I'm working on the mod list and asking price as we speak...should have it posted for those that have inquired here later today.

Hey guys,

Still without a job, so gonna part out the Lexus for some income:

1) Complete 6" Slee Lift - $2K plus shipping
2) Tires & Wheels - Spare Brand New - $1,650 plus shipping
3) Winch Kit - $450 plus shipping
4) 3rd Row Seats - Highest reasonable Offer Accepted plus shipping
5) Truck without the above items returned to stock $6K

I will remove the lift and tires and wheels after money has been received, because I'm still driving this daily. Just had to do a complete radiator flush, new radiator hoses and a new radiator, so it's good to go to a new home. I'm leaving in all the upgraded axle parts, etc that's a pain in the butt to remove, so now someone can get a great truck ready to be lifted and equipped with whatever tires and wheels you want, as well. Plus, with the fenders trimmed, you couldn't probably run 35's with almost no lift at all if you wanted to keep it low. I also just had it aligned and the brakes bleed.

I can't believe nobody has snagged this truck up yet...I'll never build one up again that's for sure. I'm losing my ass at this price, and still nobody wants it. I've had a few inquiries, but nobody has come to see it yet.

It's just the economy right now, a built truck like these are not on anyones priority list. Most people trying to sell a highly modified 80 this year has run into the same problem.

I was going to sell mine earlier in the year to help pay off debt but after watching others that sold I figured I might as well keep on to it as i'd never get a price worth selling it for.
 
Hey guys,

I've had a few inquiries, but nobody has come to look at the truck yet. So, the last weekend of the month, I'm going to pull the tires/wheels and the Slee 6" lift off the truck and sell them separately. So, whoever wants them, let me know, and I'll make sure they're ready to ship at the end of the month. If you don't think my prices are fair, make an offer, but don't waste my time with a lowball offer. I've got over double what I'm asking for this stupid truck, and for folks to lowball me even further is pathetic. So, if you want a good deal, let me know, and we can talk, but only after you see and drive the truck.

As far as the truck goes, I'm going to take it back to the stock tires/wheels, and also remove the rear chromo axles and sell those separately, as well, since they're pretty easy to remove. As far as the fronts go, they'll go with the truck, since they're not worth messing with to remove them. Of course, it will still have the 5.29's in the axles, the fenders are trimmed(I'll make sure to take pics of the truck with the 37's and no lift on to show how much room you have), and everything else that can be sold separately will be. I can't afford to sit on this truck anymore...I haven't decided what I'll sell the truck for minus the lift and wheels/tires, but even if I sell off the lift and tires/wheels, winch, axles, etc separately, I'll have a truck I can sell to someone cheaper and be ready for you to finish it off the way you want to.

Here are the pics of the Lexus with the 37's and no suspension lift...plenty of clearance.

Lift is ready to be boxed up and sold, and the truck is ready to be sold, as well. Somebody please buy all this from me ASAP! :)

Hey guys,

I've been so freakin' busy I haven't had any time to mess with the Toyota since the electrical issue I had a few months ago. I replaced the fuel pump, but there's still something preventing it from starting. It's almost like there's a security switch triggered or something. Nevertheless, if someone would like a discount on the truck as it sits, just needing some electrical troubleshooting to make it run again, I'm accepting reasonable offers. I'd really like the truck out of my driveway and in someone else's that can use the truck for what it's built for. So, if anyone's interested, please let me know. Thanks,

Chris
 
Nobody has any offers? I need to get rid of the truck and the parts I have for it...it's just taking up space.

Chris
 
I still have the truck...need to get rid of it. I haven't worked on it for a year it seems. Want the whole truck and parts for $2,500?

Chris
 
I live in Boone, NC, and the truck is left with Front and Rear lockers with 5.29's, and all the misc parts mentioned above. I honestly would let the whole truck go with all the parts for $2,500 at this point.
