I may have to trade my beloved '93 for something with fewer miles on it for, ah, relationship reasons. I found this:
Lexus LX 470
I'm completely new to the 100 series, so I'd like some advice particular to this vehicle. I've read all the threads here and on Slee on general 100 info, but it looks like the owner replaced the original variable height suspension on it with OEM equipment. He says it's never been off road, so I'm wondering if the early version of that system was prone to failure. On paper, the rest looks good, mileage, price. Does anyone else see any red flags based on the ad?
It looks to me like the 100s don't have as many minefields as the 80s, but is there anything I should be keeping my eye out for? Timing belt and starter motor keeps coming up in other threads, and this one has the 2 pinion front dif which I'll have to swap out. Do I just bite the bullet and buy the ARB lockers front and rear when I do that?
