I know...this belongs in for sale... but I drove this today and it's an awesome beast. No affiliation to seller.

and I take it you didn't like it enough to buy it? What's wrong with it?

Not much... it needs a shift boot installed as it's different from the new tranny. The interior leather is splitting on the seats...the rear locker needs attention.
As far as not buying it...I'm not in the market for a LC...i have a Montero that I'm happy with.
Just wanted to pass along the info...

I don't think that is the build of the truck just one like it.

That seems like a pretty good deal if the swap was done well.
At the Expo I drooled all over the one that Slee built.
Cool concept.

I believe it's the actual build of the truck...that's what I came away with after speaking with the current owner.
