Vehicle History: I purchased this CA/NV/AZ GX460 from Earnhardt Lexus – Phoenix in October 2019 with 42K miles after several months of searching for a clean base model (no AHC). Drove four extended backroads trips in 2020 and another couple in 2021 across Oregon, Washington, Utah and Arizona. Attended Overland Expo West September 2021.Truck supported many ski trips. Now based in Bellingham WA with monthly visits to Seattle area.

Vehicle Condition: Strong mechanical condition. Cosmetic wear with "trail stripes". Seats showing wear with holes in perforated leather. Rear bumper cover torn.

Why Sell: New remote job, new distant home, return of my FJ62 means I need a commuter car. I’ve enjoyed driving this highly capable & highly comfortable vehicle and hope it will find a new home with someone who will take it to new places….

Thanks for asking for more images ... My plan is to post the truck on mud for a week before posting elsewhere. Probably next on expedition portal.

The custom fold down wooden table in "up" transit position. Nice stained wood with brushed aluminum trim - and ties to trims on the cargo deck. Two pins (orange fobs visible) to deploy...

table in "down" position - ready to make coffee or...

and additional interior picture with one of the two ram mount positions visible

Images of the (third row delete) custom cargo shelf :

and with an example of tie down:

In a previous LC (100 series), the previous owner had installed some beautiful (but heavy) drawers. With this 150, I was looking to maximize flexibility and keep daily weight in check. On week long backcountry trips, I'd put the spare on the roof, plug in a Dometic CFX35 fridge and use alu-boxes and soft duffels to manage the load. I liked this approach and will pursue similar on next build... From a July 2020 trip:
