    Jalmood's Build Thread: 1999 GCC Spec LC100

    Hello again, around end of June, 2024 I bought my 1999 GCC Spec (GX-R) LC 100 and had my first intro thread on IH8MUD. Since work has started on the car I thought of sharing a build thread to keep things somewhat documented and share the build's story. I've been looking for an LC100 since last...

    Timujin's GX DG0

    Found "Girl" in NorCal during a spring break family roadtrip to visit the Winchester Mansion. Autotrader and I had become one over the course of several months. I wanted a GX470 in the spec I found, but would settle for a decent GX460 :moon: We drove up to Fair Oaks to check her out. The former...

    Grayson's HDJ81 Build Thread

    After many months of looking for a clean rig I found what was very nearly my dream 80 series on cars and bids; a 10/1996 A/T HDJ81 with white exterior, grey cloth interior, with the 1HD FT. I told my wife it was meant to be since the auction closed on my birthday and she agreed. After I won...

    A 42k mile 5-speed Saudi spec VX-R.

    Introducing my new (no name yet) 1996 LHD imported 80 series. The odometer shows 69k original kilometers on the 1FZ. It's got the 5-speed and it runs and drives great. Don't have any plans yet other than finding someone to insure it. It's super fun to drive (but I feel bad with every KM that...

    69 Spring Green - Build Thread

    Hey y'all. As Land Cruisers do, they tend to multiply. I've had and been working on a 99 LX470 for several years, and through that, got to know my local Land Cruiser group. And, of course, eventually one of those guys had a project truck that came up for sale at a price I could stand at a time...

    ksaun build log

    Haven't posted any progress on here for a while! A lot has happened since Summer '21, when I bought my 40 and started this journey. After taking a month to drive the loud, floaty, smoking thing, I got started and tore the thing apart. At the beginning I really only wanted to address the obvious...

    Builds - 2023 GX460 Overland build aka "MALCRLR" - Phase 1

    Hi Everyone! Thought I'd share my build with the group. I bought my 2023 GX460 Lux from Santa Monica Lexus in July 2023. It looked to have been a special order that was never picked up, as it was a Lux with the towing and off-road package but the rear bench seat. The Monroney sticker has both...

    RHD JDM mall crawler

    Alright I decided it’s probably worth documenting my build here. I have documented it a lot through instagram that can be hard to follow. It’s a 1996 Land Cruiser that is a RHD diesel with a Toyota 1HD-FT I6 engine. Bought it in April 2022 bone stock and even better it’s a JDM import little...

    Builds  "OEM Plus" 4th gen build

    Hey all. Apologies for my earlier mishap posting an empty thread, it's been a rough morning. 😆 Here's what was supposed to be here originally; Although I've always liked big hoop bumpers and big tires, that level of build just hasn't been necessary for this car yet. I never intended it to be...

    Builds  "Choyota" 2002 LX470 Thread

    *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...

    80 Series Active Vacation Fitout

    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...

    My 05 LX470 build thread

    Purpose and overview, to keep a log of my journey with this new to me 05 Lexus LX470. I picked it up sight unseen from another forum member with around 235k miles. Initial impressions: Wow cool truck. Roomy and beefy. Just what I expected. Engine roared like a straight piped F350 when I...

    Builds  Good Times - 1992 HZJ73

    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...

    Builds  “Marsha” The Swiss Army Knife Build

    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...

    Builds  Roaming Lost: x3 Locked 1990 Toyota HDJ81

    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...
