build

Hi guys, just picked up an absolutely immaculate 1992 HZJ77. It's been owned by and older guy for the last 18 years or so. Only 230,000kms, and 5spd. An absolute gem. Here are a couple of photos

I was asked by a buddy in our Land Cruiser group to build a custom bumper for his 100 series. If anyone is interested, I have been “loosely” documenting the progress. I downloaded a 3D model of 100 series to use as reference and for communicating a design to the owner. I then designed the...

Sup Mud. Figure it's time to start a build thread to keep track of my bull****. My first 80, Shannon, was a 97 Desert Dune Collectors Edition that I picked up in Dec. 2018 with 320K miles, 4.88 gears and ARB lockers. Picked her up and the next day drove up to @OGBeno house in upstate NY and down...

Here we go again. The River critter (bought with that name) is under the knife. Staring on the back and moving forward. 3 days deep right now. have the rear end built rear frame restored. fixed a f holes in the cab .

2018 Lx570 Owned since new (had been previously titled, I purchased it with 88 total miles). This has been a very carefully thought out build. Trying to maximize the fun factor, while maintaining all the creature comforts of a true daily driver (I didn’t do a drawer system for this reason)...

Ladies and Gentlemen, After 6 years of watching my wife drive out 2014 GX, I have taken it over as my primary vehicle. When we bought it I knew this day would come where I could build something I wanted. Huge thank you to everyone that has contributed to this site. I’ve spent the last few...

Hi all, I am the new owner for this 91 RHD JDM. I got her with only 80k miles. She already had new exhaust, fresh maint on birfs, 4" OME lift. Driving her home from the purchase, the master window switch broke, leading me to my initiation of the 24v world and sourcing unicorn parts from AUS and...

Feeler listing here for my GX before I list more widely. I purchased from Roam Overland Outfitters largely built in September ‘21. The original Roam listing with detailed photos is here: ROAM BUILT 2008 GX470 (SOLD) - https://roamoverlandoutfitters.com/products/2008-roam-built-gx470-sold A...

Picked up this 1989 FJ62 kind of by accident. A guy was selling a truck on Facebook marketplace and this gem was in the background. It looks like the original motor was removed around 180,000 miles and the PO had a LT1 from a corvette ready to install. The body and frame has zero rust and all...

Bought my 2000 MY 100 series in summer 2021 from family member. Bone stock with good service records. 280k on the odo. Brake system had recently been replaced (xmas tree lights and no brakes). Started tinkering with it immediately. Flares removed:

With a heavy heart I am selling my '98 1st gen. I wanted to show off the build before its gone. Never thought I'd get rid of it, but I bought a diesel Hilux.

On October 2, 2018 I sold my last, most recent Cruiser...an 87 FJ60 named Chunk to Patrick of Bowfin Cruisers. At that time and for a long time after, the market for Land Cruisers went through the roof. I'm a Freelance Graphic Designer in a smallish town and my wife is a Social Worker (Childhood...

I am a noobie and definitely not much of a mechanic, but I have finally decided to take on this project. My father-in-law passed away in 1994 and I always admired his Land Cruiser, it was without a doubt one of his favorite vehicles. Because I was such a fan (and after some lobbying on my part)...

My wife refused to buy a 200 or the new LX due to all the BS electrical and Apple crap. While most see this as a NON Land Cruiser profile it is exactly what everyone has asked for : affordable, offroad capable and smaller (not by much per their specs) No sunroof was a huge plus on the 1958...

Going to start off by saying I’m terrible at build threads and usually end up not completing or updating them. Just so everyone is aware.. Short recap on my 60. I found it about 30 minutes north of my house. The engine was torn apart, and had been sitting for 20 years without the head on. Most...

Hello, MUD! Embarrassingly, I've been harvesting GX pre-purchase info from this forum starting in late 2020 without making a single contribution. I hope to make up for that by sharing some of what I've learned and that it may be found helpful by others. I found my GX (2010 Base) on March 11...

New to the Toyota LC/LX scene. I’ve been lurking on here for awhile and finally decided to start documenting my build. Picked up this 2003 LX470 a couple months ago. CA car it’s whole life so no rust issues. Had a few things I noticed right off the bat. Did the intake and valve cover...

Just pulled this beauty out of Eureka, CA, and should be loaded onto a truck this weekend and headed to NY. This is an original California FJ45 LWB (original plate still attached) that had a "frame off restoration" in 2011 (clearly never a show truck but the metal is really good and very clean...

Doing a build if fj60 body on fzj80 shortened frame. Need to see what wheel size is best. Is there anyone in the DFW metroplex running 35” or 37” tires on an 80 series who can lend me their spare for a test fit? Need it less than a day. I would like to check before I buy my wheel package.

1999 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5 HIGHLANDER (SC'd, Lifted, Dual Cased, Dual Locked, Geared, Armored, 5Spd (R452d) and more...) —-$25K—- This is and was my daily driver for the past 20+ years. Purchased in Colorado Springs in 2001 with approx 20K miles on...
