build

After hunting for a long long time, and fund became good. I had a few options to pick from local here in socal. Quite amazing since I always figured I'd be flying somewhere to purchase it. I found a decent clean copy in OC. It's a 2001 LX in vapor blue with more silver then blue, the 2nd...

I have posted a lot of what's in here over the past 7 months in the popular "What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week" thread, but I thought it would be fun to put it all together with additional photos in one build thread with a little reasoning behind some of my choices. I had...

Hello, Let me start by introducing you to Hephaestus. This is my 1999 Lexus LX470. I've had this vehicle for about 8 years now. He has had a rough life. It did not run and was lacking major maintenance when I found it. It was 12k miles over the oil change sticker. It has hit everything but...

I realized I’m coming up on the 10th anniversary of buying my 1989 BJ74, and figured it was time for a first decade report card and after-the-fact build thread. In 2007 I’d been driving my ’85 BJ70 for 15 years. It had been the best vehicle I ever owned, but it was getting rustier and crustier...

I've been lurking long enough, I thought I would finally post up on a future project. I would like it to look like an Aussie truck when completed, I like the short front portion of bed with long behind the wheel wells look. Wish I could afford to just Import a dual cab Hilux. So here it is. I...

I originally wanted a 200 but decided on a Tundra for some reason. I figured it was a simple vehicle and I would have liked to have had a bed for my real estate gig. So I bought a Tundra Regular Cab. It was neat, we had some adventures, had 35s and a lift. But as it turns out, I don't like...

My first cruiser. I know the rule is to never buy the first one you see, but I failed following instructions. A lot of you are experts with a lot more experience than me. Any advice and comments no matter how brutal are appreciated. What the heck did I buy? For starters it's a 1967.

Long time reader, first time joiner. Thanks for allowing me to be part of this amazing community. Here is my 1962 FJ45 SWB ute, build no. 12062 that came from Central Queensland. The current owners of the property were told about the ute when the property was purchased. It was located in a...

1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Lifted w/ ARB Looks like a fantastic starter for someone looking to build an expedition vehicle on the cheap. ARB front bumper Roof Rack Slee suspension Need interior work Minimal details on craigslist which might be good for finding a deal.

First, let me say this will be long term. Second, I appreciate this forum and the community of LC owners who love wrenching and driving. So, in early 2017 I bought a 1998 LC, my first. I had been planning on a '94 80 series when I came across this one. 223K miles on it, and I was pleasantly...

Hey y'all, I bought my 2005 LC with 190k miles on it on April 25th. It has all the maintenance records and has a 2" Ironman lift installed by ACC Toyota in Atlanta. The day I bought her.

I'll use this thread to document my slow build. My plan is to build an overland rig that I can still drive daily. Nothing too crazy but I want it baselined and capable while still being comfortable enough to get to work. Some of you may have seen my thread when I first bought the FZJ. 155k...

Here is what she looked like when I purchased at the end of 2015. Getting there Sbc conversion fj40, had to much chrime for me and with a lot of help have come a long way. Trollhole top, lots of touch ups and small parts, OME lift, wheels and tires. FITech is going on right now, getting the...

What's up fellow Mudd members! I am starting a new build but also continuing the build of a fellow Mud member who I'm sure a lot on here might be familiar with the build and truck. I recently sold my built 4th gen 4runner to move into a 80 series LC. Short but sweet of it,, I got into the...

Hey guys, Here's my project from the last few weeks. Almost have it wrapped up at this point. *old arb is sold btw* Got all hyped up when my box 'o' bumper arrived. Couldn't wait to pull off my 13 yr. old ARB and start welding! I started out with I then realized I was not a fan of the angle...

so it's been years since Iv posted on here but I'm after photos or threads of 60s with 8b4 paint code for ideas on my next build (hj60) all the way from Australia thanks
