That thing is wrecked all over the place.

Taste is a funny thing.
It’s one thing to go with an idea like that all the way to the end, and then keep it and drive it forever. It another thing to make that drastic of a change on something then sell it halfway through and expect to get 12G. Changes like that put a permanent negative to the resale, not the other way around.

Agreed.
Grand ideas:
Reality sets in:
Always tough to follow through on a big project, but yeah where does the next owner go from here?

This total piece of crap your referring to is mine, and I'm really curious to ask all the professionals out there, in forum land what is it that makes this cruiser so wrecked all over? I've spent the last year and 20 plus k in building this piece of crap, the right way. Maybe if you bunch of greedy bench racers wouldn't price out people in being able to fix their rigs, maybe I would have restored the completely cut up dash back to stock. But seems how everyone thinks their parts are made from gold I'm not really into spending $2500 on keeping the stock dash. So I did what I could using ingenuity and resourcefulness. So other than the dash which if you wanted the stock dash buy a stock dash and bolt it in. What is so wrecked on this rig? The completely stripped down tub that was cleaned up then lined and sound deadening, custom carpet made for it? Oh man that's horrible. Oh wait you must be referring the the lift, yah that's it, oh wait instead of taking the cheap unsafe way I played a money grubbing sponsor of this forum $1800 doller for a proper lift, of which consisted of not much and it was completely wrong and they wouldn't back up their product. But that's ok I contacted the manufacturer and they fixed the issues. So it couldn't be the lift, that was done right
. Maybe it was the fact that I wanted this as my daily driver so i took the heavy tractor motor out with its clunky transmission and installed a LS chevy engine and auto overdrive trannies, i know shock and awe, no ones ever done that before. Must be the non stock wheels and tires. Or the fact that the only people that make replacement body panels are moody and tell you they will sale you parts then don't. So I made the patch panels myself . Sorry guys I guess I totally screwed this one up. I think I will just tow it to a junk yard. So when it comes time for you to sale your rigs your gonna want crazy prices and will bitch about why no one will pay 60k for my tractor powered landcruiser. On that note have a wonderful day
. Oh that's right maybe it's because it has all new wiring?

It must suck to be such a miserable human being.(onemanarmy) SOME DAY I WILL GROW UP TO BE AS COOL AS YOU. Have a great day. And I decided to finish it seems how my intentions were to build it for my family to cruise in
Exited to hear you’ve decided to finish the project, as one comment asked...is the dash just a fiberglass bolt on or?
Yes it is, a factory dash could be put back in. But I dont have a problem with the dash, I'm not trying to restore the pig, I'm making it so it works for me
Perfect!Yes it is, a factory dash could be put back in. But I dont have a problem with the dash, I'm not trying to restore the pig, I'm making it so it works for me
Then I have just the sticker for you...let me go find it...
Enjoy your pig with your family!

I know it may seem this way, and, things certainly have changed with Landcruisers. It used to be they could be found easily and prices were very reasonable. There are companies like FJCO making a business out of just what you are doing. Their clients are very wealthy. It has become very costly for the average person to jump in and actually make back money invested.

tell us how you really feel
I'm making it so it works for me
Isn’t that what really matters to anyone who has the ambition to think for themselves.
There’s no deference between someone who wants to ask $200k for there vision or someone who wants to create their vision that’s outside someone else's box.
Peace
Thanks guys that's a perfect t sticker,, wait till my 34 chevy sedan with alfa romeo running gear hits the road, I will really need that sticker, I think that's how I really feel. As far as everything becoming expensive, your always gonna have greedy people, but I try and do my part by helping my friends as much as possible whether that's with knowledge, parts, or support and to me that's what this is about. It is a hobby not my livelihood. As I get older I find my brain/ filter just doesn't have time for idiots. On that note I hope you all stay healthy and have a good weekend
