I never thought this day would ever come, I've decided to put the LX, Cygnus, up for sale. I named it Cygnus after the title character in a Rush song, Cygnus X-1, the god of balance. It's been the most capably balanced truck I've owned, equally comfortable both on and off road. It's been the perfect truck for out family the past 7-8 years and as we've become empty nesters we planned to finish the build into an overlanding rig, but due to my wife's health struggles, it doesn't look we'll get to use it as much as or the way we'd hoped. So, I've decided to sell and replace (for now) with a late model Tundra, and then shop for a future project in the form of either an FJ40 or Minitruck, or both 
.
Here's the deets:
I bought this truck while on a trip to Las Vegas with the family. It started life as a corporate vehicle in Arizona, was then purchased by a widow woman in Las Vegas, who traded it in for a newer car at a local dealership. At the time of purchase it had 92,000 well-maintained miles, and absolutely zero rust. It has since seen been built to it's current state and has only seen light/medium wheeling. Asking $29,500/obo. Title in hand.
Below is details of the build:
General info and major maintenance:
