Love it, I'm 61 and have only owned 3 vehicles my entire life, all used trucks. I believe in driving them until the wheels come off.
Same here
When I’m done with it you don’t want it!😂😂😂
Nice!
What trucks have you had?
1980 Black GMC pickup, 1993 White Z71, 2008 White Z71 and I have no plans on car shopping. Hell, I may be dead in a few years so why waste the money on trucks when I can be buying ammunition.@@internet_internet
My dodge is 20 years old this year. Classic now. It's still rolling along .
Funny I really did drive my 73 super beetle until the right rear wheel came off on I-55 on my way home from college for the weekend. I was out of control making big S swerves across both lanes and an 18 wheeler was standing on his brakes what looked like only a few feet away from me the whole way. Everytime I swerved left I could see his eyes and im sure he saw mine too. I don’t know how I didn’t flip the damn thing. It might have been on two wheels for all I know. After almost coming to a stop I was able to roll on over to the shoulder and some nice people gave me a ride to the town I live in.
Dream rig there, you can tell the folks who completed the resto took much pride in their work. Congrats!
Dirty Harry!
TLC went above and beyond what any other shop would probably do. Very impressive.
Great stuff, old vehicles are so much cooler than anything modern, "less is more" is exacly the case.
Cheers

K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid is actually a very important part of Military or tactical equipment and vehicles. The more electrical doodad gadgetry you have in a mechanical machine the more goes wrong with and the more unreliable it becomes. The way vehicles have gotten in the last 10 years is absolutely ridiculous all the Sci-Fi Star Wars nerd garbage they put in them. That's why the average sedan costs $45,000+ now too. That would be a $25,000 - $30,000 vehicle WITHOUT all that "junk" in it I have no use or need for in the first place. I'm still driving my 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty 7.3L Power Stroke diesel V8. Also still have my 1965 Ford Mustang 289 Hi-Po K-Code, 4-speed manual hard top. The newest vehicle I own is a 2008 Chrysler 300 and even that is a bit much for my liking. I have to get into 2016+ vehicles at work for my girls when they won't start, have flat tires etc etc. I can replace the parts or change tires but I have to go ask how to unlock, start, shift and drive those turds because of all the add-on modern junk in them! Do you really need to have a vehicle auto unlock and start itself without using a key? What happened to shift levers that have been replaced by electronic buttons? Low tire pressure sensors? Who needs them, get out your pressure gauge and check them. Same with cameras, auto headlights etc etc. That is a electrical nightmare and that vehicle will be full of gremlins before 15 years is up and complete unfix-able scrap!
She turned out beautiful!!! You deserve it, Chad. Enjoy
I wonder if they gave him a big discount for putting this video up. I bet he got all this for a good deal. I love this truck. Haha I am gonna do something like this after watching this with an old cj5
@@johnkale6302; He may have gotten a small discount, but Chad is a seal who served this Nation proudly, so he definitely deserves a discount. IMO…
Dang girl you got some short shorts on. 😅
That came back, super clean and fast! I never thought those guys could knock that out in less than three months! Fantastic job. If you don’t mind sharing, what was the ballpark $number that the paint bodywork/restore cost you?
I REALLY want to know this.😀
You never gave a price of what it costs to restore your vehicle???
Probably $8-$10k with my experience but maybe $5k since he’s promoting the company
Looks amazing!! I would love to know the cost to restore one though. My daily driver since 2019 is a red 1988 FJ62 and I absolutely love it!
I would love to know the cost of this. I am seriously considering doing the same to a 60. Not a body off frame or mechanical.
Back in 2009 I lived WV for about a year and almost bought a FJ60 in excellent condition. I didn’t have the cash at the time and didn’t want to borrow. I’m still kicking myself to this day.
Toyota just revealed the 2024 Land Cruiser ........... your Rig is far more desirable ......... because you can easily work on it
Try fixing a new computer controlled vehicle .... when something goes wrong 🙃
Very nice . Looks like it’s good for another 40 years. Thanks for saving it .
So cool that Richard Simmons is a Land Cruiser owner and enthusiast and he grows one hell of a beard!!!
Gonna be whole new meaning to freeballing them daisy dukes get any shorter.
