FJ60 on FJ80 frame/chassis (1 Viewer)

[Drilldeeper]

Hey guys,

it probably has been discussed before, sorry. I am looking into buying an FJ80 chassis and a FJ60 Cruiser. I was thinking to merge the two. Do you know who has done this already? Like 60 body on the 80 chassis.

Thanks!

Be sure to check out Waggoner5's 60/80/100 in the hardcore section. He's operating on a whole 'nother level though.

I've seen another one in person, but don't think there was a thread on it.

This is my personal dream truck. Some day...............................

Why is it I never have the time and money at the same time to work on my own projects?

I have a related question:
Why does Toyota no longer make a Land Cruiser (for the USA) that Land Cruiser enthusiasts actually want?
It's a mystery. A complete mystery.

Hijack over.

A coil-sprung (linked) 60 with beefy axles, lockers, armor, 35"-ish tires, V8, crawler low range, and a 40 gallon tank? For $19,999? I'd be in!

^^^^ YOU COULD (key words) actually build one minus the crawler low range, and beefy axles with that budget... It really depends on how much time n effort you want to put into it....

The frame swap is not that hard to do....
I wish I had a shop/garage like some on the MUD community do.......

F, If I were closer you could use my place for more projects.

I got a rust free 80 frame prepped for this swap. I cut off the front suspension though as I was going to use coil overs.


The frame is free, come and get it!!

Cheers

This would be my ultimate landcruiser but I’d have a 1hdfte turbo diesel in it how hard was it to get the rear body work to clear the chassis rails?

Because like everything sports stars, Hollywood A-holes and every other poser ruined this.
Land Cruiser
Range rover/ Land Rover
Mercedes G wagon (about the only one that still looks like the original)

They all want the fancy crap in them.
Land Rover even stated the LR3/4 was build for the US market as a luxury vehicle, hence why they put cup holder in them. The Discovery 1/11 were very utilitarian (the Discovery 1 even more so)

I would go for a coil sprung frame under a 60 series any day.

close but not the same
I had the pleasure of riding in a leaf sprung Land Rover Series III and then a coil sprung Series III, what a difference. Coil sprung is so much smoother, and just a better overall ride.

I am not a diesel guy. In a tow rig, you bet

Started off with this, Also cut a bit of rotted metal off the bottom of the "skirt"

I left a 5/16" gap for any body roll on the mounts
