Nowdays a 1980s Cali smog vehicle is dam near impossible to install a motor & be legal.
I dont know what loophole or wording etc. how its done, but when it's my turn I'm going the Trail Tailor 5.3 route.

Not sure it needed a Cali plate to be legit!! Just saying!

I can only imagine the cool Land Cruisers we could have had without all that legislation. Diesels, V8's etc.

I have seen Dingo in person in the early stages, and it was AMAZING!! I hope to see it again someday finished. So cool.

Cruise control activated!

Keyless entry and remote start up next.

You forgot the "R" in Cruiser Control.
Super NICE build.

So cool J!

A little more done.

Stereo sounds awesome. Love this JBL setup! Heated seats wired, push button start operational, 80 Tcase center lock switch and relay wired. A-pillar tweeters in, microphone in, remote door lock and alarm in, seat belts in, carpet in, amp fully wired and wires run for the dual sealed box JBL 10" woofers going into the rear console.

Will machine a matching tcase shifter knob in a couple weeks. Will make many of these for future builds as well to match the Lokar mushroom knobs.

Front and rear console will connect with a bridge-over so I can still lay longer items and my blackies in cases on the floor.

Will go to the headliner/upholstery shop in a few weeks when its my turn and get a custom "Starlight" headliner and back panel upholstery.

Rear console assembled and ready for initial fit up in the cab.

Would have done it this afternoon but the Stude frame set up took precedence....

I can make it happen. I can't remember is yours a polished or anodized black 6spd knob.
