To clarify on the suggestion to take out the net and lights. Most buyers paying big money, in my opinion and from what I've seen, want either a stock "clean slate" truck or a fully built trail-ready truck. Generally the trucks that are pictured as slightly modified in a personal manor don't do as well as one of the before-mentioned.

While the lights may help with visibility or be utilitarian, most folks want to spend premium $ for low mile clean slate trucks that they can make their own, especially buyers on that site. I swapped my headlights for different housings entirely like you did because the stock lights are dismal so I definitely understand the struggle with factory lighting :)

For instance, if I were to list my truck there, I'd take off the sliders and put the running boards back on, and probably swap an OE exhaust on as well as other items to take it back closer to stock.

Purely my opinion but just wanted to expand a little on my earlier statement. I spend entirely too much time on BaT and C&B watching auction results so these are just things I've noted trends with. Regardless, it's a beautiful truck and I'm sure it will do well if you decide to list it!
Gotcha. Thanks for your advice. I'll do just that. Wonder if I should pull the nice new glass headlights with HID retrofit and put the original halogens back in?
Figured they'd add value (to a mud member at least) but looks like not so for the BAT community.

I would. Polish up the plastic housings with Meguiars plastx...it worked great on the LX i had...which i wish I hadn't sold to @roadstr6!! Hindsight, sigh!

Agreed. Those shiny new glass housings with SC430 projectors will sell quickly to a mud member. With the new brackets being sold, the retrofits are more popular than ever. I just wish they were around when I did mine. I had to do mine old school and cut the old one up and modify it to use as a mount.

I was about to respond to Sam when I saw your post, Jon. As previous LX owners, we knew we would love this truck when we were fortunate enough to be able to buy it from you. We are so happy to have it. I knew you'd regret selling it, but you can rest assured that it is in good hands. The bells and whistles of a new GX just don't compare to the size and comfort of the old LX470. Trading "down" from a '17 GX with 40K miles to an '07 LX with 112K was one of the best decisions we have made in a long time.
 
Anyone around the Triangle have a serviceable 265/75r16 tire you want to let go cheap? Just looking for one to use as a spare, tread type unimportant - just looking for one that holds air and can be safely (temporarily) run.

Thanks; and yes, I am going BIG! upgrading from 245/75r16 on the Taco to the 265's, 31's here I come!
 
Joe. I will check my parts out back. I think I have one on a spare 80 rim.
will let you know later. Free if I have one.
 
I'm looking to buy a 2001-2004 Tacoma Ext Cab 4x4 with the V6 if anyone has one for sale or a lead. Thank you.


Color is kinda cool.

Edit: color is prolly not for everyone :)

I updated and added more maintenance info and mods to my interest post on the '07 LX470
Feeler:

I might be looking to sell my 2007 LX470 with
160,900 miles.

Price TBD (still researching)

Pricing for LX's seem to be all over the place now so the range between KBB & various online auction sites seem to have a pretty wide range.

It's a clean, reliable family hauler, never been Offroad.

Has some minimal mods. Comes with newer grey LX floor mats & weather tech mats 1st, 2nd rows & cargo.
- Rangler cargo net,
- ScanGauge II in the overhead console
- Group 31 battery tray
- Morimoto Strike 2.0 LED high beam / DRL
- Phillips LED DRL on the bumper (3M taped)
- Landcruiser corner light mod with actual Landcruiser corner lights with Toyota connectors. It's now a dual filament bulb that blinks with the front turn signals & serves as a marker light too.
- Vais Tech SL3B, Bluetooth music adapter. It emulates the CD changer and allows you to play music from your phone on the vehicle stereo. 2001-2009 Lexus Bluetooth Factory Radio Adapter | VAIS Technology - https://www.vaistech.com/product/sl3b-l/

Recently added brand new Lexus LX470 glass headlights (25 miles ago) and transferred over my SC430 HID projectors with Denso ballasts from my late model plastic headlights. I installed brand new Weathertech Headlight guards on them too. They are mint and light up the night.

Just seeing if there is any local interest first before posting up in the main section and (don't flame me) but BAT too, possibly.

Service;
-Timing belt was done at 91,000 miles
- Mobil 1 oil changes with Toyota filter every 5,000 miles.
I baselined it when I bought it in 2012 with full fluid changes.
- steering rack was replaced a few years ago. (Will update when I pull receipt) ($2,400)
- Windshield replaced about 10,000 miles ago. Using all new Lexus seals, trim pieces and rivets ($1000).
- All Windows except windshield are tinted with Suntek Ceramic film from Sunstoppers. Front doors are legal and have passed inspection multiple times.
- Replaced all 5 TPMS sensors & it has a brand new matching spare (Michelin Defender LTX M/S), the four tires have plenty of life left at 6/32 tread depth.
