Yep doing polys while I'm in there. One side down, one to go. It would be a weekend job but I have a 7 week old daughter that is taking up most my time good thing I've got the T4R and 85 to swap out . I'm in no hurry except that I have a pile of stuff I want to bang out on the mule

 

This may not technically be a Toyota, but it's still a Toyota product, and it's 16 years old!

This is my Grandma's 2002 Lexus RX300 Coach Edition, which she bought new in May or June of '02! The Lexus only has 80K original miles, and aside from a few dead batteries (due to lack of use; 16 years old and only 80K miles; Grammy doesn't drive much!), it has not had any significant problems!

My Grandma bought her Lexus from a dealer in South Florida (she lived there at the time), and this probably has something to do with why it DOES NOT have two options that are quite sought after in the Northeast! The Lexus is front-wheel drive and DOES NOT have heated seats. I can confirm that despite not having optional all-wheel drive, it does very good in the snow.

My Grandma loves Coach products, and she narrowed her choices down to this one and a black one that cost roughly the same. She chose this one because she liked the color better and it came with a Coach luggage set.

Almost 16 years later, this Lexus has been virtually trouble-free, and as such my Grandma is very hesitant to get rid of it (though she would like to get something newer with a backup camera and an automatic rear liftgate)...

This was my 1985 totally unmolested and ran great. 225k on the counter and still going strong......then the wife said it must go. So I bought this.

 

I would have let the wife go.

 

She now has come to recognize the tragedy of the 4Runner and ok I still have another one that I will never sell.

 

Sooooo, how much?

 

One million dollars ..........

 

Ah, so there is a chance!

 

Just bobbed and dovetailed my SASed 1990 crawler.

 

Picking up an 85 on 40's tomorrow. So excited. I will need to go through this thread tomorrow

 

Here it is. Had to function test it.

Relatively soon plans: full fluids, hybrid cage.

 

1990 toyota pickup 22re 4x4. 135k on the dash, not too bad.
After a days worth of comound and polish

 

I know this is 7 years old but anyone know how to get an old set of machined wheels looking like this ? As you can see from my previous post, my wheels are a bit dull. I've heard of sanding out the clear coat and sanding out imperfections and recoating. I was wondering if anyone has any experience doing so. thanks

 

Are your wheels aluminum? If so, I've had great success with Mothers aluminum polish. Your truck looks killer, by the way

 

Thanks for the suggestion and comment.

 

These are getting harder and harder to find!

 

My 97 land cruiser which I love Bought this 1980 in NM and just sold it for this awesome 85
