- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- Today we're doing an OVERLAND WALK AROUND of a classic 1984 TOYOTA FJ60. This 4x4 OVERLAND RIG is a mint condition FJ60 ENGINE SWAP LAND CRUISER. It's sporting a 400HP V8 Engine that makes this OFFROAD OVERLANDING RIG a great topic of conversation.
In this OVERLAND RIG WALKAROUND we will take a close look at the details, including how Anthony (the RIG owner) accomplished the 400HP V8 ENGINE SWAP. And, we will discover what's so special about this CLASSIC TOYOTA FJ60 LAND CRUISER.
Whether you are new to OVERLANDING or a seasoned OVERLANDER, this WALKAROUND is sure to ignite 4WD and OFF ROAD ideas that you can apply to your OVERLAND RIG. #overland #walkaround #ToyotaFJ60

![TOP 10 Things to CHECK BEFORE you GO OFF ROAD [Basic Overland Checklist]](/img/n.gif)
This dude needs more credit for having installed the lockers and regeared on his own. Incredibly impressive. What a beautiful rig.
What are the difficulties in re-gearing yourself?
It’s not that bad, just have to set backlash and gear mesh. I learned before UA-cam was available but now with UA-cam and all the tech articles it seems there’s a video or article for every application. It’s amazing to me that there are people out there that take the time to create guides to do things yourself. If you’re interested in trying it, I’d also suggest looking on ih8mud. There are a lot of tech articles there too.
@@colbyd7814 lol. Your comment made me laugh out loud. I guess I should have prefaced with the fact that I’m a newbie to basic car maintenance and have no idea how to do any repairs. The thought of regearing sounds absolutely impossible to me.
@@youpers thanks Anthony. I’m willing to take a look.
I like the modern twist on a old cruiser.
This is a well built resto mod
Also, love the fact you are reviewing one of the member's rigs. The forums and community that ya'll have built is great.
Thank you so much! The community is #1 !
Most definitely appreciate seeing TLC's featured. I cannot tell you how many times I get told, "Dude, that is a RAD old jeep ur wheelin'." Ugh... There is the TOYOTA badge on all four sides. 😎
Extremely sweet FJ!
Love the fact that this is LS swapped. Would love to do this on my truck as well.
Just great. Yet another thing I didn’t know existed 20 minutes ago, but now I can’t live without.
14:41 - “High lift…” do what now? 😂😂😂
As I was saying that I was instantly regretting it.
I drove one from Denver to the south rim grand canyon in a white out blizzard back in 1991 - love land cruisers
What a great rig. And part of the family too!
One of the best rigs I have seen. Remember someone had one of this when I was much younger...
Anyone that thumbs down this I just don’t know what to say this is a Awsome rig
NOW THAT IS A COOL RIG! I Love that he's doing the work himself, and it's NOT a Wrangler driving around at GVWR before packing for a trip!
Bitchin FJ! Thanks Michael.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, overland bound) watching this from Russia
This is my dream rig! Awesome work
My FJ62 came from Santa Cruz. I keep moving there, moving somewhere else and then back, such a great place.
Incredible job on this 60!
That's an absolutely awesome build.
man this is an absolut weapon in offroad ! i really like it !
Overland bound i remember when you had like 5k subs been following you since then... Wow man you've come a LONG way. Way more professional. What a quality & cinematography & editing. And the colors Ohh my my beautiful. You do justice to these build. As much as the builds you make them look more beautiful ❤️ huge props 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!!!!
Nice and Clean!
Beautiful rig.
Very cool FJ
these dinosaurs are still the best looking trucks even in 2024!
Awesome rig
👍🏽 well done
That is one Well put together rig... I would be extremely interested in having one similar.. I got rid of my 3 Land Rovers ... my old Montero miss them all but looking for the next one that will stay with me for the rest of days
I want to see how it moves on the trails. Awesome rig.
Super awsome
Great truck man👍👍
Awesome Cruiser
Very nice rig
Yay!
Very nice truck Anthony, just replace the painted noise dampener/ heat shield on bottom of the hood, and it will be fantastic!!
$2500???!!! Oh my lol what a steal!
Considering the classic this vehicle is and will forever be an icon, yes, an investment well made! I paid $3,500 for my FJ40 back in 1990, sunk another $6,500 into it and it is still working hard some 30 years later and a total of 560k miles on the chassis.
Great looking ride! OB 6811
Bit of feedback.. keep the walk arounds coming! Good views and very informative.
