I normally don't comment or write reviews, but I had this land cruiser built the way I wanted it, I requested everything from the paint color to the L33 motor, and there were many reasons for this. I had it build for myself the way I wanted it, not the way others would like it. I just wanted to say I seriously doubt many people could build a land cruiser to this quality and surly not for the price! So bottom line I just wanted to thank Greg and his team for truly building a truck that was a dream of mine since I was 14, I will never sell it!
Thanks dale!
Dale Manahan this might be a personal question but I’m really interested in knowing how much did this project cost you. I have the same land cruiser which was passed on from my grandfather. Is in bad shape right now but would love to do something like this. Is actually the same color
@@franciscorivera9190 this vehicle to be built again would cost over $100k
Nice Cruiser and nice Man Cave Dale. Thumbs up buddy...
Hi Dale, good for you! The dream is yours. The build just makes me smile, and it's just that awesome in the configuration you wanted. It's the quintessential FJ in my opinion. Enjoy!
My Dream 4X4 of all time! Best Resto-Mod I've seen!
Beautiful job Greg. I helped my dad build a 75 FJ40 back in the 80s and it was the same color. He sold it in the late 90s as well as his 84 FJ60 in 2011. He regrets it now. I just bought a extremely clean original, rust free 90 FJ62 in the fall of 2017 and did a resto-mod on it as well. The 3F engine was tired but the previous owner had a brand new H55F 5speed manual transmission installed. So I replaced the 3F with a LS3 Erod package using a Marks adapter, added a rear disc brake/full floater axle conversion, using Toyota components, SOA with a front shackle reversal and 35s. Lots of R&D and time, and it attracts a crowd at local shows in California. It also stops, rides, handles, and preforms better than it did when new. People just don't understand how much time and fabrication goes into a top end build plus making it reliable for everyday use, plus having them pass smog, especially in California. Keep up the excellent work, you did a fine job on that FJ40.👍👍👍👍👍
I am a huge fan of the FJ Restomods for many years thanks the Jonathan Ward. You guys knocked it out of the park!
Make sure to watch our 71 we just posted a few months ago. Tops this build by x10
Man i love this.. i actually have one of this but the ute version. Been grounded for awhile and still here. I wish i can have it on the road again. This vid motivates me start work on my beast. Great job
This is my dream build. Excellent attention to detail and definitely out of my budget! Great job and thanks for posting!
Beautiful work! Very classy resto mod and awesome upgrades to make an icon even better.
I'm in California and I'm about to do a couple of 'end of the project' FJ40s (1984s) over the next year. The effort and craftsmanship seen here is highly impressive.
Thanks for viewing! Send me some photos to my email gregsrestorationsllc@gmail.com and also check out the few other videos we have posted
Factory air?
Great job 👌
One of the best years of 40 series Land Cruisers.
Thanks!
Beautiful. I dream about having an old Landcruiser, maybe one day !
Wow, that was a beautiful FJ. You're a lucky man. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
And 'Lucky Man' paid for it too.
I love the channel! I am restoring a 1977 FJ40 with my 13 year old son. We just started a UA-cam channel and are learning a TON!! Thanks for the cool vids and motivation!!
Awesome work guys, you guys got your selves a customer and a fan
Love the Australian TV commercial you used from the 70s we love land cruiser in OZ 👍🇦🇺
Excellent video guys, it was informative & gave me alot of ideas. Please build and film more FJ's !
What a beautiful restoration and a landcrusier, amazing work!! 👏👏, please keep more videos coming
Thanks for viewing!

Great job guys!!!! Beautiful build!
"Convinced him".....spoken like a true sales shop.
Well done lads! Cruiser looks sick
Fj40 love of life, still to tick it off. Waiting for the moment but definitely will have one.

I'm a Toyota fan myself, and I'm saying that's no fj that's a monster!!

