Questions: Just ask

History:
Purchased Stock with 99,981 miles. LX was in great shape just needed to be base lined. The car was a two owner car. The car had been serviced by both owners at Lexus before I got her. They also both lived in Florida. She was/still is in great condition. I base lined all fluids, rebuilt the front axels and gave her a complete tune-up. I also replaced the PHH (pesky heater hose). I’ve since stripped and refinished the wheels using duplicolor graphite paint. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/270629-wheel-re-finish.html


Engine:
Aux Cooling fan from a Toyota Tercell, I have this switched so I can turn it off and on however when the key to the car is off fan will not work. This way the battery will not be dead in the morning.

Body:
I’ve removed the running boards and the hood has a few small chips / dents. I’ve also repainted the grill to match the wheels using duplicolor graphite wheel paint.
Extras:
Included are a Slee aux light harness (NIB), Toyota OEM fog light switch (NIB), extra front wheel bearings (always good to have a spare), 3 Toyota square hazard switches (2 with pigtails), receipts for a ton of parts, fluids, maintenance, fire stick spring mount, and 2 diff housing gaskets.


Maintenance:
Front Axel rebuild – 15k ago. Fluids replaced at the same time: Front Diff, Rear Diff (also replaced rear seals for good measure), transfer case, transmission drained and flushed once at home and once at the quickly lube (wanted to make sure I got all new fluid), oil (I used 10w30 synthetic). Plugs, wires, rotor, and cap replaced. Replaced air filter with Toyota washable (OEM). The throttle body was cleaned also. PHH was replaced with blue silicone hose and clamps (I still have the scars to prove it!). Radiator flushed and filled about 10k ago.
Brakes- Brake fluid flushed and replaced. LSPV adjusted to compensate for lift. The brakes are nice and firm and stop better than stock due to the pads, ss lines, slotted and cross drilled rotors, and new fluid!


Condition:
2 owner LX450 drives great! It is in great condition and there are 0 (zero) issues. LX has been base lined. It burns NO oil between oil changes. It does not leak oil from any where! This car has lived its entire life in Florida and is in stunning condition. Never been in an accident to my knowledge and looks great. Paint is very shinny. Few small nicks from normal use. Glass is in great shape and front windows were just tinted to match rear (lumar bronze 35%). Interior is in great shape and carpet looks great. Ice cold AC. Transmission shifts perfectly. Engine idels and pulls great. Power seats work great! No drive-line vibs from lift since I installed the Slee caster plates.


The long and short is this LX450 looks great and has been built for comfort and reliability. I am OCD and the LX was perfect when I got it and it is even better with all the mods IMHO. It rides great and is ready for a trip to Moab or beyond.
Known issues: radio light out on two buttons (tape & CD)

Out off curiosity, what is the height of your rig?
(when you have a chance (no rush) can you take a measurement of the highest point for me?
Was wondering if a 80 with your lift & tires would fit in my building's garage).
My Fj with a 3" lift & 285/75/16, I had to remove the roof rack to fit, but I still have 2" of clearance.

Thanx.

PS thanx for the compliment, and good luck with your sale.

I've been asked this question several times and I should have posted it up.

The LX is 77" tall with an empty fuel tank. It fits with 3+ inches of clearance in my 7' garage door (its actually a few inches short of a 7' door). I've never had an issue with parking garages. When researching my lift/tire combo I wanted to ensure that it would fit in all standard garages since I use as my DD.

Great questions.

Also I forgot to mention it has key-less entry that works great. ;)
 
sounds great! sure wish i could see the pics. :bang:


Email Paul,

his truck is extra clean. wish I could buy it. I'm sure he's got tons of pics. you can also look at his past post theres a few in there as well.


best of luck...
 
Just realized that My photobucket account bandwidth was exceeded. I just upgraded to Pro so photos will always show up.

Bump for now viewable photos.
 
I have a 2007 Fj Cruiser with a 3 inch suspension lift on 33 inch Baja MTZ tires with the matching spare and an All Pro Offroad winch bumper with 50K miles if you want to trade.

lots of interest however no cash yet. I'll take 100's, 50's, 20's, 10',5's, 2's, 1's, quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies or any combination so long as they all add up. :)
 
I'm on the look out for a 100 series but if this thing was a little cheaper then I would change my mind. Good job on the truck.
 
do you have any interested in a Beautifully built/rebuilt 62 that has no rust. We could talk trades plus cash if the interest was there. Let me know if your interested.

Man I would love a 62 however I don't have the time to wrench and with my family it does not fit my needs. Thanks for offering.

Just curious if this sold or not, definitely interested.
