build

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...

Hello everyone, My name is RJ Panlilio and this is my 1996 Lexus LX450 My plans are to build it up to a TRD Offroad/TRD Pro spec'd 80's Series with some modern updates. Ultimate Recreational Vehicle Purchase Date: 2/26/21 1996 Lexus LX450 Exterior: Dark Emerald Pearl (6M1)/Dark Gray Metallic...

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...

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...
