build

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...

Just picked up this 2011 URJ200 due to my UZJ100 being totaled about a month ago: Looking to get started on mods and am looking for suggestions on suspension. The long term plan is ARB front and rear bumpers, so I'll need something that can handle the future weight load. would like adjustable...

I haven't used my rear storage in my FJ60 in moons and figured I'd pass it along to someone local who could make more use out of it. It's located in East Nashville. There's a bunch of photos of it in my build thread, from when it was new. It still all works but has a few miles on it now. This...

Hi folks - Ih8mud has been a super valuable resource for me, so I’m using a rainy day to make a small attempt to give back to the community with this build thread. I hope this ends up being helpful for someone down the line. Background: I was born into a Toyota LandCruiser family - my father...

In july of 2016 I brought home a 1985 FJ60. The truck had been parked in my friends dad's garage for around 14 years or so. Every time some one inquired about it he would rattle off things about the poor MPG and how slow it was. He loved it though. When he picked it up from the original owner...

My wife and I were living on Maui when we decided we were going to drive from California to Panama, so we were starting from scratch when our plane touched down in California. Luckily we had generous family that allowed us to occupy their spare rooms and garages. Step 1: Get way too excited...

I’ve been lurking and stealing knowledge for the last 6 years from this great forum. Long overdue build thread and hoping to use the motivation to keep the momentum with the build. I first got introduced to Landcruisers when a good friend @xtiaan2000 asked if I wanted to go skiing. At the time...
