare + jerry swingouts
- ARB Intensity IQ lights (Bluetooth controlled)
- ARB protection steps + fender rails + puddle lights
- 18" BBS Heritage wheels (including spare)
- Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 285/65R18
- Front Runner Slimline II roof rack + wind deflector
- OVS Nomadic 270 awning + all 3 side walls
- RIGID 'Chase' tail lights (night, brake, reverse)
- 3M Crystalline ceramic tint (everywhere but windshield)
Included:
- Third row seats (installed)
- 2 master keys (YotaMD shells), 1 valet key
The good:
- I've hit all the major items. This truck rides like a dream and is ready to go another 20 years. No sticky locks. No DNR thunk. No AHC issues.
- Texas truck it's whole life. No rust.
- I would drive this LX470 cross country without hesitation (all while in comfort, luxury and confidence this can tackle whatever you want)
The bad:
- The sunroof doesn't work.
- Telescopic driving wheel motor doesn't work (tilt does). I have a new motor and installing it is on the to-do list.
- Driver's side power mirror does a lazy/half-ass inward fold
This vehicle is in Austin. If interested or if you have questions, please reach out.
Asking $24,000
