Well the cat is officially out of the bag. After a few weeks of needing to wrench just to get to work I took a plunge into a hopefully more reliable Land Cruiser.
Firstly you should read:
https://jalopnik.com/the-2016-lexus-lx-570-is-a-big-lumbering-idiot-mobile-a-1785727282
This article basically summarizes Ratpuke's feelings on the vehicle... at least at first.
The truck:
2009 Lexus LX570 with ~120k km on the clock
Spent some time in many of our provinces already from the center of the universe to BC and now alberta. This means the undercarriage is a little corroded but it isn't terrible.
Dealer ship was a but iffy but it had recently passed and out of province inspection and went through a Lexus pre purchase inspection. Seems reasonably solid mechanically.
Plan is for a Day of Baselining fluids and the overall truck this weekend so if you'd like to crawl through a 200 series chassis come on over for beer and complex Land Cruiser maintenance...
I hope this works out.
Plans are smaller rims, bigger tires, and armor to make it look the part of its Land Cruiser heritage and less LEXUS pretentious. Dont have good pics yet but those will come.
