Toyota Land Cruiser

That LC is sick! Home many miles on it?

 

that's no fun. although i'm still cleaning up from this

 

Have you guys seen the technology on the new Land Cruisers?

Check this out, totally blew my mind.

@ColoradoTJ you may need to up your game and get some spotting cameras on the TJ haha....

 

Haha. That's the first time I saw 360° camera coverage. Wild. Just like how backup cams blew up, I wonder if almost all vehicles will have that setup in 10 years or so.

 

Sold my 1978 FJ40 about 4 years ago, really regret it. Bought a new Rubicon last year, then bought my wife a pristine 2013 Land Cruiser which she loves.

Just ordered my new 1794 CrewMax, so feel I'm set for a while.

The best forum for Land Cruiser enthusiasts and many others that wheel is IH8MUD, check it out.

 

How ridiculous are these?

Those guys do great restos. How 'bout a 100 series SAS setup?



I know some guys with incredibly built 62s, 80s, 100s, 200s with a small sprinkling of Lexus versions.

 

Pretty wild. I love the concept.

 

ICON (and I'm sure others) has lift kits for the latest gen LC's




Total Choas as well as other companies make stuff for them too


If I ever win the lottery, I will buy and build me an LC! In the meantime, I'll make do with my 4runner and Tundra

 

80 Grand for an LC may not be a bargain, but if i had it, it would be the first purchase i would make. I am not a world traveller, nor have i seen everything, but i have seen LC's in action. From desert work, to sloppy farm conditions as well as a mountain pass i thought my deuce and a half was not going to make it through, and the LC is nothing short of amazing. I won't knock a RR/LR, but the dependability of a Toyota can't be challenged, all of us here realise the brand and what its strengths are.

I bought my Tundra for many reasons, one of the reasons was for the 5.7 litre, the same as in LC.

 

My buddy in Albuquerque, New Mexico built this FJ40 with a new cummins R2.8. It is pretty sick.

I’m a land cruiser fan. Had an 80 series for a while. Wish I still had it.

 

That's the one I'm dreaming about building. A 100

 

I really miss my 80 series. It said Lexus everywhere but it was 100% tough... Old Man Emu lift and after finding out the hard way, extended brake lines. 35s on stock wheels, only rubbed when flexed hard. I put that thing through some pretty risky obstacles! Just an absolute beast. Damn....now I need a toy!

 

We have an old 1974 FJ40 FST, was basically a barn find. 27,000 original miles according the the dude I got it from (it was his grandfathers hunting rig) but there was no proof of it. Original paint and I have the original soft top doors. Took it to a local mechanic and he said he was 100% certain that the miles are original. Unfortunately we have to sell it because our new old home doesn't have a garage and the city won't let us add one.
Got a guy saving his pennies and it looks like she'll go to her new home in February. We may try to get a 100 series next for family traveling.

 

great FJ build , the irony of your buddy building the LC and as it turns out my buddy is playing banjo in the song by "The Steeldrivers " Great Nashville band , some guy named Chris Stapleton was their fist lead singer ... Ha (nice guy as well) .
