build

I’m going to be posting to this thread with my progression of my truck. This truck is my first car that I bought when I was 15.It is a 1979 (sike, turns out it’s a 77) BJ40 diesel. I bought it from a guy in Costa Rica who restored a ton of stuff back to factory spec. I got a killer deal on it...

Hello ih8mud I bought a used 05 Sequoia almost 2 years ago now, and after having worked it for so long, I've decided to make a build log on it. This is my first vehicle that I have ever personally worked on, and my first time experiencing offroad type builds. If anything, this is an Adventure...

Stumbled across another 200. For the price/mileage and mods it's seems to be a decent price. Bare in mind Carfax shows its life being lived in CT and NY, so I can't speak for corrosion underneath. No affiliation to seller. Was this a Mainline Overland build? If so one could probably track its...

This thread is a bit of catchup - started tearing things down in November, and been chipping away all winter. Making good progress, and will try to get the thread caught up to current day as time permits. My parents bought this 1976 FJ40 new in late '75, and have had it ever since. It was a...

Its a '93 model. 5 Speed and a factory part time case. Its apparently a GX model which i know nothing about except it has a working sunroof, the stupid climate control AC and a fancy factory sound system Ripped out the junk 1HD-T and put the FTE in, 1 million times better. Also fitted a 1300nm...

Hey folks! I just picked up a 2010 GX460 Base in Knight's Armor with 108k miles. This is my first truck and my secondary vehicle after my 2018 Porsche Cayman GTS. As you can tell, I live in the NYC area and am looking forward to exploring the Upstate NY, NNJ, and PA in my new off-roader.

It's too rainy on the west coast to wheel so I thought I'd make a fool of myself for your Sunday entertainment. Enjoy!

I recently started restoring my dads old 1988 Hj75 ute to its former glory. The body is extremely rusty, and currently doesn’t have a roof on it, but the engine is in surprisingly good condition, (nothing can kill an old 2H engine). Yesterday and today i got to work stripping the interior and...

Hello all, I'm a new member to MUD, but I’ve had a few Toyota’s in the last few years. My passion started when I test drove a base model 1986 Toyota pickup. Single cab, short bed, 5 speed. 4x4. 22r. I then moved on to a 3rd gen 4runner. I currently own a 1985 Toyota pickup Xtra cab 4x4 and a...

Haters of Mud, Wanted to introduce y'all to "Kiboko," our 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser in Magnetic Gray Metallic on Black. "Kiboko" is Swahili for hippopotamus, and I thought that was a pretty dead on name for this ~6000lb gray tool/toy which will spend a good part of its life wallowing in water...

Just now starting to build out my GX since purchasing about a year ago. The goal is to go for more of an OEM + look and functionality as this will be 90% road/10% off road rig. It took me about 3 months to find exactly what I was looking for: 05' Non Nav - Darker Interior - 125k Stopped for...

A little history... I’ve owned a couple FJ40s, an LX470, grew up riding in my folks’ FJ62, and now... I have an 80-series. I’m mechanically so-so, and lazier than most people, and don’t know how to weld. I have good friends, and I’m good at looking stuff up on the internet (especially here)...

NOLA; a build story Hello Mudders! I have now owned my second cruiser for three years so I decided to finally put together a build thread. I'm writing one in part because this community is so freaking knowledgeable and has helped me fix so many things on my own truck that I would like to see...

Hello! I'm Charlie. I have been snooping around on here for a while but thought it would make sense to get a build thread up, just to keep track of progress! I bought a Silver 1998 VZJ95, a Japanese import, with 115,000km in Vancouver in June and have been having loads of fun with it. It's my...

After a bit of a break, I'm back working on my FJ40. My first build thread was here: First Thread. I have a bunch planned and I decided that I should post my progress here and get some help before making some bad decisions on the second phase. First, I'll update where I'm at. After spending...

So last saturday (12/12/20) I bought my first truck, I flew from Ohio to Alabama bought it and drove it back. Im 15 and cant even drive until March when I get my licsense, so I know almost nothing about cars. I plan on using it as a day to day car to drive and in the future I plan on using it...

Huge thanks to our family, wheeling family including Dave's Off Road Supply, WFO Concepts, Off Road Design, East Coast Gear Supply, and Bill Griiffith - Verb Precision Machine for helping to make this dream project happen. This is pretty surreal. In ways it seems like just yesterday, other ways...

Been wanting a small overland trailer for a while. I want something that I can leave in the garage loaded and ready to go (moving to CO in June and will have the opportunity to spend a whole lot more ducking the office and running to the mountains). I want to mount my RTT on it, have a decent...

Hey folks, I rolled over 200,000 earlier this year. I’m wanting to dig into some deeper type PM stuff as the ODO continues to creep up. I’ve addressed most of the usual suspects: - Rebuilt front axle - Replaced valve cover rubber - PHH - new suspension bushings (only item I didnt do myself) -...

This one doesn't have a name yet either :LOL: The blue truck has been great, but it has 80k on it with multiple cross country trips, so it's time someone else enjoys it. So it's now owned by one of our sales guys (Corey if you have seen him in any of our videos) and he's stoked. So the new...
