This is the story of our current 80 Series Land Cruiser life and why we can't do an overland build of our 80 Series 1997 Lexus LX 450. This video gives a little history on the LX itself & briefly talks about our past rigs, travels, and plans for the future!

Man I remember my dad bought a 96 LX450 for $10-12k back in 05 after trading in our 98 limited 4Runner. I grew up with that truck and it was pretty much a part of my childhood. My dad would always tell me stories of driving that thing in the blizzard to racing someone in a Lincoln Sedan. But sadly it got totaled in 2015 and had to get rid of it unfortunately. But we got an 05 LX 470 now. But I still miss that old 80 series. I miss it everyday. 😢 Love the vid btw!!!!!

Beautiful LX450! If you're ever interesting in selling her (the LX, not the co-host) to someone who also has no desire to "Frankenstein" her, let me know. I'm currently shopping for LX470's. Thank you!

Great video guys and I have the same passion as you two are about the LX450. I bought my 97 LX450 in November of 2000 from a Lexus dealer in the bay area. It was a lease return and CPO with 21k on the ODO. I still have it today with over 280k on the ODO & serviced at Lexus dealer from day one. I have plans to repaint it and a complete engine overhaul soon. And I never ever ever plans to sell it!

WOW! You got the steal of the century & to still have it?? AMAZING!! Repaint & engine over haul will only improve your initial investment. :-) Hold on to it forever, these things are amazing time capsules. We wish we wouldn't have sold the lx, but we are really excited to share more about the diesel 92 HDJ80 we picked up. Thanks for watching!!

Nice couple with a great 80 series story. Over the years I have owned three 80 series and two 100 series. I still own a 96 LX450 I have had for almost twenty years in absolutely rust free mint condition. It is a southern vehicle with 87K original miles never off roaded and always garaged. I have kept a detailed service log book since I originally purchased the vehicle. Amazing vehicles built to last providing they are properly maintained. Again, nice story
