A bit of progress on the cruiser today. Hutchinson 17" beadlock wheels with KO2 all terrain tires. Old Man Emu 2.5" BR-51 suspension.

That's right @pseebald I'm changing the exterior color! I'm not much of a fan of that blue. And that is my company's work shop. We have a nation wide distribution of tires and here were we fix the semis and we also use it for our personal vehicles. We have several land cruisers that we use in...

I also started working on mine this past week. I'm starting with a full upholstery upgrade and color change! I haven't bought anything as far as hardware for it since I have a LC76 in progress at the same time. [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] It becomes kind of heavy to do both.

That's right, I'm located in Venezuela. I got the GRJ76. Comes with the 1GR-FE engine on it. Too bad that's the only engine option we get down here, even though we have to order from Japan and wait for 4 month, I couldn't get them to put another engine on it!! Would've love the diesel turbo V8...

Finally I have received my rig! Straight from Japan [emoji627] [emoji123]. Build will start soon!! I'll keep posting pics as it comes together. Sorry for the crappy pictures, they were sent by the customs agent as they released it.

I've been thinking also about solar, I know that Redarc in Australia make awesome products for battery management but I haven't been able to find anything quite like it I'm the US, and the worst part, we can't buy the Aussie option since it work with 240V. Does anyone knows if there is something...

I'm still researching it, you can go on cruiserparts.net and look for it. Is not a kit and apparently is not easy to find, so you have to buy it separately.

I'm planning on starting with paint and the dual tank. A friend has it and he gets 800 km out of both tanks

Awesome thread. Very useful since I bought one like it 3 days ago and plan to build it.

In my country, a land cruiser like that in good shape sells between $25.000 to 35.000. [emoji88][emoji88]

Good to know. I had no idea... [emoji15][emoji15]

Loooool [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Too Funny

I own and have owned several land cruisers, one of them is a 1983 Fj40, it is a 30 yrs old car, had to restore everything except the engine and drive train!!!!! Only God knows how many miles are on it, yet I checked the compression, and did not open the engine. While it is a low RPM and slow...

Lol!!! It depends on how blind you are at night! [emoji15]

Does that one comes with the in line V6 EFI engine? I'm asking because here in Venezuela they came with that engine until Toyota stopped selling them. If it does, down here they are very desirable because that engine is extremely reliable, runs cool enough so that it isn't damaged when fully...

That's right, they have the adhesive for sale on the store, the badges are made out of metal so you won't loose it. As far as how to remove it, I always use goo gone, that should do the job.

Got my badge! Representing in South America [emoji869]

So glad @NorthStar96 shared this. Just order mine.

Where to next?

Mine was ob3566. I guess we'll know soon!
