Which wheels/tires did you get? Do you mind posting a couple photos?I'm newish here but recently replaced my lifted GX470 with a 2013 one owner Texas LX570 with only 42k on it
I was looking for an LC but couldn't find a non-rust belt truck within my budget and now that I've had a few thou miles couldn't be happier with AHC!
It is by far the most versatile and well controlled 4x4 I've owned in the last 30 years and with 32's (275/65/ 18) it will go anywhere I need go and still gets 18mpg @75 on highway.
I say go LX!
I put in 5 spoke tundra alloys with 275/65/18 Cooper AT3 4S. Am totally happy with this combo. These tires are Mtn. snowpeak rated yet have good load rating (30psi RCTIP per Gaijin) and have been great in everything I've thrown at them.Which wheels/tires did you get?

That is bad. I hope it was hit while empty. How does that kind of carnage happen? What possible salvage value is there in what remains?
With front left suspension missing, significant enough impact to crush the timing chain cover, hood skin missing, and type of crumpling all over my bet is either offset impact then sent off a cliff/embankment, or just went off the embankment. Also with the way the roof was removed it’s possible it was a recovery and not a rescue. All doors and roof removed but b-pillars still in place isn’t a good sign. Though the driver side compartment itself seems decently free of problems. I don’t see any blood... but it might have been upside down too.
I’d love to know the story here.
A little KSL action. It was Utah and was a 2017 Land Cruiser so there you have it. Kill your wife, drive off a cliff.

$5k for a VIN. I'd be shocked if much else is salvageable, even for your level of modification, TonyNo idea how much these go for on auction but if it was 5k or 6k and I was stateside I'd consider it. I'd love another money pit.
Also, I'm going to assume these people are not doing well
2017 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER for Auction - IAA (iaai.com)
i might have seen the same one, but it was a 2009Desert Yeti,
I saw today on AutoTrader an 11 LX with 120K for $25K in San Diego. It’s stock, at a dodge dealer.
The only real negatives to the LX are the hideous front bumper on the current models and potentially the AHC if it breaks or isn't rated to handle the weight you want/need to carry. I don't know enough about the AHC to give you a useful answer there. Cosmetics are a personal thing, so that's definitely your call.
Yeah, I've heard that AHC is very reliable and had it and really enjoyed the benefits of it on my 2006 LX. But it is a potential failure point that's more troublesome to deal with than traditional shocks and springs if it fails where you don't have access to good service facilities.The Land Cruiser 200 is also sold as 5.1to armored car and AHC Specs Same Axles, same frame.
And did you see my trips through africa, south america, Iceland and europe with a AHC suspension based Land Cruiser 200 Diesel V8 (european specs)?
The vehicle is now over 8 Years and did pass the 68`000 miles (110`000km) on the clock. Over the past years we did live over an year inside of our Landcruiser.
It is depending on your country, how the GVWR is rated, and how far you can legalize it. Australia at sample allows till 3865 kg.
My travel weight is above the aussi limit named above, if fully restocked (fuel, water, food & drinks for 14days)...
My advise is always to travel legal, but a landcruiser 200 - or also the embedded AHC - can handle more without issues... Want to say, that the AHC is very solid, very comfortable, very capable. A reason to choose a vehicle with AHC!
@ Desert Yeti: maybe you all was lucky. If the water had raised hours later while all of you sleeping.... Good luck with choosing a new one!
