    Also, guess the previous owner had nasty ass kids, one of them named Cooper apparently.

    Copper drew himself on the back of the middle seats. Anyone know how to get sharpie out of leather?

    This thing needs a DEEP cleaning. I may end up removing the entire interior sans the dash. Carpet and all...may as well sound deaden the thing while I’m at it since I’ve got all the stuff sitting in a box...

    just realized I forgot to order a trans filter and pan gasket, fuck.

    shit, probably another couple hundo in fluid I gotta buy.

    3 gal of WS atf
    3 gal of coolant
    front and rear diff oil
    t-case oil
    engine oil and filter
    air filter
    cabin filter
    misc hoses and clamps

    luckily it had a new radiator put in 28k miles ago, else I would have needed one of those too.

    You doing all of this as preventative or is something going on that is making you want to replace all of it at once?

    It's still on the original timing belt as far as I know, sitting at 229k miles now.

    The first owner had it serviced at Lexus up until 88k miles, and there is no record of it being done on the Lexus Drivers site. Sold it right before it was due at 90k...The previous owners I bought it from, purchased it at 88k from the first owner and drove it until 228k when I got it. It was never changed in that time, I confirmed with them...all they did was change the oil.

    So yeah, it NEEDS to be done.

    Good god! That’s insane. Previous owner was playing with fire. Totally would be replacing everything you’re doing too at that point.

    brakes and suspension are next after that. I've got the stuff for the 460 swap up front already. The rears look fine, only thing I'll do there is braided lines. Maybe Whiteline bushings if any of them look bad.

    yeah, getting all the maintenance items up to date are first priority since it was neglected, then a deep cleaning.

    Might as well pay the dealer to do cam seals if you’re going that far. Cams have to come out to do it

    Yeah, here is the FSM procedure...doesn't look terrible, but not for the faint of heart...HOPEFULLY they aren't leaking, but I know they will be since most people change them out on the 2nd or 3rd belt change.