Lol
😂🤣
long beard and short pants LOL
LMAO had to be so awkward for the poor Land Cruiser shop guy
Damn, very happy for you man. You deserve it!
Excellent restoration and attention to detail. You can tell that Daniel is focused on customer service. Congratulations.
What an awesome Land Cruiser! I was sooo excited to see that you didn’t swap out the engine! What a true classic piece to enjoy for years to come.
So how much?
Happy For You Brother!!! You Deserve It!!!😊
Congratulations! How exciting that must be. Working with good people that take pride in their work is a rare thing these days! I look forward to watching your adventures to come in the "new" FJ! Lastly, I think you should buy the 1998 Land Cruiser you talked about in your podcast. Do it! HA!
Your reaction to having AC is golden. Enjoy your ride Chad.
Beautiful restoration job. So nice to see a clean well lit shop. I work next door to a body shop - outside looks like a junk yard (absolute disgrace) and inside nothing but dimly lit chaotic clutter. Kudos to this shop owner who takes pride in his business and work product.
I was guessing a 4BT, but nope. But it’s beautiful and better than the new junk out there for sure.
Congrats on the new (old) ride. Many happy smiles and miles.
That is an absolute work of art 👏 👏 👏
How much did you spend with TLC for the restoration?
Pimp my ride ... Hillbilly style... Nuff said.... Skid marks!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Daniel was afraid of a bearded man in short shorts. 😂
Dude that is a beautiful rig. I love the older models, beautiful simplicity.
Your Land Cruiser turned out amazing! Kudos to TLC! I have always wanted a 60 or 80 series. I live just south of Charlotte. If I ever get one, I know where it will go for restoration!
And what a sweet shop - the Supra sitting next to the LC and the Lambo Huracan. Top notch.
I want to have my fj40 spruced up and just found the guys to do it!
When Toyota screws up and misses the sponsorship opportunity.....
Daniel swings for the other team.......100%
I’ll be taking my rig to TLC for restoration upon your recommendation.
Your FJ looks great, Chadd! Congratulations on a beauty and thanks to TLC for the expertise and workmanship.
Now every fall spray the underside down with Surface Shield or Fluid Film. Get the spray kit and Sure it'll leave the underside a little grimy, but it'll extend the life of the vehicle tremendously. I just got rid of a 2006 jeep liberty I owned since new. 285k and NO rust. Daily driven in NE PA in winter salt or whatever the weather was. In the past 5 years I'm pretty sure I only washed it about 4 times. It wasn't getting the love it deserved and with those miles it was time. It was a great vehicle though. Never put a wrench on it until my kids started driving.
That's a nice rig. Good luck with it.
Broooooooo!!!! Absolutely crushed the build. Enjoy it and thank you for your service and your continued service her on YT
Awesome!!!
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊🎈
That interior looks amazing
Such a good looking ride! Love that blue paint.
The 2024 TLC is getting a nice redesign and honesty it’s my top choice for a new car. Only problem is only comes in hybrid.
Awesome rig been waiting for this video can’t wait to fine one myself and do the same thing.
Nice work, that shop is for sure going to get some jobs out of this video.
Beautiful restoration. What an immaculate paint job.
BEAUTIFUL JOB ON YOUR TRUCK, UNREAL TRANSFORMATION 👍
A lot of TLC on that truck. Looks great congrats Chadd!
That's a sharp lookin' rig right there!
Make sure you put synthetic line on the 8274, steel winch cable is too heavy, and not safe if it fails. I also did the carb swap on my old FJ40. The result of the restoration looks to be a success 👍👍
Beautiful !! I have a 98 Tacoma with a TRD Supercharger , Headers and Cat-Back Exhaust.".
And 300k miles. Still stout , love to have them like new again.
Beautiful job. Good luck with that great Truck Chadd !
Amazing!! I love Land Cruisers and you have a nice one. You do not own a Land Cruisers your just a steward of them. You are doing a great job of caring for the truck. Was there a reason besides $$ that you did not remove the body? Was the frame in good shape and it was not necessary? Great job and you should be proud.
