Due to current circumstances, I’m reluctantly listing my 1997 Lexus Lx 450 “Maude” for sale to help with business expenses.
Factory front, rear, and center locking differentials (rare)
Would drive across the country tomorrow.
202k miles, I purchased in Feb ’19 with around 194k on it. Previous owner had since 2001/71k miles. He was an older guy and it was 100% stock when I bought it.
Salvage title, it was salvage when P/O bought it. Drives with no problems.
Very little rust, undercarriage is just dirty.
Tastefully modified for backcountry travel with the following:
• Front ARB Bumper
• Rear swingout on OEM bumper from Summit Cruisers
• 2” Dobinsons suspension lift with C22/223v coils
• Front swaybar disconnects from LCP
• Useless cubby insert from Wit’s end
• New pioneer MVX 300 touchscreen headunit
• 295/75/16 Toyo open country tires
Since I have owned it the following maintenance has been done:
• Headgasket, radiator, all rad hoses, oil change at 198k (3k in work)
• PHH hose, heater hose valve and associated hoses
• Fuel filter
• Fusible links
• Air intake hose and air filter
AC and heater both work fine, as do all windows and sunroof. I do have the third row seats, in good condition.
Things to mention:
• Slight play in front end. I suspect wheel bearing need adjusted. I also have a new steering dampener that goes with truck which should help to firm things up as well
• Key fob does not work. Maybe needs new batteries, haven’t tried
• I recently backed into a tree (doh) and had to replace the front passenger fender. Replacement is not as tidy as rest of vehicle and has some scratches and patch of primer on it. The fenderwell got a little mangled and it does not meet the fender perfectly (see pic)
• Wipers currently only work on high (needs new stalk)
• Tires are getting pretty worn and spare does not hold air for more than a day or two.
• Winch will be removed prior to sale
This truck is not perfect but better than most. It’s about as nice as I would want an 80 to be and still be used for its intended purpose. It has seen several trips to Death Valley, never a problem.
Price: $12.5k including Tepui Kukenam 3p tent, tepui awning, and Thule rack. $11.5k without rack and accessories.
Will consider trading for the right 3/4 or 1 ton SRW truck 4x4 only, with cash on either end.
