Hi Everyone, I have been a long time Toyota owner, gen 1, 2, and 3 tacomas and a 4runner. I am looking to get out of my current car payment for my '17 tacoma trd and downgrade (or upgrade depending on how you look at it)to an 80 series. I know these posts come up every so often and I have looked at Slees newbie guide as well as spent several hours combing through this forum trying to decide if this is the right choice. FJ80 is definitely the direction I want to go. I have a budget around 10k for the fj80 cost. I'd like to get something I don't have to put too much $$$ into to make it DD worthy. Right now, my commute is super minimal, but I would like something that I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross country.
My long term goal with vehicle would be to have it "expo" ready. 315's bumpers, sliders, RTT. My lady and I both love camping, offroading and are rock climbers so we like to get out and about.
On to my question. I have this one in mind 1997 Lexus LX450 (Land Cruiser) with lockers
Does this look like a reasonable deal or is it too expensive and I would be over paying? What are other things I should look out for besides those mentioned in the Slee guide? Anything I should be asking or inspecting that I haven't even considered?
Thanks for any input and please don't flame me too bad if I asked a dumb question
Cheers!
