Price drop from $9500 to $9000 OBO. 3/5/2025. Also bought the missing fender flare with matching paint. Just need to make time to put it on.

Picked up this 1997 LX450 recently. Had plans to flip it as a rust free vehicle, or to put a rebuilt 1FZ-FE into it. No time on the horizon. Would be a great candidate to do an LS swap or a diesel swap. I’ll list the known parts the PO stated were replaced before the engine failure. Vehicle has a clean Mississippi title.

-ARB front bumper with badlands 9500lb winch. (Wireless remote missing)
-4x4Labs rear bumper with spare tire swing out & Jerry can swing out.
-Old Man Emu 2.5” Lift 2850 front, 2860 rear. OME shocks & steering damper as well.
-DeltaVS 2” radius arms with new bushings.
-RCV axles up front. Not sure on the spline counts.
-Knuckle/birf rebuild. Birfs look clean and not caked with old crud.
-New brake booster.
-Drilled/slotted rotors, recent brake job.
-New power steering pump & reservoir.
-New BFG tires 285/75R16. Lots of tread, look brand new.
-New Radiator & fan shroud.
-New belts & hoses all around. They all look new and there are no leaks besides the hole in the block 😂.
-Huracan tailgate storage.
-Wits end EGR delete.
-Wits end nut huggers.
-Spare block, head, valve cover.

Vehicle has $8600 in bumpers, tires, lift, winch, RCV axles, & radius arms alone. The paint is in pretty good condition. Great paint compared to the New Mexico cruisers I’m used to dealing with.

I towed this vehicle here using a U-Haul 2 wheel dolly with the rear driveshaft disconnected from the rear diff. So if you’re looking to come pick it up, that worked really well for me.

I also have a spare 1fzfe + transmission for sale too. I picked it up from a mud member in Lubbock, TX who did an LS swap in his 1994 Land Cruiser. Could make it a package deal for the right price. Message me if you want to buy all of it.

Thanks for looking. Will post more pictures in the daylight tomorrow.

The roof is not faded, I just haven’t scrubbed all the pecan pollen off.

Seats are in pretty rough shape, but some specter off-road or some other seat covers would work fine. The foam is still pretty cushy. They are definitely softer than my 93.

Labs rear bumper (built with both swings) $3485
Arb front bumper with winch $1400
RCV axles ~ $1000
Delta 2” radius arms ~ $1400
OME lift ~ $1200
Huracan Tailgate storage - $375

I recalculated because I had the cost of the rear bumper wrong in my first post. Total of just the bolt on bits above is $8860, not including new brakes all around, new hoses, radiator, brake booster, new tires, etc etc.

I know the market has softened on these, so just shoot me an offer. Worst I can say is no thanks.
