My Land Cruiser currently is not the most modded thing in the world, but it is a slow process for me and I appriciate all the information and advice this forum has given.
I bought my 80 last June with 118k miles on it. It's a 1997 40th Anniv. in Emerald Pearl Met.
My first mod was an Alpine CD player and a Cobra CB. I wanted to put my CB in the dash and I really needed to install something to run my Phenoix Gold amp and 10" MB Quart Referance sub.
My next mod was swapping the turn signal and parking light in the front. I did this with the expectation that I would have an ARB winch bumper someday, but I will talk more about that in a bit.
The next mod was removing the running boards, reciever hitch, factory roof rack and rear air deflector. This is the hardware I decided to use:
Next, after much deliberation, I bought a set of 33x12.50R16 Super Swamper Trxus MT's and put them on a set of 16x10 Rock Crawler wheels I had in the garage with 4.5" backspacing. Everything fits perfect, but I will def be swapping the wheels out to an 8" wide wheel. I love these tires, but they do take a lot of weight to balance, just like any Swamper:
My next big modification was my J springs and L shocks. I am running no castor correction and I am quite impressed with the suspension on and off the road.
The latest modification that my Cruiser got was a custom drawer/sub box:
