Dude, that is going to be one sweet rig once you get those mods on there! I have often thought about going the LC route...

Thanks,

You might want to have a yotatecher or a friend in PA give the LC a once-over before funds are exchanged. I actually paid a yotatech member $50 to scope a vehicle in OKC and give it a once over before I actually paid for it. He took a bunch of pictures and I felt pretty good about the sale, so I sent my deposit.

I bought that one on ebay.

GAS PRICES...

When it gets 13MPG and gas is over $2/gallon, then stuff like that Cruiser gets CHEAP!

Ya that sounds good ranma, the place where you bought it is only about 40min away from me. Just let me know, hopefully I will get the R-title by then

Thanks,
Mario

Well, there are a few things wrong that I know of. catalic converter is gone!! $400 for part alone. front control arms, stabilizer end links and brake needs to be replaced soon. I really dun care too much since I can fix then myself and the control arm bushing will be replaced by the ome caster correction kit too. I was thinking to add fornt and rear arb lockers, but that setup alone will run me over $2500. I sold my runner for $8k. And I plan to get a bigger, bullet proof rig for future cross country expedition. LC seems to have more aftermarket support all over the world. It make more sense to get a LC with locker than adding locker to my runner which comes out more!! a week ago, me and my bro-in law scored a 96 LX450 for $12700 with 118k with no lockers. SO I think this is not bad deal after all.

LC parts are expensive . That's why luxury vehicles depreciates so much. So thats why Toyota came out with the Sequoia.
