This is my 1970 Toyota Landcruiser. Its seen many stages of life in the 8 years I've owned it and I have finally lost interest in this last buildup. My friend from Georgia is buying it from me.

This is one of many trucks I have built over the years. I had a welding business so the work is pretty easy. This pic was taken before the Dana 60 front axle was swapped in and before the 32 bolt bead lock wheels went on. No time to enjoy off roading any more. I'd rather be on a bike. My quad has'nt even been touched in about 9 months.

shaweet. I'd like to do a SOA on my draginwagon and do a shackle flip in the rear.
I still have to rebuild the transfer case on that pig before I haul the bikes and quad up to the U.P. on labor day weekend.......
I hear on the sitting quad syndrom, I had mine on the front lawn with an Outrageous price on it because I didn't want it to go but I have to make time to use it. I'm headed out sunday more than likely with my Bro, nephews, and my 'ol lady (B).

400EX with +2' A-arms 11:1 piston and a bunch of other stuff. Not for sale though :) Doesnt take up enough room to get rid of it. Gonna use the $ from the Toyota to start a 67' - 69' Camaro project for my wife. Ive got a 97' LT-1 motor and trans sitting in my shop waiting for a hood to sleep under. Now I have to find the right car thats missing motor and trans and is in need of work.

DAMN Bro! You need to come out here and make a stop in Moab, UT. Red rock country. That'd get your interest back up. The jeep rally's around here are INSANE! That thing is killer! Probably whoop some ass on GNT's RC! j/k
My hispanic students would go ape shit over that thing!
:D :D :D

Nice rig! Awesome articulation.

I know what you mean about not enough time. I had a CJ7 I built, but lost interest in spending the time and money on it once I got the 954. It seemed like every time I used the Jeep I had to spend $100 for repairs or upgrades. Too much money. It was a ton of fun though. It looks like you know how to build 'em.

Ever see a FJ55? A friend of mine just bought one with a 350 Chevy in it and now he needs ideas for upgrades.

55's are pretty sweet. Don't see to many of them in New England due to the rust. I've got plenty of ideas :idea:

His 55 is out in Idaho so the rust isn't too bad. it is a pretty cool looking truck. i hear you can make a cubby in the rear quarter panels for storage - should be able to even fit a jerry can in there I guess. That would be a cool mod. Sort of like the Titan bedside storage. For now he is just going to use it as a daily driver/tow rig for his boat. I may try to get my hands on it in a year or two to make it an off roader. We'll see...
