[LS1FJ40]

Finally made time to pick up this 300lb sexy beast from powder coating! The last of its kind. @reevesci aka Jason aka Trail Tailor dual swingout rear bumper.

Can’t wait to put it on this weekend. In 30 degree temp...

You know when you hear about people finding unbelievable deals on rigs and you think “that NEVER happens to me”? Well, it happened to me. 1997, 193k.....$2500.




Oh yeah, and it’s locked.

Normally I'd make some wise-ass comment about how it doesn't count because it's black but at $2500 I just cant bring myself to do it.

Nice cruiser and congrats. You lucky bastard.

Wear your sunblock!

 

[2KCruiser]

Wear your sunblock!

Yeah, it's a cold beer sipping 74deg here today

Yeah, there’s trade offs. On the one hand it’s ball freezing cold. On the other hand I don’t have to worry about having enough water or worrying about fires or crime or earthquakes or traffic...

There is no more iconic off road vehicle than a 40. I love my 80s but a 40 is just a different animal.

If you can’t understand this statement then I really have to question you for owning any model Landcruiser at all. @Dragos80

Dude, your rear bumper weighs 300lbs.??? Does that include spare tire and full jerry cans?

That was including packaging and pallet. I haven’t weighed it by itself. But it’s a bumper with dual swingouts. One of which is a ladder with triple jerry can holder. It’s stout!

Or affordable housing

 

[Dragos80]

Exactly.

I just don't see it.
What's the attraction with that old design? Bad suspension? No water/wind insulation, noisy, no lockers, no engine, uncomfortable, no room for anything inside?
Looks like an old Jeep. Nothing special there.
Why not a new Wrangler for same stupid money? And you get everything with it too.

Ball freezing cold? You said it was 30 degrees didn't you? That's like Tshirt and hoodie weather. In your podunk units of measurement it was below zero this morning here. Around -20c.

 

[baldilocks]

Exactly.

Surely, you are either jesting or trolling.

Just mod it like any LC
My old 40
FI V8
4sp Auto
PS
AC
Lockers
56" springs
tons of caster
leather
insulated and carpeted

Whats not to like and everyone likes it

Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled. To each his own, I guess.

 

[Dragos80]

Just looking at the heinous suspension setup makes me turn my head. Not a fan.

Oh, and I don't have to be a Toyota fanboy and like everything they built. I can pick and choose what I like and what I don't. Because, you know... I'm an individual not a citizen of North Korea. I don't like everything Mercedes, or everything Porsche, or whatever. I like certain things and I dislike others. A 40 falls in the "others" category.


PS
I also happen to absolutely hate Lexus GS350
Huge POS. Got one in the garage. So my opinion is not based on youtube research.

Mine is built like that and I have to agree...It is off the truck right now and I have serious stink bug going on.

Yeah, I never did like those Previa’s.

Is this a joke?
