build

Picked up a first gen in July to replace a built out LJ I sold earlier in the year. This serves as an auxiliary daily and now will take over trail / camping duties from my 5th gen 4Runnner which is my primary vehicle. That said I've been driving this a lot lately. Goal is the "OEM +" theme with...

For anyone interested in viewing a locker button build using decals on 3D printed buttons please see below: I produce many decal kits for 40 series and decided to install the F/R + Air compressor kits in 2 different styles. You can see the progress and final results....just waiting to be...

Starting this thread to document 12 month (and counting) build on my 2008 200, including the many and varied dramas along the way😄

My website will always be updated first, but I figured I would go ahead and create a thread with the current progress on my 1969 build. A post with a runrate of how much this little money pit is costing me is here 1969 FJ40 build "Dr Banner" -...

A few of you may remember this thread Price Check, Metal Building - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/price-check-metal-building.1250548/ I started a few years back. Due to delays, redesigns, and issues with the first metal building company, we are just now breaking ground on the workshop...

Alright! I am finally part of the Land Cruiser community! Never realized how special these vehicles are to people until I hopped on this forum, and of course, when I finally drove it myself. I'm in love. This thread is part for all of you, but mostly for me to keep a story board of what I have...

Alright, I am finally part of the Land Cruiser community! This thread is part for all of you, but mostly for me to keep a story board of what I have done with this. :) I bought my first land cruiser, a 1984 BJ60 from a gentleman out in Manitoba. He was the second owner and purchased it in...

Five years without a Land Cruiser was long enough. The Mrs and I picked up a 1994 tonight and the build will be well on its way within the next few weeks. The intent with this one is to be a fun family adventure truck. I'm thinking Labs bumpers and sliders, a smaller Ironman lift, 35's, and once...

My 3 year old told me he wanted us to "drive on bigger rocks" and I've never been more proud. So we got to work looking for a candidate and it didn't take long to find a fine specimen on Facebook marketplace. We loaded up for Nashville and brought home our new 97 LX450. He has now affectionally...

Hi all, I did a bit of searching but couldn't find much. I have a new-to-me, Ed Martin built 2021, and I've got the ARB compressor hooked up to a set of rear bags and a quick release chuck under the hood. Recently, despite the switch being in the "off" position, the compressor kicks on for...

Hi all, I've been posting a bit around the forum for the last few weeks, and now that I've purchased a GX 470, I am going to make my own build thread. Thank you ahead of time to everyone's help. Please give your input/advice on things I'm doing/should do! All criticism is welcome. I am by no...

*This is somewhat for personal record-keeping and a little bit of sharing. I'll go back and refine some of the stuff I listed with actual model numbers and some pics here and there. Picked up an Black 2002 LX470 in May 2023 w/ 235k on the odo, bone stock (aside from a AHC-delete), from a single...

Hey guys, currently searching for an 80 series, but felt this community was the best to chronicle my current 2006 Sequoia build. I purchased a 2006 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4x4 with ~193,000 on the clock for 12k on FB market place in November, 2020. I definitely overpaid a little, but I was...

Sold my Red GX a few short years back, had withdrawals since then. Looked for 2 months or so another one, had a few deals not make it for different reasons, even lost out to BenzilDawg"s GX on this forum by like less than a day as the current deal I was on was not looking as good as it sounded...

Thanks to all who have helped so far. I'm hoping to get this done by the end of the year using holiday sales and black friday specials to my advantage. Background: 2006 GX with nearly 300K miles. Owned since new. Meticulously maintained, but cosmetically a little rough because the last 25K...

With the death of my 500k GX i had planned to move to a larger platform, namely a 2G sequoia or LX570…… Plans changed and a great deal came my way. 2008 GX non Kdss 230k miles Victory 4x4 front bumper, rear bumper and rack Clean frame Plans: Snokel 80% off-road weld on sliders Perry parts...

Looking for some opinions on building up my current 2013 200 series vs. purchasing a 2015 200 series that looks to already have everything (and more). Overview: I'm in Utah with four kids and one wife. We ski / snowboard a ton. We go camping and mountain biking. Once or twice a year we go to...

Some of you know me in person already, but around here I've been mostly lurking for years, and I figured that now's the time to change that! As I move on to my second 100 series, I'd like to get things a bit better documented for both my own sake and others this time around. I'm very excited to...

For example: specifying the larger center screen in the 1958 trim, or the cloth seats in the Land Cruiser trim.

Hi togehter. Since i'm already spamming the what-did-you-do-with-your-80-thread with pictures i came to the conclusion that i should start a build thread. About me: I'm currently 25, service engineer for agricultual machinery/automated milking and feeding, living in the countryside near...
