Builds Project X² (2 Viewers)

[1775mudmac]

I said I wasn't going to do these builds anymore.... but temptation got the best of me today. All this stuff started popping up and I started thinking about a project that has ran through my mind since the first Project X. So this is what I have:

Super clean, no rust, great running, 1990 White FJ62 courtesy of a fellow MUD member.
1994 80 series with a 4.7 Toyota V8 conversion, that was started by a friend, but never finished. 4.7V8, 100 series tranny, 80 series tcase, complete uncut wiring harness, all accessories, etc.

So some people who know me already know what I'm thinking......
The FJ62 is with out a doubt my favorite Landcruiser. I have owned many, overbuilt most of them and always had my a$$ handed to me on the trail, and in highway comfort by the relatively stock 80 series. Not any more. Project X² will put the 62 body on the 80 series frame, with the 100 series engine. It should be on 35s max, have road/trail manners like an 80, run like a 100, but have the retro 60 series look that I like.

The 62 that I am starting with below is in route, but stay tuned for the build.
