Build Tilda Bogue 70 Series Builds

[wngrog]

I'm fairly new to the 70 series world. That said, they are pretty much like a blend of the 40 and 60 series of which i have a lot of experience.

This list should grow a lot since Im now bringing these in from Saudi.

But first, my first 70....

 

[wngrog]

My best friend @Kaderabek bought this one from
Jeori. Europe import. 1HZ Diesel. H55.

We added a locker, lift, 34s and bumpers.

Now follow along here......

He traded this thing even for an FJ40 that I built and sold to @shellb.....

@shellb figured out quick this thing is not made for living at 6000' and sold it to @desmocruiser

And by chance I have @desmocruiser 's 40 here for an engine replacement

Follow?

This guy showed up today. Normally a Cruiser getting dropped off at the shop is pretty normal around here but today was on day after me buying a 200 series and my wife thought I had completely lost my mind.

Luckily the new owner, @Kaderabek is family and it was quickly confirmed that I had not just bought a second Land Cruiser in 24 hours.

Saudi 75.

This is the first 70 series and second Saudi import

The buyer here is local and I was able to build it with no expense spared

Its now with @DrRock and he has taken it to the next level

This one is fresh off the container. The second Saudi cruiser I’ve imported.

1992, first of the 1FZ trucks.

Real.

The next build was a short 70 I imported for myself.

I had a blast building and wheeling this thing.

My thoughts on this versus a 40 is that the only thing a 40 is better at is looks. Everything else the 70 is lightyears better

I finally got myself some shop time and feel like it’s time to officially introduce ShortE

If you are following along in my current 75 build you have already seen pictures of this one. They rode across the pond the long way.

The first page of this thread will let you know the odyssey this thing took to get here.

Saudi 75 Too - Tilda Bogue Service Station

A year ago I was hitting my stride on rebuilding Rosie the 40 for my friend Brendan The engine had barely stopped ticking from his first test drive a few weeks later when our next project together was hatched….

The container mate for my shorty was a nice 75 for my buddy Brendan who I had built a near perfect 40 for.

Again this was another full court press build. We copied a lot from the first 75 then took it up a notch or two...

The second shorty I imported was a very low km, very nice truck. I brought it in and it was supposedly sold to a guy Ive done business with in the past. He flaked so i decided to just start building it and someone would come along.

They did. Its been back once for additonal love and now its home and happy.

I have finally gotten off my ass and started in on my latest FZJ70.

I bought this one in a few months ago and have been too busy to mess with it.

@Meshal found this gem up in the dry mountains. Ex .gov truck. 115,000 km or 70,000 miles.
