New original fuel tank. have almost all original parts including uncut harness lights etc, missing hood and running boards. new f60 power steering conversion kit, new aluminum radiato, suspension is reverse shackle with f60 rear springs, wheel well opening stretched to allow for axle moved back, added rear fuel tank filler. professional bedliner underbody, firewall and inside tube, roll cage, scat seats, wheel widen but retained stock look and hub caps, tires neww but old. There is a bunch of stuff included but too much to list. LS motor and new HD 700 r4 available. Best to contact me to discuss Details. $9000.

@BigWalker I will never be guilty of building SEMA quality. I prefer 100% mechanical (at least I hope I am getting close to that) over a shiny polished rig. There are some amazing and talented people out there but sadly the “pretty gene” passed this old fart. Pictures of the SEMA rig if you please (even if it may not be Land Cruiser related).

Haha the rig was not a shiny show truck, i was one of the first non beta rigs to install the cummins r2.8 turbo diesel, engine #3. Cummins extended the Sema invitation. While we were installing the diesel we revamped the complete drive train as well in fact the only part i kept from the original rig was the body and chassis. BTW the Cummins r2.8 diesel is perfect for a FJ40 also the fab9 diffs and coil over suspension, while a real pain to setup, worked extremely well. Heres a few pictures
