Today I negotiated a deal on another LX450 for my daughter Sarah. She won't be 16 until October, but I have been watching and this was too good a deal to pass up.

1996 LX450 - No Lockers

Having a 2.5" lift Installed as part of the deal. Also went to 4wheelparts and she bought an ARB bumper for it for $660 (Big Sale).

I went with one without lockers because of all the other good stuff

Headgasket done,
Front axle done
PHH Done
New radiator
and lots of other goodies.

Sarah's name on mud is ROD! (Romers Other Daughter), so be nice if you see her on line.

Romer, can you be my daddy?

Man, 2 80's, 3rd gen & 4th gen 4Runners + a 40! Let me guess, you like Toyota suv's!

ARB $660! that is a sale. I checked their website says $739.99 for ARB Deluxe Bull Bar, or With our employee pricing special, only: $666.09. ... employee pricing special ?

Good job dad!

nice!! and you know it will always get her home safe too (3.00 a gallon and 14 miles per doesnt mean a thing when it comes to walking away from an accident) i would put my offspring in a 80/450 cruiser before anything else... if i had offspring!!

Awesome! Clean LX

All I got to say is that your daughters are lucky.

Please tell them that.....let them know how lucky they are to be driving the rigs they are driving...especially with gas prices these days.

Is that the LX450 that was advertised on MUD? That was a great deal! You're the best dad ever!

Wow - looks like a smoking deal to me You should do what my parents did on my first car, gave me the family CJ-7 with a 401 cid and one tank per week. Didn't get me very far

Great looking truck She is a lucky girl.

DOR has a sweet ride of her own. DOR didn't want a cruiser as they were too big, and ROD didn't want a 4runner because she liked the way the 80 handles. Both girls got what they want. Except DOR has more features on her truck, ROD will have to wait.

You're a cool dad! My first car was an '86 Buick Century!

Thanks David,

Mine was a 71 Cutlass Station Wagon that I bought from my parents. Funny how they wanted to get rid of a car so I had to buy it, at a discount of course.

It's purley shefish reasons. For two years in a row at cruise Moab I have let one of my daughters drive about half the time. Wouldn't have it any other way though. Now they will have their own trucks and I can drive my own. Look for the Romer caravan next May on it's way to Moab.

I can top that. My first car was an AMC Pacer. I fish bowl on wheels.


Romer,
Nice start to a stable. Maybe we should call you Landpimp

 

[extremetoy1]

My first car...

I got stuck with a 76 Buick Lesabre four door with a 455 engine.... about the same gas mileage as all of our cruisers (who minds it when you are driving a Cruiser!!!) too damn cool!

 

[ROD!]

I'm a lucky girl!

Dam right i have the best daddy!!!! as we all know my first car is the bomb.....and i am extremely lucky to have it...and just to let you all know i do listen to my father.......when he is waving my allowance in my face......

 

[Capocaccia]

Nice. If you dont mind me asking, what did you end up paying for it? My dad bought my brother his when he was 17 I think and I have always gotten my brothers hand me downs. But he paid 13k$ for it with 115k lockers and excellent condition. My brother got rid of it because he felt it wasnt a real SUV. Psh, Itll take his z71 Tahoe anyday.

I think we will all agree on the 80 vs the Tahoe?

You can get a ballpark from the ad in the classified asking $8500.

She has been carrying the picture around showing folks she got a car.

After the incident with daughterofromer in my Lexus showing the value of armor, Grandma asked if she had all the armor. I told her that we got a bumper, but sliders would have to wait. Grandma said she would pay for the sliders and told Grandpa to give me a check. She then said she would get that rear bumper Rachel wanted to be fair.

Both my girls are feeling pretty good today.

Now - do I get Sarah some good used 285's this winter or do I get 315's and give her mine, hmmmmm
