Alright, have too many irons in the fire and it is time to thin the herd. I have two of these projects so one needs to find a new home. Selling this project as parts, do not want to split up. I have a mostly complete 79-series pick-up truck Left-Hand Drive (LHD) project for sale, here in the...

Hi All, I'm pulling the plug on a mechanic that's been taking far too long (like 4 months) to do an engine rebuild process for me on my 2f. He disassembled everything 5 months ago and the engines been sitting at a machine shop ever since. I want to move the process to Boulder CO with me and...

This project will show the build of both 76 and 79 series. Brief Explanation: It has been a long journey and short at the same. It has been a dream to build not due to reliability because of its off-road capabilities. Toyota is dominant in our market so the car choice was between 76 series and...

A friend is offering a 77 FJ40 with a 350 swap, lift kit, and off road tires for $8,500 (TMU). Truck has been sitting for a few years (albeit protected in a covered shed), but we put a little gas in the tank and a hit of fuel in the carb and she started right up...gotta love a 350. Body is...

I've just purchased my very first 1994 FZJ 80 Toyota Land Cruiser and I'm super stoked to get started on this new project to turn this thing into a solid driver and overland rig. NOTE: I'm a rookie LC owner and learning its nuances as I go. I love the FZJ 80's stout looks and solid reputation...

I don't know how this happened but over the last year my wife and I have purchased 3 old Toyotas; an 84 van, a 4wd tercel, and most recently an old FJ55. I wasn't really planning any of them but Craigslist is a dangerous thing... About a month ago my neighbor Gary asked me if I was interesting...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I had a 1987 Toyota Pickup that first got me into vehicles. I had to sell it for a decent computer and am itching to grab another Toyota. Land Cruisers have been my dream vehicle for a while now. I am looking for an FJ60 (preferably an '87) anywhere in the US. Not...

I'm looking for a 60 series landcruiser that has a 2H Diesel engine. 5 speed manual. Don't care about km unless 500000+. Body has to be in a restorable shape and frame not rusted out. I live in Ontario so a cruiser close to me would be great. I also apologize if I'm not using forums correctly.

So after about a year of day dreaming I have finally decided to take a stab at my beloved 1987 Landcruiser I named Betty, as in Betty White for obvious reasons. The journey started like most; I found myself constantly searching through craigslist ads on an empty pocket. I had been drooling over...
