Howdy everyone! Now that I've gotten a few things taken care of on my rig, it's high time I say hi and introduce myself. My name is Matt and I live in North Georgia. I have a 1994 Land Cruiser imported from Japan.

Specs/features:

1994
1FZ-FE inline six
4.5 L
Center locking differential
Suede interior but has the custom leather upholstery from Toyota
MG Demon 16 inch wheels (seems primarily sold in Japan so don't have a ton of info on those yet)
Pro comp shops/springs
about 3 inch lift
Currently all Carrozzeria sound but will be swapping out head unit for one that's compatible with US bluetooth
Ultra red paint
and it's got the cooler/ice maker center console

Welcome

Thank you! I've got a buddy that has a youtube page. His girlfriend will take some better pics than I can with a real camera and he'll edit those pics as well as post a video which will paint a better picture. In the meantime, if there's anything specific you wanna see, I can snap a pic with my phone for ya.

Welcome ,Nice rig and really like the color

Thank you! Yeah the red is what pulled me into even opening the listing. It's a crazy red. Apparently it's used on Japanese fire trucks.

Welcome Matt!

I normally don't like red trucks, but that is exceptional! The color and highlights are a great match!

Thank you! Yeah I've never been interested in red. I ended up getting a "red" which was really maroon 5th gen 4runner because it was the only 4wd one I could get my hands on with low mileage. It ended up looking ok-ish with the black accents. but THIS, this is a completely different ball game. I mean, if you're gonna be red, go all out red. I gotta try to keep it CLEAN because it'll be Japanese special order to get this thing painted.

Thank you again!

Hi @JDMFZJ80 … welcome to MUD !!

Wow … your truck looks great in Japanese fire truck red with black accents !! It really stands out, but in a good way.

Have any immediate plans for modifications?

thank you! It's definitely.....loud haha. With the color and the size, it's the first thing you see if you look in a parking lot because it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Nothing major for immediate mods. I need to throw a new head unit in because it has a Carrozeria or something like that which is the Japanese version of Pioneer. I can't connect to it via bluetooth and it can't connect to our radio so I gotta get that out so I can get my music back and carplay. The other thing I want to do is get the remote/start alarm system thrown in. Living in GA and the fact that I can't park this thing in the garage, I need that AC started before I get in that hot truck haha plus need it to not get stolen. After that I MIGHT throw a rack on it but haven't decided.

Welcome Matt! So about a week or two ago I seen this red right hand drive FJ80 drive by me about a half mile from my house and was thinking to myself I wonder if that individual lives by me or is he coming the skating ring just a couple hundred yards down the street. Another thought I had if they were on Mud.
Now fast forward to this afternoon I was driving down that same street closer to home and seen the same cruiser but parked on the side of the road. I stopped behind the vehicle and asked if everything was ok. The individual replied them were trying to catch a dog that had gotten loose but with no luck. I then made a comment about his cruiser and told him I have a 40 series and asked if he was on IH8mud with him saying yes. I you haven’t figured it out by now that individual is Matt and come to find out we live in the same neighborhood. I just thought it was cool to have a cruiser head in my neighborhood.
