I have owned this beautiful cruiser for only a few months, but a pending cross country move is making us downsize. Truly a unique and wonderful vehicle we have lovingly been calling Louise (Lulu). Below is a list of the restoration work done by a professional Cruiser shop I bought it from, and right now she is being maintained by a Toyota Master Land Cruiser Specialist here in San Antonio (they did the brake work after purchasing and are available for consultation). I have put less than 1000 miles on the new V8 engine since purchasing it.
Full restoration performed including: body work to remove dents and imperfections; completely sealed and primer painted with a finish color of velvet green; two stage paint base coat and clear coat; undercarriage power washed and sandblasted; rust prevention with Rust Bullet comparable to Por-15; 3M rubberized top coat; new Old Man Emu 2 1/4 soft-ride leaf springs with grease-able shackles, Old Man Emu shocks and steering stabilizer, Old Man Emu inner and outer brake lines, new calipers, rotors, drums, shoes and pads, and a complete front rebuild on Birfield knuckles. She has a new dual exhaust system, a custom front bumper with 8000 pound Warn winch, and 2 bumper mounted Rigid Industries LED spotlights; custom rear bumper with spare tire carrier and receiver hitch, fully rebuilt rear brakes, custom Rock sliders, stealth roof rack with four forward facing LED spotlights and two rear-facing LED backup lights, new carpet and padding, reupholstered seats with marine-grade vinyl, lockable center console, custom powder-coated rear cargo panels, Genisi LED headlights, custom stereo system with Bluetooth and backup camera, Chevy 5.3 Vortec V8 engine, and a Chevy 4 l60e automatic transmission.