Also.. any chance of getting more "non conventional" overlanders, e.g. Rams, big chevs, Subarus etc. It may sound odd but Subaru deserves more credit and as far as big trucks go it's great seeing what they're capable of instead of the usual big rims rubberband tyres and this is all coming from an Aussie!
🇺🇸🇦🇺
Nice clean rig. Nice to see some of our items from Australia on it haha ;) I like the idea of the front camera, that is something I could do with my 80 series, I already have a rear camera which is great for parking but also to see how close the car is behind me in traffic (some of these suckers are like inches from my bumper in heavy traffic and I'm like "get off my ass ffs!!" Great to see an old girl done up and running.
Thanks man! Australian Cruisers are the high water mark in my opinion. The camera helps when I can’t get my wife to get out and spot me on the rocks.
Holy cow Michael! Thanks for the shoutout 🍺
Absolutely Joey! My pleasure! absolute-wits-end.com/
Yeah, thanks for creating some great products!
@@youpers 🥰
I'd like to see it sway in an evasive maneuver!
Would love more details about the engine and to hear it startup and idle.
Very near stock 6.0. It’s smog legal so don’t want to jeopardize that. Otherwise installing a CA legal turbo kit soon, don’t know which though.
"if I make it too nice, I won't use it" - yep.. 1,000% that.
My understanding is that a 80 rear axle is 5" inches wider then the stock 60 front axle. Did you narrow the 80 axle ? widen the front axle ? run spacers on the front ? I do understand why you put the 80 axle on the rear. Full float, Disc brakes, and the all important parking brake. an amazing rig. Thank you for sharing.
It’s only 3” wider so I have 1.5” spacers in front. Otherwise yes all the benefits are true, it’s a very good upgrade.
Can u tell me more about moving the shackles to the back, how it helped with the drive. The steering issue has been something we want sorted. Here in Australia and we are struggling to figure out how to fix it and if it can be fixed.
Love this community and I hope one day to join. I wish you guys would feature a female overlander and her rig as inspiration. I look at this videos and see most people(men) doing a lot of the work themselves. I have the same mentality of doing it myself but I dont have any knowledge of car stuff and I would seriously be struggling.
I know I fit the stereotype, but honestly I just bought tools when I could afford them and taught myself in my parents driveway (when they were at work) on my first car when it blew a head gasket. Took me a couple tries but figured it out eventually. There's a huge support group in Overland Bound that would love to help you on your way to being mechanically capable. Just have to be willing to make mistakes and do things over again when you mess it up, at least thats how I leaned.
Awesome rig! Where did you get the blue stripe decals? They look great 👍🏻
Thanks! They came from a shop in the Netherlands called Cruiser World
Great video!
Everytime I see one of these older rigs I fall in love, until I get into a newer rig with all the creature comforts were all used to...
How do you balance creature comforts and daily driving vs off road rig?
Thanks for the comment, when I drive this its usually on the trail or weekend trips, it doesn't see any daily driving.
low expectations
I drove my FJ40 as a daily driver until I sat in an air conditioned, a HD sound system equipped 4Runner.... parked the 40 and only wheeled. I miss driving it though that is why it is getting a make over so I can add some of those creature comforts to and aging piece of off-road art.
Firstly, Sweet 60. I've gone another route with mine but see improvements you have tackled I am interested in.
@Anthony, any chance you could elaborate more on the PSC steering upgrade? Would really like to have a conversation with you about it.
Thanks for the complements. The PSC hydro assist is great, you just need a ported steering box. Several companies out there offer it as a service but its honestly not too hard to do yourself if your so inclined. Then fabricate a bracket off the axle and clamp the other end to the tie rod. I used their 1.5x6 shaft. Hope that helps.
Could you clarify the overdrive & adapter you used?? about to swap an LS into my FJ62 and did not know this was an option, but it sounds perfect
Probably used an NV3500 or NV4500 from a chevy full size truck. They make adapters to use the Toyota T-Case with those trans.
What I think he has done is use a Ranger Overdrive, PN 760024M-27, that sits between a Chevy bellhousing and the Toyota transmission.
Looks like you still have the standard equipment 60 series driver side "gangsta lean".
I know what you mean, but it’s on a hill, I swear 😎
Sweet ride. Are the graphics Custom? Would look nice on my fj62
Thanks! Graphics came from a shop in the Netherlands called Cruiser World.
What trans? do you have extra overdrive then from advance adapters?. And stock toyota transfer case.
Where did you get those shift knobs . They look like globe's , very cool .
Smithsonian paper weights!
