Hi guys my name is Ed. I'm a lifetime New Mexican and Land Cruiser nut. I'm a union IATSE carpenter for the movie industry here in the state. When I'm working I have no free time but in between shows I'm game to play.
Currently I own several Cruisers.
As of today my heard consists of;
-2000 lx470 Currently stock. It's a lifetime NM/CO truck with no rust. The previous owner was an old couple who cruised i25 with it. It's got 300k but the interior is perfect and has been properly maintained. I picked up a custom front bumper and a 2" ironman lift kit for it with plans to delete the AHC but my old lady likes the ride as is. My plan was to sell it once I got a fj62 but she gave me a pass to keep it because she considers it a lexus
not a LC.
-1987 fj60 that had a complete fj62 conversion done to it. Engine, axles, drivetrain, and interior is all fj62. Now its a fj62 with manual windows and locks. I picked it up out of Las Cruces early this year. It was a father son/build and they did a hell of a good job. It's turnkey and rides great. It has one surface rust spot from the rear window drain and peeling clearcoat on the hood and roof.
-1990 Fj62 I picked this up from San Cristobol a month or so ago. It's in great condition. It has one dent and a fully cooked/cracked dash and one rust bubble spot on the rear hatch. I didn't need it but the price was right and it was in great condition. It also came with a complete 1983 fj60 (white) that had been in a fender bender then parked for 6+ years. I'm gonna sit on the 83 for now. Its rebuildable and might become a long term project.
I'm currently working on the baseline for the 1990. My brother in law wants it. After the baseline is done I'm gonna pass it on to him or keep it and sell the 87 to my brother in law. I like the build process and I've got the space to store it so I might just keep it. Decisions Decisions Decisions
I'd like to join HD Cruisers. I found the website and it suggested I ask here on mud what to do. The site had not been updated since 2018.
Cheers
Ed
