The sad reality of parting with my 100 series (2000 lx470) is beginning to sink in. I haven’t been driving her, we’ve recently purchased a 200, and my wife won’t let me keep it to turn it into an expedition rig. I’ve owned since 75k miles and have cared for it with an open wallet. It’s got an ARB bumper/winch and slee’s step sliders. The underside of this truck has some surface rust but still just surface rust. The truck is close to 213k miles...
Good:
Within the last year or so, new Toyota pads/rotors, valve cover gaskets, Napa Gold monstrous AGM battery/all new military connectors/terminals, new 33” Duratracs, AC service, new Toyota rear control arms, shock bushings, starter, interior is clean and everything works great. I have every service record since I’ve owned the truck, along with most of the service records from Lexus when I bought it. The factory hydraulic suspension works perfect and the truck rides awesome! I replaced the front accumulators a couple of years ago and upgraded to the 100 king springs. I’ve been pretty militant with fluid changes and have done my own oil changes with Mobile1 and the Napa Gold filters. Probably lots more I’m forgetting...
Bad: I’m deciding if I should do another timing belt/water pump, as it should be done (again) within the next 10k miles. I’ve also noticed a very slight drip from the steering rack, so I will assume that will need done within the next year or so as well. As typical, there is also some rust on the back hatch as well.
This truck has faithfully carried our family to more than 40 US states, from -25 degrees on a family ski trip to Maine, a blizzard through Colorado on i70, to 115 degrees in Nashville in August, always getting us home with no drama. As such, I’d LOVE to see it go to a local mudder, so I’m posting it here first. I haven’t really thought about a firm price yet, as I’m not sure about the next round of repairs. If you are in the market for a 100 series, PM me and let’s talk!