Love Toyota truck from 1970 to 1995 fully box frame.
great vid, don't stop creating!
Good job
This thing rips! Love it!
OMG!....You guy's knocked this one way out of the park for sure. This is my favourite vehicle of all time. I have been a long time fan of Johnathan Ward and I'd compare this to any of his vehicles. I absolutely love your channel and I have many wonderful videos to watch. I wish that all of your team live to well over 250 year's old so you can make many stunning vehicles for worthy customers for evermore..... Outstanding attention to detail. Wonderful craftsmanship and without a doubt, passionate builder's of one-off dream machines..... Again, thank you very much for an excellent and informative video.
Thanks for viewing!
I just keep hooked for the quality of ur videos
Would be interested to hear the reasons for choosing this particular engine. Overall, great work. Thanks for sharing!
Hi' im Greg too from Philippines,Good works
Yeah I’m a toyota fj40 fun 100%. Greg is one of the best restoration shops seen very detail, very immaculate work. It’s sad that only takes high end jobs, I wish they are shops like this that offers a service not like this level of restoration but a affordable price so we can have one our cars restor to a decent level.
Awesome ! Great job👍
Cruisers Lover, Loved my 1978 FJ40
I need to find a hardtop for mine. I have a 75 cruiser, my dad is the original owner. I learned how to drive using it. Greatest rig ever.
Hermoso Toyota impresionante el. Mejor rústico de la historia
I am in the process of having a 1970 j40 restored for my daughter that lives in Maine.. All original.. Nice build guys!

That’s a bombass build you did on that TLC! Wished I had one! That’ll happen when pigs fly! I can hope! Great job guys!😊👍🏻👍🏻
I have a Toyota Land Cruiser exactly like that, and it is a BEAST!!
Really nice build mate.
Drove a FJ40 to mexico back when I was a pup,I have a lot of respect for them. I have a CJ 5.
Y'all do incredible work! Very impressive.
Great Job Brother 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯👏
Great content should reach 10 million subscribers
Very nicely done!!! I would have loved to see a Cummins engine in it or Toyota V8 but it was probably way too expensive!
This is nice, thanks for sharing this video.
GREAT JOB !

Very nice… just about to purchase my first FJ40 project car…. looking forward to it. Since I’m 25, hopefully I’ll get it done in my own in time to enjoy it for the rest of my life
Great job
Lo mejor en 4x4. Jamás echo lo más sercano a la perfección. Lo de mas es pura espuma

100% de talentoo hermosos👍👍👍
Marvelous work. The Golden retriever is included or not.
That's my boy copper!
Nice work! What transmission and tansfercase?
这车太经典了
Love the build quality. Is it just me or does that tech guy look like a young Billy Bob Thornton...lol
I would have stuck with a newer Toyota engine though but great work all round.
it is the car of my dream
Wish I had another, they were good trucks. I had a 75, and a 80
What an amazing job, well done guys! Do you guys take on smaller jobs? I have a 2011 FJ Cruiser and when I decide to do some basic stuff to it (Lift with diff drop, bumpers, winch, etc) I would really like to have it done by a shop with your professionalism and expertise.
Hey Nick, we sure do! We are a few months backed up at the moment but should be able to get you in between big projects. Call me next week & we can figure something out
@@gregsrestorations7019 Awesome man and thanks for the fast response! I'm out of Rhode Island so getting to your shop will be easy. I'm not currently financially where I'd like to be to start dumping a lot of cash into the FJ at the moment but have just been looking for a solid shop to do the work when the time comes and you guys are definitely it! Thanks again Greg.
Sounds good!
nice job
My eyes are getting wet.. Its a beauty .
Amazing work, I want one. Only the 1975 model I bought new.
Let us know, we can build you one
@@gregsrestorations7019 I’ll ask the wife.
A 1fz or 3f motor would have been my choice. I find that most people go the V8 route nowadays. Overall very nice build quality and attention to detail. Good job guys!
"2F-E". Longer stroke of the 2F combined with the cylinder head and EFI system from a 3F-E. Much more low end power than a 3F-E.
That's a funny looking Tundra V8 in there...
Raise hell praise dale
Nice car..
Wow! Great work. Saving this vid as inspo to restoring my dad’s BJ40. May I know what’s the color’s name?
wasn't the 1f the engine with the shims under the main caps?
Quality best trucks on the rd.🏆
nice restoration can i know the brand of the alloy-wheel ?
Hey Everyone! This vehicle is for sale on bringatrailer.com. The auction ends September 22nd 2023!!
Looks Great - But needs to be Diesel for off road...
What size are the tires? Beautiful overall!
Want to know as well. Tires/Rims and suspension.
Nice work on the truck. Also, excellent video. What production company did you use. Really like how you put it together. ✌️
Thanks! Adam Metterville was the producer on this: AdamMetterville.com
Awesome job on that restoration.. Certainly a amazingly finished vehicle.. Nothing done that good is ever inexpensive so I gotta ask.. What does something like that cost? I've seen late 60's early 70's Bronco restorations go for 100 to 200 grand so are you somewhere in that ballpark?
As soon as I heard it... I stopped the video.
Ich finde es wirklich ausgezeichnet, prima
Schon immer gefällt mir Toyota sehr.
