For Sale | 1997 Lexus LX450/ Land Cruiser FJ80 | $20,000

[matertat]

I bought this truck in 2019 from Florida (The frame is so clean you can eat off it!) with the goal of turning it into an overland vehicle. It is now in Orange County New York. It is running like new. Maintains oil level, and drives and shifts beautifully. It has been an awesome rig, and it was going to be long term ownership (why I have done so much mechanical work) but something came up in our family, and unfortunately, I need to sell it. Right now there is 220k miles, but this is a daily driver, so they will be accumulating slowly. Only serious inquiries please.

Here is a walk around video:
