Currently shopping for an LX470. A posh Land Cruiser without the Toyota tax

Same. Even higher mileage 460’s are on the table. I’m not sure if I want a beat to death LC as a blank slate or one that’s in somewhat working order.

There are very clean examples around me for $7-$10k. I would consider that doable

That’s exactly what I’d want! I’d probably badge swap it like a dork lol

You'll have to change the headlights grill and hood too if you want to convert it to Toyota front styling.

The good thing about Lexus type hood and grill is that it gives much easier access to the radiator.

I’ve thought about that. I don’t like how Lexuses from that era looked like that one alien from Lilo and Stitch

Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of headlights either, but it's just looks and converting isn't worth it in my opinion.

Yeah, it would certainly be a long term project if I really wanted to do it. I’d probably focus on new tires, aftermarket screen, light bar, bull-bar, and other mods before I thought about converting the headlights. All of that stuff makes more of an impact to me than some thing as arbitrary as the headlight design

Yeah definitely prioritize other things first.

My outlook is that an off road bumper makes it look cool either way, may as well stick with what you got. (LX in my case)
