I purchased this vehicle in Chicago from a dealer who had it for sale for about 30 mins. When i purchased it it had a CEL for emissions. I drove it across country to SoCal where construction of this project would take place.
I replaced everything related to emissions and smog with new parts, i removed the intake and cleaned all the carbon, replaced the gaskets and most of the vacuum hoses and the intermediary intake tube between the air filter canister and the throttle body because it was split and sucking in dirty air. I replaced the cat and O2 sensors and had the exhaust completely replaced using a magnaflow muffler. once the vehicle ran well and passed the stringent smog test here in CA., i set about to building the LX up to the standards of going anywhere and having a good time while doing it.
Having been in business building off road vehicles for the last 30 years you can rest assured no shortcuts were taken.
- The front bumper is 1.75" .120 wall tubing and houses a smittybuilt 8K winch, the bumper is bolted to the frame so it can be removed for service.
- There are 11 forward facing lights on the LX
- the suspension was done in house and has a 3.5" OME lift (medium spring rate) with OME shocks (it rides beautifully)
- The rear bumper with dual swing-a-ways house the full size spare, hi-lift and the kolpin fuel cans and maxtrax
- there are two LED rear facing lights that go on in reverse and have a bypass switch to aid on setting up camp or trailside repairs
- there is a $900 rearview mirror with backup camera built into it. the camera is mounted to aid in backing up and hitching a trailer alone.
- the rear bumper has an additional pair of LED stop/turn/tail lights because the tire partially obscures the factory tail lights.
- the fuel carrier has a "euro" light in it, when the lights are turned on the red light stays on at all times (it is very bright)
- The LX has a set of bestop power boards which we custom fabricated mounts for so when a door is opened full length steps drop down to aid in entry
- the quad headlights have been converted to HID
- PHH done 1K miles ago
- I replaced the factory head unit so you can listen to a cd or any USB input device
- the driver seat leather is so-so
- the rest of the leather is in great shape
- the third row seats look BRAND NEW
- i installed a 1,000 wat inverter under the drivers seat
- the custom made roof basket can carry over 1,000 lbs. it is built from .095 tubing and fully welded (it is painted not powder coated) it needs a touch up
- all lights are on relays
- the 33" ProComp AT's are new and have roughly 3K miles on them. the wheels are factory FJ Cruiser and have been painted with outdoor furniture texture paint to match the factory paint (the lower plastic on the vehicle has also been painted with it). it has been on wheels and vehicle for 3 years, it looks great but could use a touchup.
- all decals can be removed
- i had the windows tinted
- there is a cobra all in one CB radio
- there are husky liner floor mats in the front and rear not the very rear.
- there is damage to the carpet in the very rear, it looks like someone transported a battery and acid got on the carpet.
- the paint is great shape for its age and while there are no dents there are various scratches indicative of a 16 year old off road SUV
- It has a safari snorkel and a K&N filter in the housing
- it has a scangauge that monitors fuel mileage, temps and gives an accurate speed
- on the freeway at 70MPH it gets 13-17MPG
- it has been on every trail in SoCal rated 5 or harder and does it with ease (pulling a trailer)
- I will miss this vehicle
I am selling this because i am going to use the money for a new business venture, there is nothing wrong with it that i know of. Last week it stopped running so i had to replace the fuel pump (lovely job).
I have a gallery online with over 200 photos of this vehicle. if you would like to see more photos please email me and i will send the link. finishlinewestinc at gmail dot com

Are you the Lexus GS F?
Mon, 29 Jul 2013It's been a while since we've heard rumors of the fabled high-performance Lexus GS F, but thanks to our eager spy photographers, this looks to be our first real proof of the machine's existence. We don't have the usual brace of photos from all angles to work with this time around, our spies saying that every time Lexus' garage door opened, engineers jumped in front of the cameras to prevent the car from being photographed.
Even so, we have a pretty clear glimpse at some significant changes to this GS sedan, including the same staggered, quad-pipe exhaust found on the Lexus IS F. There's also an air diffuser panel nestled between the exhaust outlets, as well as a larger lip spoiler and unique wheels (matching those of the RC coupe) wrapped in high-performance tires.
Last time we heard rumors of the GS F's existence, sources predicted that the M5-fighting sedan would use a tuned version of Lexus' 5.0-liter V8, producing something like 465 horsepower. We have also heard that the automaker plans to reduce weight wherever possible, and that the final curb weight will be something like 3,700 pounds.
Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations
Mon, 16 Dec 2013So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
