1997 Lexus LX-450. Clean vehicle history with only 123,XXX original miles. Factory eLockers. Dual purpose rig. Built for extreme trail use but can be, and is, my daily driver.

I have restored this vehicle to better than factory original condition. Beautifully reupholstered interior. Leather seats, steerling wheel and shifter re-wrapped. New headliner. All door panels, new leather with custom speaker grills that look factory.

Paint is near flawless. Original paint polished and wet sanded. No swirls and no trail pinstripping. All off-road accessories painted and clear coated same color as two tone trim mouldings.

Upgraded late-model options installed: LCD screen in rear view mirror with backup cam. Temp and direction in mirror as well. Heated seats. Custom polk audio sound system with 8" sub behind quarter panel. Has BlueTooth and iPod capability.

Off-road accessories too much to list: OME lift; geared; Five 35" Toyo Open Country MT tires with most all tread left on Lexus factory wheels. Front ARB bumper with 10,000 pound Warn winch; Synthetic rope; wireless remote; Hanna rear bumper with full size spare and jerry can/cooler rack; Sliders; Chromoly Birfields; In-dash CB; HiLift jack...

This vehicle was built right, with each detail thought of. The entire interior and body panels were covered in RAAMat which is just like Dynomat, sound deadening material. Very quiet inside.

Between me and the previous owner, there is over $50,000 invested in this rig. I love a project and am selling to start a new one. This vehicle gets tons of compliments. Asking $26,000.

At full asking price, will throw in a bunch of spare trail parts.

Wow. Quite a bit out of my range. Nice truck though. Best wishes on finding a seller.

If you later decide that you're feeling really charitable, let me know so I can file the proper non-profit paperwork. :D
 
bump for an awesome truck I can't afford :(

GLWS!

Beautiful 80!!

I have seen some really nice 80's in the $20K range lately but not sure if they were able to sell at that kind of price. GLWS
 
Price is negotiable for serious buyers. Would be hard to find an LX in better shape with more mods... May not get it, but just testing the waters.
 
What size lift is on the vehicle? Do you have more pictures of the exterior/underbody?
 
Will post more pictures and info soon. I have had a lot of pm's with interest in the same information.
 
Additional information on truck below. Don't have enough light tonight to take pics of underneath, but there are no rust issues and no leaks. Will post additional pics soon.

Reider Racing 4:88 gears installed.
OME 4" competition springs
OME shocks front and rear
OME steering damper
Slee caster correction kit
Slee front adjustable panhard rod
Slee rear adjustable panhard rod
Slee front and rear swaybar drop brackets
Slee bumpstops

All professionally installed by a Dallas area Land Cruiser specialist, Basically, if something could have been done to improve this truck, it was done. And it looks as good as it is built for off-road use.

I have seen this truck in person and it is nearly flawless.
If your looking you should check this rig out.
 
Here are the last of the pictures. No rust. Just dirty in the pics. Again, all belts hoses, anything that needs replacing has been replaced on this vehicle. Buyer will not be disappointed.

New Price: $26,000. You can not build a rig like this for near this price. I have had a lot of offers, and a couple have come close to what I will let it go for. Going on eBay soon...
