'97 @174k and Counting. New head rebuilt. Original Engine
LX just turned over 150,000mi. Was dealer maintained by previous owner and was a Lexus certified vehicle. Since I have had it since 124,000mi it has had regular oil changes and full check ups by my mechanic, who was a Toyota Master Tech Mechanic when these were new as well as a FJ40 specialist. He has fixed an oil leak in the front of the motor and is watching the original BERFs which have only some minor leakage. I replaced the springs, shocks, front wheel bearings and that is it. Solid as a rock.
Landcruiser VX 4.2 24v diesel engine 427800k and the cruiser is from 1997
I posted a pic of one running at a salvage auction with 570k miles , condition and history unknown . It was a 95 I think.
My 95 with 235k is a spring chicken compared to some of these. All original motor Never a HG issue even living in Yuma, Az. I do have an oil leak around the distributor I need to resolve and the Speedo cable oring needs replacement since it is leaking oil out of the transfer case as well.
Nice! I love reading your mileage updates. How's the rig doing?
