Well, I've owned my Land Cruiser a little over a year now and with new summer plans I have for it I thought it would be a good idea for me to make a thread where I can keep track of everything I've done.
First a little background. I fell in love with the Land Cruiser from an early age with camping and exploring with my dad in his 79 FJ40 he has owned since new. Around 6th grade I realized I wanted a cruiser that I could call my own so I started mowing yards around my neighborhood.
My Dads 40
Who would have thought that so many people were interested in a middle schooler mowing their yard but now over the years I have developed over 30 repeat customers and have purchased 2 zero turn mower along with a bunch of other stuff. But that's a different story and besides the point. The only important thing about it is it has given me the funds not only to buy a Cruiser but a few upgrades as well.
So a few years after starting the whole mowing thing and one year before I turned 16 I found the perfect Cruiser. It was a black 1996 Cruiser, rust free with 191k, a new head gasket, all mantaince records since new, and it was completely stock.
Here is how it looked when I got it
