build

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...

Howdy cruiser heads! Here is a thorough walkaround RigCheck video of my 200 build. I go into all the detail of what I did to the truck.

Anyone had any work done at lch? I know there are plenty of threads about their leather seat covers and the reviews both positive and negative but it seems there are a fair amount of LC restoration work going on there. Has anyone here had any work done on a 100 series there? I plan on turning...

Not a concours restoration by any means but it cleaned up nicely, new lens from CityRacer completed the build. I figured if nothing else, some good reference photos for anyone that needs them. the bolts had snapped off when I removed it - a little heat from a MAP torch and they came right out

Hello everyone. I am brand new to owning and working on Toyota, particularly Land Cruisers. I had a 2014 Chevy Silverado that I did a lot of work on and loved, we had a storm come through and it blew the one tree I have in my yard down. As luck would have it, it landed on my truck and ended up...

Hi All, I've been over on the 80 Series Forum for the last 12 years, but was always wondering what ya'll were doing over here. Well, now finally get to find out! I just picked up this 1972 FJ40. I guess you could call it a storage-unit find. The PO tore into it well over a decade ago, built...

This is where I'll document the progression of my 2001 Lexus LX470. I picked this one up a few months ago in Alabama with roughly 145k miles on it with a clean title, no rust, and a decent maintenance history. First half of it's life was in SoCal, then a SE vehicle after that (TN, MS, AL). I...

Picked up a 2017 GX460 a few months ago. Started going to town on it this month. Not an overlander, just like to explore trails and have fun. Tires: 255/80/17 Falken Wildpeaks Wheels: FJ cruiser 17x7.5 ET15 no spacers Front Bumper: Victory 4x4 Strike Aluminum 70lb minus40 lbs of oem weight...
