build

After witnessing @Zjohnsonua build his 60 (Camo 2uz Swap), it kicked me into gear to do this swap... Going to try and keep it short and to the point.... This is my 2UZ swap... I've been on the 3fe bandwagon since 2004, I paid my dues to the 3fe gods for 17 years... :bang: Its time to do my 80...

Hi Guys, bit of a introduction of myself. My name is Hamish and I’m from New Zealand, and I work as a agricultural diesel mechanic at a New Holland dealership. I have recently bought myself a 1977 fj40 in need of some work. It seems to have rust in the usual places and has had some dodgy...

Hi Guys! I am looking for some advice on the following matter. I currently own a 1996 HZJ75 that has been transplanted with a 1FZF engine. Overall condition is regular. Missing rear seat, and needs bodywork. Also rear axles and brakes been converted to disc, not a nice job as far as im...

Write up of my lockdown project, putting a PTO driven winch underneath an LJ78. The winch goes into the rear, more or less underneath the rear seats and is front facing, meaning that I had to reverse the PTO output shaft as well as the winch gear itself. I'll post lots of photos for reference to...

Updated 9/24/2024 - Latest build on 37s Requisite glamour shots Long time in coming. A build thread for my ‘09 LX570. Hereby known as FLX. Yes, some mild flexing from an understated Lexus. And playing on the F-LX name and what an LX-F could be. A core goal with the build is to...

First I appreciate all the info on the this forum. I've spent hours on here looking up info and am amazed that every thing I could even think of asking seems to have been covered with detailed info and some great photos and tutorials. This past month I purchased a 99 LX470. This will be a...

Started another build. Picked this 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 up Oct 8, 2020. This is the progress page dating back to the day I picked it up. I'm pretty horrible with logging updates, but I'll give it my best. Enjoy. The day I picked it up. The previous owner took it to Black Dog...

No point in spoilers...I didn't sell it. You can come up with some pretty crazy ideas when you've been locked in a home for 16 months (I work remote). Here's how she sits today. I've got a few things left to do, but it's so very close after two solid months in the garage. So far, it's...

Hi fellow GX owners, I've been asked about my build so I figured I'd create a build post here. It's currently under construction with big plans coming. IG: GX460Allen Build List Tires - Nitto Terra Grappler G2, 285/70/17 Wheels - Advan RGD-2, 17x8.5, -10 offset, Umber Bronze Spidertrax...

Build thread to document all things I have done to my cruiser, I have bought the cruiser in Arizona in 2015 and shipped it to Russia where we went for the road trip to Magadan ( famous road of bones ) to visit grandma. That turned into amazing adventures for three months. Below is what I have...

I moved the thread to the hard core section: 1-Ton FJ43 Build - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1-ton-fj43-build.1253008/

I've been lurking the forum for a while and finally decided to post a thread of my own build. I had a 2005 GX 470 which I sold last month with an OME 3" lift. Great truck, could get through anything I threw at her, but it was getting up there in miles and once I finished paying it off it was...

Hi All, Have been lurking here for a while and figured I should post a build thread to add to all the valuable knowledge here. My experience should be used as an example of what not to do. It has been a very long process. I hope i get to drive it some day. the most recent screw up was that I...

I've enjoyed the benefits of this forum for the last 5 years. All of the build threads have been helpful through out the years and have always appreciated that someone took the time to document their builds. So I'd like to give back and do the same. I was fortunate to pick up an FJ60 Project...

BluezClues build. Name hit me as it was the favorite tv show of my cousin who passed away right before the end of 2019. Having been in a wheelchair all his life, he would have enjoyed riding in some larger wheels the same color as his favorite tv show character. I didn’t do a build thread on my...

Now officially joining the party, just exchanged a wheelbarrow of cash for a 2018 GX Premium. Definitely the fanciest, and most costly vehicle I have ever purchased, even if it was $25k less than a new one. But hey, this should be the last vehicle I need to buy for a long time. It can do...

Well I'm usually the guy who figures out he wants a certain classic 5 years after they become popular and decent examples become expensive and the rest are a ton of work. I decided I wanted a 60 bad enough to take on a pretty big project. I doubt it's the most rusty but it's definitely going to...

1978 FJ40 arrived in Cleveland just before New Years on a trailer from Michigan after frame off restoration by the PO - "running" but needing some mechanical work. Truck is now actually running 2 months later and taking me to work every day, all thanks to the generosity with time and advice...
