Lexus LX470 Features - Pleasant Secrets and Surprises (Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series) 

As dated as it may be, I really like the warm classic look of the wooden trim and center stack of this version of the LX. The facelift version looks bland imo.

I removed the AHC system and replaced it with a conventional OME suspension with 3 inch lift and it did not impact ride comfort, but gave me a conventional suspension that will take a beating offroad. After 10 years with our 2000 LX470 I am having pains considering selling it to pay off the Tundra we picked up. Such a nice ride and even after 20 years holds up to anything on or off-road.

Nice and informative video. Very good clean LX specimen you're sporting there Sir. The HVAC controls not integrated in the touch screen is actually pre 2003. 2001-02 had the first style of touchscreen then quickly changed in 2003-2006. My family currently has two 2000 LXs, 2004 LX, 2006 LX and '99 Land Cruiser (and two '96 LXs). And have own several more LXs and LCs like these. My most recent purchase was a cashmere beige metallic just like yours. The LX/LCs are excellent vehicles to say the least. Based on my experiences driving these beasts since 1996, I can't imagine there is another vehicle built on earth that is a better designed, more reliable and cost less to own (not new).

I just bought an 01 and I absolutely love it!! Thanks for the info bud

Dude actually really cool and inspiring! you made some nice points about the rig and some I still melt over every time I get in and out of my 100 series toyota. I will be making a video within the next few weeks on my current outfit. Got my 03 in August and have slowly been rebuilding suspension/old parts. Add-ons hopefully soon lol. Happy cruising!

Thank you!

Love this! I have this exact car but I’m Metallica blue! And I never knew the seats can recline like that in the back 😊

I am in Aus, purchased a 2001 Lx470 with 260,000 kays, love it.The AHC is brilliant, it had all been replaced just before I purchased the vehicle, but the main thing is keep it serviced like the rest of the car and because these things are so well made it will give many years of trouble free ownership, only negative is they do like a drink, but mine has been converted to LPG and in Aus it cuts the fuel cost in half, gotta love that !!

Beautiful ride!! Mind sharing how much you landed it for?

Nice ride and the seats look mint. You may want to consider a seat cover behind any kid’s seats you install to prevent damage with discoloration to leather. My 05 has damage from previous owner’s. Thanks for the content.

How do these do with car seats in the second row? Is it roomy or pretty tight?

My mom had this car for about 20 years but we’ve gotten rid of it a few years ago and now we are in an argument that there was an indicator for when the driver/ passenger isn’t wearing a seatbelt. So you know if there is some kinda light that blinks?

What rear camera and stereo?

Just bought a '99 with 98k miles. Psyched on it. Question: what was that aftermarket stereo you have in there?

have an 01 with 225k. best vehicle i ever owned.

Get the rear hatch struts , mine would also hold up but wouldn’t push up , got them on Amazon for $20

What’s the mpg?

I love the luxury of GX and LX but a loaded Sequoia is not too far off and quite bigger

Niceee, always wanted one of these. Not sure about the longevity of those air suspension though.

You inspired me to get a lexus. I recent brought a 02 Lexus Lx470 with only 140k. There are a few problems I need to get second opinion on the cause. 1. The car makes a cluck sound as it decelerates. It up shifts very smooth. Trans fluid looks good (darkred). What do you think the cause is? 2. This might be related to issue 1, when shifting between R to D there is a massive cluck or a kick. Your input on what the issues maybe will he greatly appreciated.

How serie?

I ditched those back seats, much better.

Good morning, brother. I am looking for one. Is the car for sale?

Mam takiego
