This vehicle has had over $38,000 invested into it. This is one of the best condition, most off-road ready LX450 or Land Cruisers you will see. The truck was fully modified and professionally build for extreme off-road use. However, only made it out three times due to a lack of time of the owner!

The base truck was bought from a single owner in Jan of 2007. It had 117,000 miles on it at the time. Only 5,000 miles has been put on since. And most of those were after the truck was modified. The truck had been under warranty previously and always serviced at Sewell Lexus. I have the full maintenance records from when it was serviced. The truck was babied and well taken care of. It has always been kept in a garage and is a Texas truck with no rust.

When I got the truck, full maintenance was completed using all Amsoil products, changing out every hose, belt and part that routinely breaks with age, and many other items you can read below. There are simply too many to list except in the excel format you can see. The truck was then lifted using expensive imported products and put on 35" Toyo tires with almost zero wear on them. There is a great deal of armor on the truck for rock protection. I have used best of breed from each manufacturer. Some of these items would take one year plus to even order today. There are NO dents in them or the truck. A new marine grade battery was installed last week, the truck has a 12,000 LB winch with synthetic rope and a wireless remote control. There is a dual radio / CB system in place and many other modifications. For the whole list see below, but in essence if something could have been done to improve this truck it was done.

The third row seat and second row seats were removed and a custom sleeping deck built with a massive amount of storage. Expensive slide out African Outback drawers were put in the rear. Neither these nor the deck rattle. There is also lift up storage for tools and side opening storage for spare parts. Functionally, this works great. I also still have the second row seats if you ever want to reinstall them. The truck has the original front and rear lockers and a locking center differential feature. Snorkel is properly installed for water use, and the vehicle has had other water proofing mods made as well.

Finally, the vehicle itself looks and runs great. The paint is in very good condition. There are no dents. The AC is cold, the vehicle drives straight, and the acceleration is good for a truck with this much armor. The Lexus sound system sounds great, all the power window and doors work, I have all three original keys and the keyless remote entry. It has all of the Lexus features and the sunroof also works well too. It gets a ton of looks driving around Dallas alone. It's being sold simply because I have not had time to use it.

A lot of time and work was put into the project. Butch Baker of Baker Tire, one of the primary Land Cruiser specialists in the area did most of the complicated work like the 4.88 gear install. Please ask questions if you are serious and have any!
