So I've had A LOT of vehicles over the years. I think I lost count somewhere after 40. Most of them have been Toyota's with my most recent transition to a 2019 Tundra all those that know me ask ..."so how long will it be before you sell this one?" has become the new norm...In all fairness though I've kept my 80 Series the longest of any vehicle (9 years) outside our 2001 Toyota Sequoia almost 10 years.

I wanted to share with you some of my builds from the past 10 years. Eventually there will be a transition back into a 200 Series LC 2018-2019 in Blue if I can find the right one.

My main reason for sharing these is not to boast, but to show you what my rigs look like with the stuff I've put on them. I have other links on this site with my builds if you want to search more specifics on them. Every now and then I get people PM me asking me for more details which I'm happy to share my build process, what works for me, and didn't, and any other general off-roading recommendations or any other knowledge I can impart that will help you out in one way or another.

Enjoy!

Looks awesome. As a fellow owner of a 2001 and 2020 Tundra and 2013 LX570, I can appreciate your situation. I so want to add an 80 to my fleet and haven't been able to find the right one yet. FWIW - I did see a few 2018-2019 Blue LC for sale on auto-trader this morning. You will love the Tundra.
