Hello mudders,
Putting up the Lexus for sale because honestly, we have two very young children and I haven’t been able to do the things I wanted to do since having our first child in 2020 and so the LX basically sits and collects dust in the driveway. We have six vehicles at the moment so no more room for the LX!
I bought the 98 from a professor at Auburn who was the second owner back in March of 2019 bone stock with the hopes of making a cool adventure mobile. I did nearly all the maintenance myself except the timing belt and most recently the entire HVAC system. I bought it with 222k miles and currently it sits with 272k miles. It was used as my daily work vehicle for the first year and light use in 2021. In 2022 it just sat around.
Some of the work that’s been done maintenance wise include:
OEM heater hoses and T’s
OEM CV axles and all related bearings
Timing belt change using all OEM parts at 248k miles
Aisin blue clutch fan replacement
Nippon Denso AC compressor
AC condenser
Upgrades include :
Falken Wildpeak AT3W 275/75/16 on all 5 wheels
ECCPP 1.5” bolt on spacers
Wells Visors
eBay special snorkel
MetalTech sliders
Depo clear corner lights
LED everything
Ironman front bumper
Ironman 7” driving lights
Apex Badland 12k winch with synthetic rope
SDHQ billet terminals
Gamiviti multi brackets
Ironman awning
Yakima rocketbox cargo box
ASFIR front skid plate
YOTAMD titanium reinforced key
2002 second row seat (because it has the latch system for kid seats)
Not installed but will come with :
Ironman rear springs
Air lift bags
OEM Lexus rear chrome trim (for lift gate)
Freedom off-road Upper control arms
OEM original 3rd row seats
The good:
AC is stupid cold (rear too!)
AHC works as advertised
Super duper dependable
Never left me stranded (on or off road)
No rust
The bad:
Steering rack will need to be replaced soon
Random things that don’t work:
Power sunroof (stuck)
Power adjustable steering column
Front leather seats are ripped
The ugly:
Faded roof
Faded hood
Asking price is $14,999 obo
Will post as many photos as I can!
