Land Cruiser Owners Registry

[Scotty lock]

This is my lc3...120 series landcruiser....only had it since January but got big plans for it...not sure if it may get replaced in a few years but great for now..only really had bf Goodrich A/T 2 tyres so far but bumpers...drawer system in back and a overland trailer plus more to come later

This is my 2007 Land Cruiser 120 :) it is a VX spec model (original Netherlands registration).
Upgrades that the previous owner did include the Pushbar with Hella Rallye 3000 lights, dark rear windows and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T-A KO tires. Will do some mods myself but first got to save up some cash again.

My mod topic is linked in my signature :)

Ok new to forums and a new member without a number yet. Not sure I am allowed to post pictures yet. Anyway, I am a new owner of an HJ61. Loving it so far. Getting some bumpers made for it, also looking into roof tent ideas and beyond.
Edit. Ok obviously I learned how to post a pic, haha

 

[Dana]

Thanks man. I can't remember who makes the wheels by they are 16". Tires are 285/75r16. 4" OME suspension.

They look like Method wheels to me but not an expert. More like novice.

Here's my 2004 LX470-UZJ100. I can't really call it a build thread, unless you count adding 3 car seats and some Slee StepSliders, but here it is https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ive-got-my-pink-panties-on-again-reintro-and-build-thread.597348/.

I'm hoping to get some real progress made in the near future. For now just enjoying the awesomeness that is the Hundy!

5 years and two continents between these 2 pictures.

I'm just getting started. I went to an off-road training day and learned a lot about what NOT to buy. I do have a list, but what I've done so far:
- removed third row seats
- installed Front Runner drawers

Plans, not necessarily in order:
- new tires, possibly wheels as well
- compressor under the hood
- ARB Summit bar
- snorkel
- 2nd battery w/full CTEK charger set
- lights
- awning

Nice vehicle. You need to bring that gold dredge out west. I hear the spillway that broke out here this winter let loose and eroded a lot of gold.

So I just joined the ranks of Land Cruiser ownership, after having sold my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I pick up a 1991 FJ80 with 215k on it. Seems to have been well cared for. I still have a few things to address on it...some mechanical, some cosmetic, but that gives me something to do with it until I can start building it out for some adventure travel.

Congrats, great looking 80!

The cruiser that I would not mind having is an 80 imported from Japan by Land Cruisers Direct
http://www.landcruisersdirect.com/
They are near St. Louis, Missouri. The owner, Steve Jackson, picked out a REALLY nice 80, automatic, diesel, etc., and up fitted it to suit his family's off roading needs and he is now selling it. He is asking $65,000, but it is extensively "off road ready, NOW", from the ground up.

If you have never searched his inventory, it is worth a look- see, as vehicles from Japan are in amazing condition with low miles. But most of Land Cruiser's Direct inventory is right hand drive, which you weigh against the fabulous condition of these vehicles to see if that works for you.

My basket case.

1975 FJ40: currently not running and the body has been separated from the chassis for some major repair. This is a long term project. Someday I would love to have it in the shape of my old 67 FJ that I had in college. And then sell it off while I look for an FJ45 PU...

There's an FJ45 shorty in St Helena... but he won't sell arghhh

Congrats, great looking 80!

Thanks! I've already been digging through your site looking for some things I'll need, so I'll be sending an order or two soon!

 

[Overmodified]

A little out of the norm for overlanding but we have over 2k trail miles on her..

1969/2012 FJ40
110" wheelbase
Stretched 18" and narrowed 9"
Custom frame
5.3 Vortech V8
4l60E/4 speed Atlas transfer case
Dana 60s F&R with ARBs
On board air, shower, Engle fridge, inverter
Other stuff..

It actually drives really nice on the roads. We once had a wedding to go to in Tahoe so we drove the Cruiser thru the Rubicon on our way there, then drove home on I-80.We got a lot of looks pulling into the resort fully loaded and straight off the trail!
