Hi all, just bought this 01 LX470 with 400,000kms on the clock.
It's going to be my daily for a little bit so I want to do every bit of maintenance I can before then.
This is what the previous owner has done:


Is there anything else to worry about while I still have a backup car?
Thanks!

I just got home two Fridays ago from picking up my LX in SoCAL. Shes a 00 that ticked 250k on our return to KCK.
It was a great road trip. 50% Interstate 50% state roads.
I was eyeing an 02 locally that sold before I could look at it. I almost pulled the trigger on another 02 that was in Fort Worth but the dealer was too firm on price and wouldnt work with the shop Id arranged to do UCI.
I found this one while looking at comparables. For whatever reason kbb values the 00 2500 more than the 02.
It was on autotrader for a few hours. I got it for 7400 supposedly a wholesaler called and offered 9 after we agreed on our over the phone deal.
I replaced the timing belt and waterpump with aisin kit. Serp belt, idler and tension, upper and lower rad hoses. Heater hoses and tees.
Baselined AHC.
Stopped at my local N A P A and picked up a few seals, a cv, spark plugs and a few other goodies.
Last night I stopped at the tdealer to get some clips and ahc fluid. Planning my xmas vaca.

Transfer case? A timing belt change normally covers the water pump and thermostat as they need removal to do the belt. Check rubber bushings between the swayer and lower front suspension on both sides. DEFINITELY replace the heater hose "T's" toward the rear of the engine on the passenger side. Grease the front wheel bearings and front driveshafts' splines. Grease the driveshafts...both u-joints have grease fittings as well as the sliding sections. More here .
