Vehicle Model

Mileage

190000

Color

I have decided to sell (or trade) my 2002 Lexus LX470 (Riverrock Green Mica) rigged for offroading, overlanding, and camping. I've owned it since August 2018. I purchased from a guy in Atlanta that bought the LX in 2016 from someone in New Orleans. He bought it stock and did most of the mods. I have made some minor changes since I purchased. The car has no rust and has never been in the north. The is pretty clean inside and out but there are some areas that show age. The truck runs great. It just needs a little TLC to be near perfect. I used it for an annual camping trip and little bit of off-roading. There are some mud stains in the undercarriage and wheel wells. It could probably use a good detail and maybe some shampoo on the carpet. I have also noted some items below that I may start to fix depending upon how long it takes to sell the truck. Regardless, this truck is ready to hit the mountains and do some serious camping. It is a great platform that can easily be modified to suit your preferences. It could use a little love, but it works great as is too. I will miss the truck, but it needs to be with someone that is going to use it the way it is built.

VIN: JTJHT00W823518242

Current Mileage: ~190,000

• Custom built rock sliders
• Custom built rear bumper with dual swing outs (1 for spare, 1 for 2x jerry cans). I removed the Jerry can basket (it was welded on by the PO) and added a 2” receiver hitch on the driver side swing arm. This allows me to add a removal rack that will hold a small cooler and a jerry can. 2 Jerry cans to come with the LX.

INTERIOR

• Custom rear mounting board
• ARB 37Qt Fridge Freezer with cover
• Adventure Trailer Fridge Slide Combo with Partner Steel Stove (I have some interest in the slide stove/fridge combo - so I am willing to remove and sell seperately).
• Custom built storage/sleeping pad.

RECENT MAINTENANCE

• Mechanic (146k) - LexTech in Charleston
  • Waterpump and timing belt
  • Heater ts, other belts hoses
  • Right side valve cover gasket
• Alternator (155k)

• Repacked hubs (185K)
• Replace tires (185K)

SOME THINGS TO NOTE:

• The title is exempt (mileage). Apparently this is normal for cars with over 100k miles that were located in Louisiana. The mileage seems to be correct though.
• I have the original 2 drawer system that the PO built. I can remove the storage system that I built and exchange for the 2 drawer system if desired. Or you can have both.
• The Warn recovery bag includes gloves, recovery/tree straps, shackles, snatch block.
• It does not have differential locks...only the center lock.
• The third row seats were removed by the PO and I do not have them. The rear has a custom mounting plate for the fridge slide and storage system. However, I cut out holes for the seat mounts. You can install the 3rd row seats back in very easily if you remove the slide and storage system.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Has a deep scratch on the rear drive side door (see pics).
• The drivers side valve cover has a small leak now.
• One of the ARB fog lights lens is broke. Prob from a rock on the freeway. Light still works. I have LED replacements that have not been installed.
• The leather on the front seats is starting to tear and needs to be repaired or replaced.
• The wooden steering wheel has cracks in the wood. I have leather to wrap it with.
• Rear seat steps need new screws.
• Rear air does not work
• Broken tail light (tape over it)
• Sunroof does not work properly
• Subwoofer needs to be replaced (or see next note)
• I recently purchased a new center stack from a junkyard with the intention of doing the stereo/nav delete And replacing the stock stereo. I have not completed this yet, but the stack will be included. The stack does have some cracks in the plastic.

Posted on Facebook marketplace and interest has been much higher. I would still prefer a MUD member, but the window is closing quickly.

Lot of interest but no takers. She is a great platform that will benefit a true overlander and could easily be built into a crawler. PM if interested.

May as bump it one more time.

My LX470 has found a new home! She will now be in the hands of fellow MUD member. Congrats to @SteelCity311 for the purchase of a great rig. I’m sure he will get many years of use and enjoyment from her!
