A few years back, we decided that we needed a bit more room, so traded out the wife's 08 Xterra (2" lift, 6 m/t, longtubes, and lots of custom metal work) for a 2011 GX460. Took a while, but we found one with all the options we really wanted, plus the wife liked the wheels.

Ok ... I own 2 Land Cruisers, been a member here for over 5 years, and barely have enough time to maintain my Cruisers let alone do a build thread. Figured now is as good a time as any to change that. Plus, I don't have any experience at all with these trucks, and I'll be needing some advice. I...

Using a 69 Fj40 tub in my build. Recently making repairs I had a bolt(press in stud) fall out of the tubs channel that's behind the seats, where the floor steps up. Never seen it before, any thoughts on where/what it goes too?

Last year, Toyota unleashed the latest Tundra - a legend in its own right, had undergone a remarkable transformation. Embracing eco-friendly tech, the Tundra carved a path towards sustainability thanks to its twin-turbo hybrid engine; setting a new standard for responsible off-road driving...

I've always wondered about building out a 40. I've done a few 60 series. 1988 FJ62 was my first cruiser and I was done. Convinced it was all I would ever drive and I've always loved the sound of a V8 so I couldn't leave well enough alone. Lived in Australia for 3.5 years so I got to see all the...

Last Friday I took the day off to travel up North and meet my wife for a NYE party. She had gone up the night prior with our daughter, which left me and the doggo with idle hands and no supervision. I took the opportunity to jingle the chain of nearly everyone selling a 60 or 80 series or some...

Up to this point I have been cluttering up other folks' threads with my questions, so I thought I'd consolidate all my stuff here. So - I am doing some major changes to my 1987 FJ60. Actually the plate on the B pillar says Oct 1986, but the vehicle title says it's a 1987. I am in the process...

A few months ago I bought a 1994 KZJ70 with the 3.0L engine. It had been 'restored' 6 years or so ago but after purchase there were a few (quite a lot) things that needed addressing. I'm full time self employed as an Artist Blacksmith so have a good collection of metalworking tools and...

Hi everyone. Its Mian, I am a new member so don't know much where to post this answer. This is with reference to years old query(March 23 2016) of member "My71FJ40" regarding converting a standard Toyota FJ 45 to one with dual rear wheels(DRW). Just saw it in the forum now, maybe it's an...

I am at a the junction of deciding whether to keep my 470 forever or upgrading to a 200/570. Back story: Bought my LX from a MUD member at 220k and The 470 just hit 260k as my daily commuter with very few issues. Like most of you I love the truck but it is worn, yet almost completely rust...

First, I apologize for starting a new thread on this build, but it's been a couple years since I last posted. I just completed everything but paint and finish upholstery and thought I would start a new clean thread of the complete build to this point. Sadly, I will be selling this build and...

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...
