Congratulations on your new landcruiser.What colour is it,its hard to tell from the pic.It looks like a dark grey chocolate maroon colour
By the way,they stopped making HJ75 in 1989,you have a HZJ75 because it has a 1HZ engine

@RoscoFJ73, i stand corrected. This HZJ is green.
@crushers, plans? Yes.
I have bougth 2 used doors, new headligths, ordered 5 ProComp 17x9, contemplating on 265 (not sure what brand yet) got my self some OME bushings, waiting for a set of ARB wheel arch extenders (have no idea about how they look), decided on a non mechanical radio from Clarion, need a new window frame and i have decided on the color.
I have read a dozen threads on turbo conversions, but i am not sure what to aim for, i do like the idea of 200hp on the crank....
@1978HJ45, here's a crapy cellphone pic with some 285/70/17, the car is leveled with a jack.

A few words about "why".
I live in downtown Oslo, it's not a big city, 610000 of us spread out on about 427 square km. As earlier mentiond, i have a 2010 LC 150, i use it as a commuter and every thing else. A 150 is not very usefull for "everything else", you can't bring a kingsize bed or a fridge.
The most anoying part of owning a $100000US car is that nobody else cares, and i do not meen "hey,look at me", i meen "please do not scratch or make dings in my car while parking yours.
In a couple of months, i will be the one making the scratches and dings.
And hopefully making you look like a snail in each traffic ligth crossing...
