1997 Toyota Land Cruiser (Landy 2) Build Thread

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Hi everyone, starting this thread early/late depending on how you look at it. I bought a basket case 1995 FZJ80 last year that contains a much longer story than this thread is appropriate for. The short story goes that the 1995 has a rebuilt engine and the 1997 has a straight driveline, fully-working diffs/trans/transfer case, and a clean title (the 95 does not). The blown-engine 1997 was shipped from Minnesota and we swapped the 95 engine into the 97. This is the story of everything after that!
