Overview

Offering my 2011 LX570. This is a "no-stories" chassis with a very specific backstory on the powertrain. I am the type of owner who is relatively anal about car care (ceramic coated, consistent detailing), and I’ve spent the money to keep this rig mechanically 100%. The frame is RUST FREE.


The Engine Swap


The original block was unfortunately lost due to a freak mechanical failure (improperly torqued torque converter bolts from a previous owner's service eventually backed out and cracked the block).


Instead of a high-mileage junkyard pull, I sourced a JDM 3UR-FE from ChicagoJDMAutoParts01 (a well-vetted supplier here on the forums) with roughly 75k miles.


• Install: Performed by Renaissance Auto in Cary, NC. Jay and his team are Land Cruiser specialists and know this truck inside and out.


• Status: The new motor has roughly 5k miles since the swap. It is bone dry, runs exceptionally strong, and "no expense spared" was the directive for the install. Jay is available to discuss the quality of the work with serious buyers.


Mechanical Condition


• AHC: Functions perfectly. Cycles through all heights quickly and holds pressure.


• Brakes: Plenty of life remaining.


• Steering: There is a slight "moan" from the steering column during low-speed maneuvers. Jay at Renaissance inspected the rack—everything is structurally sound, so I have opted to leave it as-is.


• Drivetrain: Smooth shifting, 4LO engages as it should.


Aesthetic & Interior


• Paint/Body: Ceramic coated. The main body looks fantastic.


• Front and rear bumpers were resprayed by a previous owner; the color match is a shade off (common with Lexus pearls).


• The roof clear coat is showing its age with some white artifacts (no flaking yet).


• Minor rock chips on the hood/fenders consistent with 215k miles.


• Tires: Cooper tires with decent tread, though they are older date codes with some cracking, they need to be replaced relatively soon.


Why Buy This One?


You’re getting a rust-free 200-series chassis with a powertrain that has 130k fewer miles than the odometer suggests, documented by one of the best LC shops in the Carolinas.

More pics please.
 
I’d be very interested in your truck at $20k and am a cash buyer local to you. I understand that that’s not the price you are asking, and don’t mean to offend. Looking forward to more pics.

No offense taken at all! Never hurts to throw it out there. If I get a month or two down the road and it’s clear I’m overpriced I’ll definitely be in touch. Right now based on initial interest I feel I’m priced well but who knows, I do really love this car so that’s definitely factored into how I priced it.

Definitely check the website I set up here-


I have a bunch of pictures and videos and plan to get more up this week.
 
my only concern is the JDM engine. If it has the JDM ECU,.. will it pass inspection as it will trigger a vin mismatch, fail on different emissions sensors (No evap canister, catalyst sensors in JP etc). Couple of other things but can't remember off top of head... I've had other JDM vehicles but they were older than 25 years. Other than that, gorgeous truck.

Still has the original ECU etc so it should be fine. That being said I register all my cars in FL so I never do emissions testing. Happy to have it done for a serious buyer to see.

honestly it’s relatively simple! Just some HTML coding which is made way easier running Claude code in terminal. Then I host on Netlify, although I think Cloudflare might have been a better option and I probably should’ve hosted the videos on YouTube or Vimeo.
 
Still interested, and local.
