Wrecked 2006 LX470 Budget Build (1 Viewer)

[LC100series]

Hey All,

My Name is Larry and I’m new to the forum world. I’ll be documenting my build and adventures on Instagram @landcruiser100series which I run. I currently own a 1999 Land Cruiser which has OME lift and 35” tires.

I purchased a 2006 LX470 from auction to start a new build on a budget. Stay tuned and follow along.

Find a non running, beat up to crap one and swap the front clip over. Cheapest and easiest way, good luck with the build, she's beautiful from the back.

Thank you 69 912

 

[robustbambi]

Love it! My moms first car was a 912, fortunate to still have it in the garage... of course it hasn’t been driven since like 1993. Figure I can turn that into my next project. Anyway, nice set of cars. You have good taste lol.

Thanks for sharing your build - I plan to follow with interest. By the way, are the 'Man Meets Garage' on youtube?

I saw only a couple of your earlier 100 series vids. Your 80 series axle swap and rear tire swing out ones piqued my interest but I guess you had other more interesting projects going on. Have fun with your build!

Very nice 06LX but the 912 is gorgeous my goodness! Is that a Cobra too next to it? Will be following this build and looking forward on the progress

Picked up a front clip, hood, and other various parts from Rancho Toyota Recycling in Ranch Cordova Ca

Followed off and on through instagram. Nice to see you on here!!

What are your thoughts on the Rancho guys? Prices comparable? Been thinking of running down to grab various parts and spares from them but never knew if they were a place that pulled themselves for you or you could wander around and pull like a Pick N Pull.

Thank you
Rancho guys are pretty awesome. Prices are better then most Dismantlers. Call and make sure they have what you need but they will remove for you.

I’ve ordered parts from Rancho and had them shipped to me in the past. Was all smooth sailing and the parts were quite a bit cheaper than most other junkyards.

Thanks, Good to know. Like I said, have always wanted to run down there and check it out but that is a couple hour drive for me from NV, without knowing if it a PnP style places or a wrecking yard where they confirm and pull parts for you.

Time to drill out the support and right apron.

I just noticed that this is the Limited Black Edition, indeed a nice catch! Did the front passenger side tire rods got bent? Are you restoring this back to an LX front or maybe going to a land cruiser front?
