Hello Everyone, I am happy to finally join the LX470 family with the purchase of this fine 2000. I have been lurking in the shadows for 2 years and was finally able to find a 100 series that was solid and within budget. I am really looking forward to the many years of joy/pain that this truck will bring. We are stepping things up from a '94 4runner and are finally able to fit all 3 car seats into something that can head up to the mountains (CO) and enjoy the scenery (wife has a Sienna which is comfy but can't quite make the good camping spots). I am incredibly exited about the garage additional that the previous owner gifted me for storage of the 3rd row seats. He is a hobby woodworker and made this bench to make use of the 3rd row when not installed. He also built out the drawer system for the back! Right now there are no plans to kit this out for offroad as it will be my daily driver and needs to haul the kids comfortably until they are not all in car seats
. I have already found this community to be incredibly helpful and have solved a key/fob issue already with previous threads. Right out of the gate I need to replace front CV axles and brackets and do a front brake job but other than that this truck is good to go. We eventually want to get a small pop-up style camper that we can tow and do some more comfy camping but that is likely a year or two down the line.
