I am sad to list our trusty LX for sale.
We have had her for just over 10 years (we bought in Nov of 2015).
We got it from Mike at @Bump It Offroad and have put just over 100k miles on her. It came from TX and looks very nice underneath.
Rear LSD works very well - no need to turn the dial!

Color code is 4M9 Cashmere Beige/Beige Metallic

She has 242k miles and has been well maintained.
We are asking $12k.

Here is our build thread that documents most of the upgrades and maintenance:

Thread 'We're in! '99 LX - new to us!'

Dec 4, 2015

It seems like I have seen a few '99 LX470s changing hands lately, here is another one!

We got plates and applied for title today, so I guess it is official, eh?

I think they called this color Champagne Biege?
140k miles (had over 139k when we started looking at it, seller let us 'test drive' over Thanksgiving week.
Timing belt and water pump done @ 113k.
Lots of other maintenance done, including a recent AHC fluid flush.

The loves it!

Why are we selling?
About a year ago our son had a brief encounter with a tree. Since he was 18 at the time, I did not want to make a claim. My wife wanted to move on to a newer vehicle, so here we go.
Thankfully he kept the damage out of the A pillar and out of the front suspension. Thankfully the fender did not touch the hood. It was the best thing that could have happened to him in terms of learning how to drive in the snow.
We got the wife a new machine and I decided to sell her as-is.

She is a great Cruiser.
I am sad to post this, but I think it is time to find a good home for our LX. With the new year comes an urge to simplify.

There are some good pictures in the build thread.
Let me know if you are looking for a particular picture.
