My first post in a 70s forum. 😁 I was visiting family in Ontario, Canada recently and spotted a dealer lot full of 70 series Landcruisers! I was intrigued. Turns out they are electric and used in the mines. Couldn’t find a thread about them and wondered if anyone was familiar? Toyota Land...

2nd to last episode of Jack Ryan features a blacked out 60. I think they try to pull a fast one and make us think there are 2. They use 2 plates but you never see them at the same time. All the rest of the vehicles are Land Rovers.

I was going to dye all of the plastics black, but they came up with this plan. I still may if this doesn’t hold up but I’m enjoying it for now.

Looked at a lot of land rovers and broncos to come up with an updated look. Even doing the cheaper version of those with vinyl wasn’t cheap.

I promised to post photos of my black carpet installed. I got the extra mats and extra carpet for the doors.

Thank you so much! If I had hair I would have pulled it out trying to find this thread. May you always have enough gas to make it to the next station.

I did a screen shot on MUD back in March and for the life of me I can’t find the thread it was from. Can anybody help? 😩

I'm having trouble finding a body shop in St. Louis to take care of some rust and give my 60 fresh paint. There's the Maaco end of the spectrum and the muscle car/super car places that charge an arm and a leg and also have little experience with 4x4s. I'm wondering if I'd be better off shipping...

My son was with some friends driving by Frozen Custard at McKnight and Manchester tonight and texted that he saw some FJ40s in the parking lot. I hopped in my 60 and headed up there. Unfortunately I got there at about 8:10 and nobody was around. Is there a Land Cruiser group/club or some other...

@FJ60Cam Now it makes sense why you didn’t paint the side of your building. Cam-ouflage!

I’ve done it before and it worked out fine. But not on anything that gets as heavily used as a steering wheel. Keep up the good work and keep posting updates!

Did you use a vinyl dye? How was it? Did you document? I have an issue with the many different shades of brown and tan and just want to simplify but not go all black. Would love to see more!

Black carpet looks great. I’m going to do that in my brown interior. Did you dye the steering wheel and armrests black?

I hope it’s ok that I pop over from the 60 series forum. 🙂 A buddy of mine has been in Nantucket all week and sending me pics of vintage SUV’s. He sent this image of a beautiful pig and I am intrigued by the roof rack. Does anyone know if it is original vintage or made to look retro?

I would paint your shopfront white. The awning black and the garage door with Toyota racing stripes. Unless of course you don’t want people to know what is going on in there. Then leave it as is for camouflage.