Awsome rig!! I have an “83”, doing some of the same stuff. Can you explain a little better your motor back set up? Chevy motor/bell housing, and then I was a little confused after that?
Thanks for the appreciation! The setup is: LS based small block, flywheel with correct thickness for use with a early model SBC bellhousing and clutch, cause the AA ranger overdrive is meant for a pre LS SBC. After the ranger its just toyota H42 trans, and t case, also added 4:1 t case gears, they helped the crawl speed a lot! Hope that helps.
I was curious about your rear tire carrier as I'd like to get one for my 1986 fj60 (2f w 5sp). Can you share where you got it. Thank you. Tim
Sweeeet Riig! Goals right there! I just picked up a 62. Who’s a good shop in the Santa Cruz county or Bay Area to bring the rig to for a look over and service? Thank you 🙏
Thanks! Honestly Im the wrong guy to ask. I hevent met a mechanic I trust yet. Plus I dont see much value in someone wrenching on my rig if Im going to be able to fix it when it breaks on the trail.
Do you mind sharing some info on the solar panel system? I think that's a great mod and would love to put it on my FJ60.
Its a 100W panel with a controller in the center console that connects to the start battery via backfeeding a fused circuit on the main fuse panel, that way I can isolate it for long term storage.
Beautiful FJ60. At 8:12 when showing the shifters, I see from right to left, Transfer Case, Manual Trans (h42?), but what is the third shifter on the left? Is that the overdrive you were referring to or do you have dual transfer case?
Overdrive
@@youpers What Kit is used for the over drive? I just put a 5 speed and planning on putting in an LS in my 85 FJ60, I’m planning on building a second fj60, if I could use the overdrive kit on 4 speed I would have a big savings.
Overdrive kit for land cruiser from Advanced Adapters is discontinued......
What pan and front accessories did you use for the ls swap?
It’s the hot rod pan from GM and the stock truck accessories.
what camera is being used to view on the tablet?
Anthony, beautiful rig. How did you handle the DMV/smog with the vehicle?
Cheers mate.
You can put a newer motor in an old car.
Thank you, it’s fun seeing how people like it. As for the motor swap; It’s a process. You have to go through a State Referee and have it BAR approved. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
@@youpers I went through it on my 60 and 80 with a diesel swap. 13Bt and 1HDFT. Had to go to Stockton away from the Bay Area, otherwise they send you to a referee station and it will never pass. Michael did a walk around on my 80 about a year ago. But I think the 60 is sooo much cooler.
Did the Landcruiser ever spend time on Oahu because the bumper sticker is against the North Shore being developed. I’d love to get an FJ60 and drop in a D4D Diesel from DieselToyz.
Not the land cruiser but I support the cause.
Nice truck! What is the towing capacity?
Haha, good question, I have no idea, but I assume something close to the doner vehicle.
What did you have to do to get it to pass smog?
I had to get it BAR approved.
What is the Bunny Scorcher button for?
Rock lights!
@@youpers that was my suspicion.
What front facing camera are you using that goes to your iPad?
just somme cheap wireless camera off amazon. Connects to the tablet via wifi.
Which 6.0 escalade motor are you using?
LQ9
What Places do you recommend going over landing next to Santa Cruz ? I’m from the area
Unfortunately nothing near Santa Cruz other than private property for off road. Closest is either Big Sur or Sierra Nevada foothills.
Hollister OHV my friend
also with the rain lately and all the fires, all the spots south of Big Sur are shut down, theres a really nice primitive campsite called Prewitt Ridge off Nacimiento-Ferguson road, it overlooks the Pacific, really beautiful spot
Specs on the bolt on swing away?
Home made using a greasable hinge.
How do you pass a smog test with the "not stock" engine?
CARB sticker from the state BAR
Love that truck are you selling it 🤔👍
As his son who helped build that cruiser. No never not in a million year will we sell it
How do you get it to pass smog? I would love a 6L swap.
Live in a state that doesn’t have emissions testing
Does it have Air conditioning?
Absolutely
Does this Yota have an Instagram??!
unfortunately no, no instagram
@@youpers darn
where is the start up video?.....
Well there goes Toyota reliability
Love Toyota, love them. But why smogger? Why not put effort towards the anti smog direction? I kinda know why in my own head, but like playing devils advocate.
Sooooo no startup and rev?🙃 👎
Fair point! Noted.
@@OverlandBound I did notice this, guess I'll be unsubscribing... ;)
good point, maybe a follow up video in the future with trail time and motor noises.
Bueatuf truck best truck. The engine I Don like 😅😅🤣😂 keep original gas diesel. ⛽️ engine
