*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 everyone!
I have some good news.
Now that the lx600 is becoming slightly available we have opened up our build side of the shop to take on some lx600 full builds. For now due to our limited capacity we are focusing on full package builds. We have about 5 in the queue currently with...
Hey guys,
not sure if this is the right forum, but I got my hands on an 80 series active vacation edition.
I'm going a different path, so I don't need the Setup. No idea how much to ask for, but I hope you guys got more experience and knowledge or even being interested.
I'm from Brisbane...
It's been a while for me to get things going on my 1992 JDM HZJ73. I picked it up in October of 2022 and drove it 800km home.
A few things about it.
It's a ZX model that came in white, color 045 with trim FC10, but is painted blue with "Good Times" graphics/decals. It has 232,000km, a...
When the end of the line for the 200 series was announced, we immediately called our dealer and got an allocation for a 2021 Heritage Edition in Blizzard Pearl with the intention that it would be my wife’s daily for a few years, then I’d build it up for adventure. We took delivery in April ‘21...
I'm really hyped on this one; I picked up a 1990 HDJ81—triple locked, 1HDT diesel motor.
The first drive home was 8 hrs, and did it with no issues. It's pretty wild that a 33-year-old truck runs like a dream!
The first thing I had done was a PDI intercooler and trans cooler.
Also added...
I'm thinking about having Slee do a build on my '21 HE. I'm sure there are folks here who have gone through that process, but my searching came up empty.
Did you have Slee build out your 200? Would love to hear about your experience!
What started out as a donor vehicle purchase for my 97 LX has now turned into a resurrection project. I originally picked Swamp Thing out of the woods where it sat for 4 years as it was one of the infamous "ran when parked" vehicles. At the time, I was looking for some donor parts, rocker...
I introduced myself a little earlier in the week, but I was able to pick up our "new" Land Cruiser yesterday evening. It is a 1995 with sunroof and leather, not sure what trim that makes it. Has 179K miles, which was about as low as I could find without resorting to highway robbery. Paid $10K...
I received this FJ62 in a barter with another MUD member quite a few years ago. He had pulled the engine and rebuilt it. Long story...but that engine ended up going into my wife's FJ62, "Urkel", which has it's own thread.
Needless to say, the truck was pretty nasty inside. We cleaned what...
I just had to share a long time project my son and I have be working on that is hopefully nearing completion in the coming weeks…
Btw… I hope this is the correct place to post this 😬
So we started off with two Chinese Kandi GKM model 150cc buggies we picked up shortly after the 2018 Campfire...
I ordered the “Tauler Jack” kit from Brennan’s Garage. It’s a kit that converts a 8000lb trailer jack to work like a hilift, but better. But if welding, and it’s ready to rock. Worth looking into…
Finally found the ac condenser in stock in AUS through Cruiser Brothers in California. The original part no. for the 77's was unavailable anywhere (Japan, UAE, AUS). I ordered this recommended replacement. The drier was wrong. Also, the flared fitting on the tube connecting the condenser to the...
Hello Mud Friends!
It has come time to do some rust mitigation and as things typically go, they are now snowballing and I need some advice.
We have owned our family 1983 FJ60 in 861 blue for over 7 years now. She came with some rust in the rear quarters that has progressed over the years. She...

Hello all,
Here is my modest build done over a few years. Started with a 07 truck with 85k miles on it, completely stock out of a soccer mom's garage.
I started with replacing worn leather for RRW upholstery kit. Then changed out the stereo and speakers to a Garmin nav receiver by Kenwood...
Hello all! Let me introduce you to my recently named pig Evenstar. Back in the 80s my parent's bought her from a miner in Northern California and she's lived out the rest of her days in Southern California. Growing up, the Land Cruiser was our family daily driver/camping/road trip car that...
August 17, 2021, the day it all began. This is one of the first photos I took of the vehicle, which had approximately 170k miles from 2 previous owners. The offroad upgrades had already begun by this point, including: (1) RRW stealt bumper; (2) XO-Fab DIY welded sliders; (3) Falken Wildpeak AT3...
