Hi!

I'm based from Cambodia. I used to off-road pretty hard on my previous 3rd Gen 4runner but sold that good girl for an LX450. World of difference. The lx is way more reliable and more confortable for any kind of trail.

Here is her spec:

  • LX450, 1997, no lockers.
  • 4" Lift from Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro
  • Caster plate drop
  • 35s Tires
  • 17x9 Pro Comp Steelies.
  • Front Customs Bumper
  • Rear Customs Bumper
  • Maxtrax
  • Ironman Winch

Current Situation: She is having the Engine Rebuild!

Here is her before:

Welcome!

Man that looks exactly like an LX that was for sale here in Simpsonville, SC a few months back! Right down the the steering wheel cover and the plastic-over-OEM floor mats!
 
Doing some tires shopping:

Those are Crosswind 35/12.5/17R mount on a Pro Comp 17x9

Bring her to the wrap shop to protect the paint:

Very cool! last time I was in Cambodia (Phnom penh) I saw all kinds of 80 series, I was surprised and jealous as I did not have one then.

The Land Cruiser is the big love story within cambodia. 80 series is only popular with off-road community but the 100 or 200 Series is on road everywhere as a people daily driver! 200 series is now taking the Cambodian Street!
 
Nice looking 80. How do you like the Ironman suspension? Those springs have nearly 12 wraps. That's a lot for a single rate 4" spring. How long are the shocks when fully extended?

The Ironman is doing great! the Shock handle the big bump really well but less on the small road bump. Those shock are not that long! But they can flex pretty well.
 
Cool pictures, I haven't been to Cambodia but last month I was in Thailand and I only saw one 100 series but tons of Hilux all over.
