2005 Lexus LX470 (100 series Land Cruiser)

Located in Port Angeles, WA

249,xxx miles

$10,900

Mild overland build that strikes a great balance between on road comfort and off road capability. It’s been a very comfortable, solid, reliable vehicle for many family adventures over the last 10 years.

Here are some highlights of the build:
  • 2-3 person Tepui RTT with vestibule
  • Custom rear cargo setup with ARB (50qt) refrigerator/freezer on slide-out; can also be setup as a sleeping platform for 1 person; separate locking compartments that are accessed from behind the rear seats
  • Gamiviti full length roof rack
  • ARB awning (2000x2500)
  • Dual battery setup with 100 amp-hour deep cycle battery and switch for isolating the 2nd battery from the starting battery
  • Upgraded HID headlights
  • AHC removed and replaced with Old Man Emu torsion bars and coils (medium)—approx 2” lift over stock height
  • Ride Rite airbags in the rear for increased/adjustable load capacity
  • Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell shocks front/rear
I purchased this vehicle from the 2nd owner in 2014 with 120,000 miles and it has spent most of its time with me in New Mexico until I moved to the PNW 2 years ago. It was originally a Texas vehicle so it’s spent most of its life in dry, salt-free climates.

Recent maintenance performed:
  • Alternator rebuilt at 175,000 miles
  • The well-known heater Tee problem was fixed at 177,000 miles
  • 215,000 miles: timing belt, H2O pump, serpentine belt
  • 216,000 miles: Steering rack bushing replaced
  • 226,000 miles: Replaced front wheel bearings/races/seals, replaced tie-rod boots L&R, replaced driver side CV boots (inner and outer)
  • 243,000 miles: Replaced front brake pads
  • 249,000 miles: Replaced air filter, spark plugs, upper/lower radiator hoses, radiator fan clutch and engine coolant. Checked valve clearance
  • Engine oil, air filter and partial drain/refill of AT fluid has been done on a regular basis
Being a 20 year old vehicle of course it’s not perfect:
  • Front driver seat leather is torn on bottom cushion—both front seats have seat covers on them
  • The body has some imperfections due to a string of bad luck in parking lots
  • Minor leak in the steering rack. It started shortly after I purchased the vehicle and it hasn’t gotten noticeably worse over the years. I’ve probably topped off the fluid twice in 9 years
  • Sunroof was acting up (it didn’t want to close completely), once I got it to close, I disabled it by pulling the fuse
  • The sound system subwoofer stopped working. All speakers could stand to be upgraded
Otherwise, all interior electronics are functional.

Includes the following spare parts:
  • OEM Denso fuel pump-new
  • 3 OEM coil packs-new
  • Toyota air filter

If you're interested in selling the ARB awning separately I might be interested. If so, I would request a price and additional pics.

Otherwise, GLWS!
