I bought a 97 LX recently. I chose primarily because of the selling price, cost, and the PO's records of repair. I think that when it comes folks here on the board who will modify the truck for offroad use, there is no practical difference between the two.
Unless you have a body-cladding fetish.

1) Leather in lexus is better/softer.
2) Lexus suspension is 10-15% softer, but this may not matter if you're getting a lift.
3) 6 disc CD changer in lexus
4) One of the back windows doesn't slide open in the lexus due to the cell phone antenna.
Those were the main differences to me.
Honestly, I'd go with whichever one of comparable mileage was cheaper and was locked (if you are comparing 1996 and 1997 toyota to the lexus). If you are comparing an older toyota (94 and earlier) to an lx, that would be different.
