This is what she started life as and was purchased in 2007 by another mud member ERG80 so I can't take credit for any of the build but it is one awesome rig. This is the best maintained, clean, loved and modded cruiser I have seen come through the classifieds on Mud. I bought her to replace my original 1993 Dark Emerald Pearl that was hit. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/352090-newbie-intro-93-fzj80.html This one is everything my first cruiser dreamt of being.

1996 Land Cruiser Dark Emerald Pearl F&R Lockers.

Best Cruiser ever.

If you ever decide to repaint it I think this would be fitting:

Nice, you built it man, I'm just going to enjoy it. Thanks again for everything. You really are a man among men.
You think Line-X could pull that off?

Thank you.

Yeah. looks like an easy line-x job. haha. Video their response when you ask them.
 
Nice rig!

Sideways snorkel???
 
In addition, the detachable Safari air ram can be rotated to any position. This means great peace of mind for those who plan to travel in cold or high altitude conditions where heavy snow falls are anticipated. By rotating the air ram to face away from the prevailing wind/direction of motion, the air ram delivers additional protection from the choking effects of snow build-up inside the air intake.
 
Very clean Rig. Do you have a link your particular (or PO's in this case) catch can install off of the PCV?

Just a FWIW, I live at 8,000' in a place called "Snowmass", and a forward facing snorkel is not an issue. I doubt it would be in Indiana either...;)
