I am offering for sale my Lexus LX 450. The only reason for selling is that I am considering another project. My family and I have made several trips in this truck including a 3,000+ mile trip from Texas to Oregon (via: New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, California, Utah, Nevada). I would not hesitate to drive this thing anywhere.
