I did a search but was surprised that I didn’t find this posted previously. Apologies if I just missed it. I know @brices123 posted it long ago in the Copper State Cruisers forum..

 
I remember when they did this, twas pretty impressive.
 
2000hp in a 3to car - for shure a nice ride!

I just was able to see 221 km/h (137.32 miles) on GPS wih my Diesel V8 Land Cruiser 200.

It was before all modifications on the German Highway, on the way to a first test off the pavement.

More Pictures after modding you find here at ih8mud. Guess it did help, that the AHC lowers the vehicle on higher speeds.
 
I remember something about this being posted here in the past, but nothing wrong with seeing it again
 
I want to know what the motivation was to use a Cruiser. The feat in and of itself is impressive - but why a TLC?

I thought I had read that Toyota sponsored it and wanted to have the title of fastest SUV and maybe this motor made the most sense to start with to reach that goal.
 
It makes sense to use their flagship vehicle for something like this.
 
custom frame, custom body mounts, dry sump oiling system, that thing is bonkers!
 
I’d love to know exactly what was done to the internals of the motor and how that compares to what the guys in the Middle East are doing.
