project

Half-heartedly searching for a 70 series tub for a project. I have a 79 Series cab ready to go, but then I got a dog, and now I need a bigger cab (like a 70 series) to fit fido, or to build a kennel behind the 79 cab. Do you got something interensting that is salvagable? Maybe even a 74...

Wanted to post a small project (that took way too long) that was completely inspired (possibly stolen out of love) by The FJ Company. I just love what they do, how they do it and the vision that have set (and bar) for the classic 4x4 industry. Clearly they have a very expensive final product and...

I’ve come a long way since the last time I tore into a rear end. Let’s see how the progress is going with that ARB thing.

Hey all, Picked up a 1988 mini truck, mini dump truck that is. Goal is to make it reliable and use as intended. It was hard for me to find a short wheelbase model and this was the only one I've seen locally. It is a dually, with the fronts being the same rims as the rear (I've seen a lot...

Hi people, just finished an upgrade project. I had an old 8" Samsung tablet and came up with the idea of making my own "infotainment" centre. I designed and 3D printed a casing and a mount for the tablet which fits into the centre air vent / clock insert on the dash. The mount fits into the...

After searching for a few years, both the right model (late 80, diesel turbo, foreign sourced, sub-tanked, straight body w/ little to no rust was sourced out of GCC origin) and the needed resources came together at the right time. I had given up hope many times and considered purchasing a...

4plusproducts makes some of the dopest kit for landcruisers. Dave is contemplating retirement, so if there’s anything you want, get after it. These sliders were sold out, but my man Georg at Valley Hybrids keeps some 4plusproducts gear at his shop. Support these small shops, keep them afloat.

All right, so I have an idea for a project. I'm not going to go into details but what I'd like to get my hands on is a broken or damaged awning. Really all I need is the portion that attaches to the vehicle. All the other bars and everything can be completely busted. I would like something...

Whats up! I'm new to the group, serial DIYer, last project was a Land Rover Disco II, this is my first Land Cruiser. So far I love the truck but this is going to be a huge project. Any advise?

The High Lakes were hit hard by the Dixie Fire a while ago, but they still have some spots where you need 4wd… and it’s natural beauty is still there. Perfect place for a shake down in my FJ40 and a freshly built Bronco.

Hello All New to forum, first post. Might have made a purchase with ♥️ instead of 🧠. 69 FJ 55. I think I’m in love but soooo much work to do. Would love input from you experts out there. She runs, won’t hold a charge, needs brakes worked on. Many pictures to come over the coming wk. Robyn

Hi all, I just inherited my dads 77 fj40. I remember riding in it when I was a little kid in 1992. That was the last time it was drove. Now I have this awesome project and so excited I found this forum to learn the ins and outs. Cheers.

Perfect addition to my new shop project. My wife even said "I've never seen one" better grab it" So neat, I have 5 cruisers, have been on the forum for years and I had no idea this existed! So cool!

Thank you to my internet friend @michaelb for showing me several forums here on IH8MUD. He suggested I stop here and create a new build thread for this project. It is rougher than I had believed but doesn’t scare me…it’s just a lot more time, work and money to bring it back. I’ve always...

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…

Hello, I have a 1990 FJ62 that was originally in California, and then Washington state. I've owned it since 1998, 2nd owner. The car traveled to Europe with me when I moved there in the early 2000s. I am currently working on bringing it back to life after a minor accident and several years...

290K original miles. 4-speed manual transmission. 4WD with manual locking hubs. Purchased in 1990 from the original owner. Daily driver for well over 20 years in California and then Colorado. No accidents. Engine ran low on oil and developed a rod knock when under load. However, engine did not...

I found it in a barn in 2009. F motor with 3 on the floor. The restoration took a back seat to life events (Wedding/Kids/Work). Trailered it for 3 different house moves. Almost Sold it... twice. Which brings us to the current day. My scope for this project will be to make it an everyday local...

Cancelled project looking for a new owner. Significant investments made in customizing and building a very capable and well-loved overlander. 2001 Land cruiser needs a direction to go. Bring it home and turn wrenches on your own, generate your own wish list and let us finish the build, or a...
