Mechanic friend says that this is in great condition. Clean carfax, well maintained. Not wild about color but $16,200 out the door....thoughts from everyone

It'll be my first 100 series

From the pix that truck looks to be in near perfect condition. Has night vision too which is kinda cool. Seems like a legit price. No undercarriage pix tho. Was it always a southern rig? Rust may be a concern but again the pix make it look near perfect.

It's a funky color in person, I personally like it, and it looks great on a built truck. I seem to recall that there's a guy building a blue vapor LX and it looks bada$$.

What does night vision do? Not wild about color but maintenance is more important to me

i didn't see anything on the listing about Head's Up Display, but what it does is project a forward overlay onto the windshield (not very big, just in front of driver about 8x8" IIRC.

You can tell it has night vision from the windshield.

I have it on mine - when active, it uses the 'projector' headlights on the lower bumper to shoot out invisible IR light which is picked up by a camera mounted behind the rear view mirror. The image received by the camera is displayed on a reflective surface on the windshield directly above the dashboard. The image is black and white. The bulbs used by the system are regular $15 halogens, but there's a filter installed in the projector housing to only let the IR light pass. The system is available when it's dark, and when the headlights are on.

For me, it's actually more of a distraction to use the system than simply paying attention to the road. The system has a slight lag - so in my windy wooded, hilly country roads it's not extremely useful. The image displayed is somewhat small, and the resolution isn't great.

However, it is fun to tell people your truck has night vision.

Embrace the color! There are plenty of grey, white, silver, pearl... trucks on the road. When I was building my CJ, everyone said "light blue? really" Then, I finished it and all I heard was "Love that color!"

I personally cannot get over how the front end looks on the LX's, but maybe that's just me. Other than that it looks great.

It's a different color, they didn't make many. Once you build it, it won't be the focal point, esp if you trim it out in black.

 

[smltwnst100]

Thanks guys, not planning on building up anytime soon, just want a great reliable 100. Been looking for awhile but haven't found anything that meets all my criteria, this may be it lol

Looks super clean.

I haven't seen any LXs with this color on Mud modified.

Once you put your personal touches it will make it unique.

I get the color thing though. I had to have mine a specific color.

But look. It can do this!!!!

 

[smltwnst100]

Nice, that color looks the same

 

[OG 91 LC]

Exactly.

How much do they pay the buyer (monthly) for advertising fees?

It's a beauty as pictured, would be nice to have look at undercarriage. At that price I assume certified. Be handy for transmission ins. (TSB) transmission low speed shutter.

Introduction

FIFTH GEAR SHUDDER Service Bulletin : 00105 - JAN 28, 2005 NHTSA Item #: 10015192

Component: POWER TRAIN

Models affected: 2004-’05 LX 470 vehicles produced before the Production Change Effective VIN:
LX JTJHT00W#53553516 11/2004.
LC JTEHT05J#52073579 11/2004

Some 2004 and 2005 model year LX 470 vehicles may exhibit a shudder (or vibration) sensation, usually accompanied by a cyclic droning noise, when lightly accelerating (less than 15% throttle) after the transmission shifts into 5th gear (usually between 35 and 45 mph). This condition may be caused by water entering the transmission breather, contaminating the transmission fluid. The transmission breather has been changed to prevent water intrusion."

I'm not sure I understand the transmission comment.

See edit^^.

Gotcha, is that a warranty issue? How do I check it?

 

[bucfl]

That's a hell of detail job and a really good camera. That's a good price.

FYI, the color is not Blue Vapor Metallic (which I really like in person) - it is Eucalyptus Mica. When you see the two next to each other it is a big difference. The first is a silver, gray, blue combo and the latter is more of a lightish green.
