Builds - BoltRipper's 2-year Overdue Build Thread
VIN: JT3HJ85J1V0188362
This a turn-key 2 owner, impeccably maintained 1997 (12/1997) 80 Series Land Cruiser Collectors Edition with professionally installed 2UZFE 4.7L V8 mated to the Toyota A343 4 speed transmission. Truck has 155,000 miles (48,000 on new motor and transmission) – This has been used as a daily driver since day 1 and has been perfect in every regard.
The truck is 6M1 Dark Emerald Pearl and is Factory Triple Locked. No expense has been spared with this build and Factory Toyota Parts have been utilized exclusively during the build and V8 conversion.
The V8 conversion was done at Slee Offroad in Golden, CO. The build was done with a new short block sourced by Onur from Japan. I also wanted all accessories to be sourced from Toyota and sourced the Starter, Alternator, AC Compressor, Power Steering, Coil Packs and ECU. The heads were completely dissembled, inspected and rebuilt with all new OEM parts. The injectors were cleaned, and flow matched as well. The complete build sheet will be available for review by potential buyers and just about every part is new OEM. You basically have a brand new 2UZFE Motor and Transmission.
The truck had new driveshafts for the conversion and have since been rebuilt again last month. The truck was also geared to 4.88 by Slee.
Thanks also to @Onur for all the help and direction with this build.
Along with the conversion the following will be a basic overview on some of the additions:
New Calipers and Rotors
New Fuel Pump and hoses
Center Differential Switch with 7-PIN Modification
All New Rod Ends and Steering Dampener
New EFI Relay
New Fusible Link
