A Rock In The Pacific
Sup from this tiny ass rock in the middle of the ocean. (For now...)

Finally am the proud owner of a LC. (technically a LX)

So some info about the truck.
It was IMHO a hell of a deal. Friend lives in MI and checked it out for me. He's a master tech and also owns a 100 series, so he knows what to look for.
2000 LX470 323k miles. (honestly not alot if these are well taken care of and coming from a million mile NA Miata I'm not that worried)
Was a southern car most of its life.
Pretty much no rust. (you'll see in the pics)
Has AHC and it works. The only thing that doesn't work is the sun roof as of now, but it's closed and doesn't leak.
The only thing missing is the skid plate.

Plans are to baseline it, change ALL the fluids. (Diffs/TC/Coolant/maybe recharge/replace AC(Just the 134 not the comp or anything)
Owner was planning to to timing/WP but hadn't yet. So those are getting done.
Check brakes/wheel bearings and replace if needed.
Best part about this was it was 6k.

Congrats and welcome! You have a nice rig! DO NOT OPEN the Sunroof. It will never close again if you do! LOL. Take care of the maintenance and you will be golden!
 
Barely broken in! Nice grab!
 
lookin good man, what are the plans for it?
Overlanding/slight Rocklanding
Things will be bought/installed as needed. (sorta in this order)
After doing all that stuff to bring it back maintenance wise, also forgot if any bushings/motor mounts/etc need to be done I'm doing those. And removing/selling the running boards.
Then wheels/tires. 33s.
Air comp.

Suspension 2" lift and the things that will go with that. UCA/trailing arms/PCK/Diff Drop/New longer brake lines.

Armor: Victory Skids (recently found out the front skid COMES with a diff drop and drops the same amount as the SLEE one)/Probably Costal F/R bummers and same for skids to save money (full tubing for the front and dual swing outs on the rear). No body lift.

Probably a BL Apex 12k winch if I have to go new.

Things that haven't been fully figured out yet.
The electrical goodies.
It is almost guarantee going to have solar and definitely will not have a RTT.
Lockers when/if that time comes.
The drawers.

Right now I'm more waiting on my friend with the white 100 and his brother. Don't want to jump ahead of them.
We "hope" to be able to make it out to COTR next year and Rockies the year after that. (we already planed to hit up the PPIHC next year)
