2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Build Update

[Eduardo Castilla]

I posted back in December on the build project of the new 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser, here are some quick pictures of how it is coming along.

This coming week we will be doing electrical and by the following week finishing it up by installing the Overland Adventure X hard shell roof top tent just in time to do our first Overland trip with it to Canyonlands, Utah.

What roof rack did you go with?

Nice build! Is the fridge on a drop-down slide?

Thank you!! No the fridge is not a drop-down slide, it only slides out.

Thank you!! Maybe after the factory steps get banged up, may go with some ARB or Slee Step Sliders.

Nice work. Looks like its ready to go. Did you make the drawer system?

 

[SubeeBen]

Clean looking rig need some mud on it ha ha & oh yea did you build the rear system yourself ? Looks nice either way good job good luck with the build.

Very nice! This is what we truly wanted to build, but it just isn't in the budget at the moment, very jealous! My vote would go to Slee for sliders, loved them on our 80.

This was exactly my thought when I bought the 4Runner two years ago. Used 200s with 50k miles were going for $20k more than a new 4Runner Trail Premium.

Next time, though...

That is a truck that will be with you a long time. Looks great! When are you heading to Canyonlands?

 

[CampWithChin]

Nice truck. LC200 is my next truck. or maybe LC300 by then.

This is the most amazing build I have seen in a LONG time - I LOVE Land Cruisers!!! I haven't been on this forum much lately, but watching this thread!

I toy around almost every week with trading in my 2013 LR4 for a 2018 LC.

Nice work. Looks like its ready to go. Did you make the drawer system?

Yes, we can make them custom to your needs, we have done them for a few Land Cruisers and FJs up to now. This drawer system only requires for one of the 3rd row fold up seat to be removed and the drawers on the passenger side can be pulled out so that the passenger side 3rd row seat can be folded down for used.

4Runners are also awesome. You can work on making a 4Runner even better, they offer lots of after market parts. Just get out and enjoy it and build it out as you can.
