Well, here she is in all her glory!
I picked it up a few weeks ago from a member here on IH8MUD and am very happy with it's condition.
Thought I would start a build thread to record the progress.
Lots of things on the list to do before she is trail worthy, but that's part of the fun.
Specs:
1985 Toyota Landcruiser BJ70 JDM RHD
3B Diesel Non Turbo
H55 - 5 speed manual transmission
This model has a full floating rear axle, push button 4x4 (with manual locking hubs of course) and a factory PTO winch. PTO winch works great.
Plans are to build a nice little trail/camping/exploring rig for me and my son.
It's completely stock and the stock springs are in pretty bad shape.
Next week I'll have time to get the OME Ultimate kit installed that I got from Cruiser Outfitters installed.
The wheels are also too rusted out for my liking, so I picked up 5 new OEM FJ40 steels wheels
from Cruiser Corps and a set of 33x10.5R15 BFG KM3's.
