Wow, not surprised this didn't get over the reserve price with a ridiculous BIN price of $27k. Can't help but feel like that paint (body and undercarriage) is there to hide something. Lots of overspray, you'll get rust coming through that paint within 1-2 years. Looks like someone went through...

FJ Company does good work, but this sort of restoration baffles me a bit. I understand restoring a non-US truck that has desirable differences from US-spec (FJ43 for space, BJ40 because diesel, etc), but restoring a non-US FJ40 seems like an odd choice. All you get is materially worse...

Not sure, maybe some Canadian mudders can chime in here, but a '78 with a bench seat, front heater but not rear heater (in original truck), HAS a dash pad, looks like maybe no roll cage pads . . .Could this be a Canada spec vehicle? Regardless, seems like not-US but not sure of origin. It's...

Not sure exactly what a BJ40 goes for relative to a US spec FJ40, I'm going to say maybe a 25% discount? If this is US spec with a 2F and all the other preferable mechanicals I think it sells for $18-20k. This gets you the look of an FJ but I'm going to say the BIN price is a few grand too...

Picked up 2017 and look who was parked behind the 200 at the car wash-

Also found this 'option'- Купить площадку под лебедку в штатный бампер Toyota Land Cruiser 200

Thanks, that helps. I've had lifts before that turned a squirrely-riding jeep into a more firm handling ride but it came with downside of teeth rattling jolts over potholes and speed bumps. Trying to avoid that fate here . . .

I've done searches but it's hard to pull together a clean list of commentary. Just wondering how the ride changes from stock at various settings, and whether you can truly dial in a stock-like ride. Also wondering if anyone has run an ICON lift but stayed with 285/65/18 tires? If I stay at...

Great photo, was literally just wondering what a blue 2017 would look like with the gray EVO's and boom. Would love to see any other photos you have of this rig, I am strongly considering pairing these wheels with a blue LC and haven't seen any other images of this combo anywhere.

Well duh. I guess I haven't really done my homework here. Need to add in a 5 bolt-to-6 hole adapter. Back to the drawing board.

Generally speaking, if they are selling it to you it is a profit making product for them and you are an (expected) net loser in absolute dollar terms. That is the reality of the situation. They have all the data and you have none. The most appropriate response to the original question is to...

Has anyone tried fitting the FN Fx Pro wheels (17x8) on their 200? Thinking of these wheels with 285/70/17 tires. The offset is 0, so given the +35mm stock offset plus larger diameter tires I am thinking no room in wheel well without a lift. I'm thinking of a small lift (1-2") but not sure if...

Thanks very much. Less than $500 all in, might be worth a flier. It looks like it would at least be a jumping off point for a custom bracket. On a related note, all of the responses here are a great example of why I love this forum . . .

Thanks, this is just what I was looking for

Picking up a 2017 LC in near future, would like to keep it very stock looking but w larger tires, possibly small lift, probably lockers, and would like to install a winch in as hidden a manner as I can (ie behind/through stock bumper. Has anyone seen or done this before? I feel like a little...
