If you go used 200, the FJ Cruiser can be more expensive depending on the years.You've got money to burn if considering the purchase of a 200 series land cruiser for an off road toy to modify. I'd suggest a Jeep Rubicon or FJ Cruiser.

I wish but thats definitely not my build. A local guy's I see around town. Its a beast.@Madtiger i understand 4runner wheelers have expensive bumpers and such, what you’re not understanding is price difference, that’s where I’m coming from but I also understand the saying “you have to pay to play” when modifying a LC. I’ve seen the video you posted, anything crazier than that you have to get bumpers, and add bigger tires for clearance. Thanks @99Cruiser, @krice118 no doubt in a LC’d reliability, i won’t trailer it a lot but most of the time I would so I have an excuse to tow the tundra and put miles on it. @koifish thats a badass build and I would but, if I ever got to that point of your build I would need to get a diesel to trailer my tundra around, the tundra is great but heavy and a LC can only tow so much “safely”. That’s why the tundra will be the tow rig, it’s still fun to go fast in the desert with it and wide open trails.
No way it’s gonna just sit @rusty87 , if I buy a landcruiser I’m gonna wheel it and buy mods it needs based on the off-roading I do and learn from it. Eventually go wheeling my son in the tundra and me in the landcruiser. I give my share to our local community .
the tundra will be towing it to some trails when I don’t want to drive it there.
One thing I'd never do is trailer a 200... just no point in doing that. They are too good on long trips to be sitting on a trailer... given the choice, I'd probably trailer the Tundra LOL.
I do think an 80 would fit your needs better.
The true advantage of a 200 is in use as a modern vehicle, and towing. Way more power, on-road comfort/refinement, and a more modern feel. The price of this is lots of $$, size, and as everyone pointed out.. weight.
Throwing bedliner on a 80 and not worrying about pin striping it is much easier than a 200. I have some new stuff on my 2013 from a big bend trip and will be busting out the buffer soon to polish it up.
