I am starting this thread to document my journey with this 2001 LX470. I have unimaginatively named it as Blue.
About a month ago while I was looking the MUD one last time in my bed I saw @CappyKD list his built up LX470 for unbelievably low price and jumped on it!
Since I have never bought any car sight unseen, I was very nervous about how it would go but Kirk was amazing to work with! He did way more than I would have expected of any seller! Always prompt in responding to my queries, going out of his way to expedite things and just in general being very generous with his time! Hat's off to him!
Current Condition: 160,000 miles - Not Running
Much to the chagrin of my poor wife - Blue arrived on the back of the trailer!
It has a long list of upgrades made over the last 10 years and being CA kept it is rust free! But it has been sitting at a ranch for about a year where mice chewed through a lot of wires and some hoses in the engine compartment. It needs a few injector harness and a couple coil plugs. Both batteries are also dead.
I will list the amazing number of upgrades in a separate post but want to note here, that it came with 4 brand new Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 295/70/18 (34.5") size
Pictures as she arrived:
