It was that LX 470 ASMR TikTok that gave it away!

Great truck, theres a few weak links specifically the heater core tees and radiator degrading due to time. Otherwise pretty buletproof motor! Looks clean. Im planning on putting a 2 inch lift and 33 inch tires on mine. Good vid

At 9 min you mention you wish it had cup holders in the arm rest. However it should be in the center console near the floor. It’s a pullout rectangle and that’s where the cup holders are for the back seats are.

I love how much you love your old truck

Dude, beautiful. Previous owner had some good taste

Agreed! I would have done the same things to it. I do want to add bumpers and a rack to it down the road but I definitely don’t want to this thing to get too crazy.

I’d say go with Gobi roof rack. They’re built extremely well compared to other slim profile brands. Only issue is they’re pricey and built to order

Those 4.7s last forever!

I’ll have to look into that!

Love this video! Great purchase. Welcome to the LX fam! So for 100 series. Only the very early model land cruisers had a rear locker with the center locker. 98-07 LX470s never got a locker option I believe. The 80 series land cruisers were the ones that you could get “triple locked.” A center locker really isn’t anything crazy, it just puts it in true 4hi as opposed to being in awd. You can also buy the “part time kit” from cruiser outfitters which allows you to have manual hubs and make the truck 2wd (rwd) which can help with fuel economy and be useful on the trails. Definitely a solid find dude. Stoked to see the progress on this

Toyota ATRAC kind of replaces the need of solid lockers, it's the system that "breaks" a spinning/popped wheel sending power to its sister wheel. Not as good as triple locked, but it should take care of anything but the most severe rock crawling. I think this is the compromise they struck when they decided on IFS

200,001 miles awesome daily man i hope it will be a good daily for you. As always have fun

Thank you!

Have had my 05 LX for almost a year and it nice. Figure out how to properly use the 4WD, get off the pavement, and test out the CDL and 4L just to make sure it is working properly. I had to change a switch on the CDL because it would not properly unlock and the A-TRAC was not kicking in. Do keep in mind they are old and some things will start to fail of just need to be replaced. My alternator failed on me and that was not cheap. I did swap out some of the door weather stripping because they would cause so much noise. Parts are expensive so just be aware of that. But I do like it and when my daily got totaled recently the LX is now my main ride.

Good to know! I will be replacing the radiator soon. It’s the original one.

My 06 LX just crossed 245k. With gas being as expensive as it is, I cannot daily it but I do go out to the mountains up 4x4 trails a fair amount with it. My personal advice: the load leveling hydraulic height control is much better than what you can replace it with. It’s the best of both worlds. Good highway performance and 2” lift when needed (2.5” if t case is in low range). You are going to want to follow YotaMDs video on doing a AHC health check. I got replacement accumulators from Japan for much cheaper than you can get in the US. Now it rides like new again. The ride quality on the AHC system is hard to beat for something that size. Maybe a Range Rover? By the way mine has grey interior too. I love it. Also - setting the t case in low automatically locks the center differential and turns off VSC. Since yours is a non vvti, it might not sound great but mine when the vtec kicks in yo - it sounds gnarly. Also watch out for heater t leaks and every 90k miles do the timing belt, pulleys, tensioners, water pump, drive belt and bobs your uncle, the engine will far outlast the body. Oh and there are cup holders in the back at the rear of the center console. None of the 98-07 100 series were triple locked. The 98/99 models had optional rear diff locker but it was all replaced by A trac which is pretty good.

Great vehicles. Very popular here in Australia. Im guessing 278k miles

Just got one this week 2003 LX470 204K

Nice!

My wife's got one with about 240k miles on it, and I liked it so much that I have a 100-series LC with 252k on it. Mine is built. Hers is closer to OEM but we added a bumper. Absolute tanks.

Your rear cup holders are in the center console

Where did you find this Lexus in such nice condition?!?! It is in great shape; my guess is that it spent most of the time down South! I am jealous.

Different platform than sequoia. Sequoias are quite a bit longer and have Coilover ifs. These also have a larger rear 9.5 diff compared to sequoias which I believe are 8”