He is so right about cars just sitting at shops. Had a 68 Camaro that sat at a shop for years with nothing being done. Ridiculous
I would imagine with basic new pickups and suvs costing upwards of a 100 grand in some areas restoring older vehicles like this start making a lot of sense! I have a 1997 gmc sierra slt 4x4 that im considering restoring with a new crate drivetrain ,new apholstory and paint. Ive been pricing everything needed and it can be done for around 25 grand. A quarter of what a comparable new truck cost.
Yep! Makes more sense for Chad to have that restored! You can’t buy trucks like this anymore. Even for $45,000 or so would be worth it. I have no idea what he paid mind you.
Gorgeous!
Too nice to drive now...........major problem with such nice restored vehicles.
BeautiFul!!! Diggin that color Chad. Those dudes have mad skills. Thanks for sharing. Xoxo
Thanks! Nothing like the feeling of a job well done & by the right crew!
Makes me want to have my 97 FZJ 80 refurb'd by TLC!
Lookin' Good!👍
Same FZJ here. Most capable civilian vehicle ever made, in my opinion.
Pipehitters just don't wear camo, IT'S A MIND-SET..... Shout out to Daniel and his Team.... "IT TAKES A TEAM"!!!!
Your videos must be backwards, you been in the truck for weeks now and your just picking up now
Truck talks don’t take editing.
Land Cruisers a good trucks. 60 is a classic
I wonder if Chloe Kuo sees this video. She's in the process of fixing up a land cruiser.
Name it Paul Bunyun, or...the Smurf Stomper.
Blue Velvet sounds cool, too.
Sick! So much better than the newly released land cruiser with a hybrid turbo 🤦
Nope. This rig looks very nice, but they are slow AF and ride rough. New LC will be night and day better to drive.
@@patrickkillabrew6207 Nope. They are slow as fuck but as he discussed he is ok with that for his rig. Secondly, the new one will indeed drive smoother and be more luxurious/ comfortable to drive but the complexity of that engine will not last as long as these.
I have a 2008 Land Cruiser first year V8 it’s a Tundra Engine and Transmission. Named her Big Country puts a smile on my face everyday. Best ride ever….the desert keeps body perfect!
Man, that is awesome. Looks great!!!! Enjoy her for another 200k!
who much this restoration $ ya?
Very nice I have a 86 Ford bronco XLT All stock besides the clutch and motor it's a work in progress bringing the body back to original condition.
Thank you for sharing this treasure and Job well done sirs.
The 80’s are calling… They want their shorts back! 😳
"Toyota" does anything else needs to be said!
Man! That’s slick! My 06 Tundra I just keep it serviced clean and appreciate it.. Would like to have a FJ one day. Congratulations Chad that’s really nice
It looks really good… thanks for sharing buddy…
Very nice Rig. Great looking truck
Friggin sweet! My dad had an 89 land cruiser. I want one just like yours someday!
congrats, tyvm for sharing, got 3 cars from the 80s, they rock! enjoy
Wow that's just beautiful. Great job to the shop and enjoy it, Chad!
Looks great but I wouldnt bug out in it. Definately no longer discreet
That's super clean brother 👌 I love it. I'm jealous 😫
Chad going to be gettin soft with that ac. Beautiful land-cruiser!
Totally awesome.
King Toyota baby blue ready to crawl the great US of A!!!!!
I liked the old original patina paint job way better for practical reasons. It would pain me to start beating up on this beautiful new paint job when going off road.
Love the FJ series. I have the cruiser, but always wanted a 60 and 40.
Just finding one of those vehicles is not easy . Awesome job. That was a problem with the cars back in the early 80s they Rust over night. I work on them a lot back in the 80s rebuilding transmissions. Always wanted one.
bro...short shorts...?...stop.
Looks amazing…congrats! Didn’t hear the cost of the resto. TLC has a great reputation for knowing how to get these old tractors back in tip top shape, but unfortunately it is often out of reach due to the cost associated. From my understanding a Stage 2 restoration is at the low end and can start at around $75,000.
Beauty! I could never do this to a vehicle because I would be too afraid to have fun with it afterward. I would polish it, worry about it, and never truly enjoy it for the awesome truck that it is. That is an awesome truck!
Flaw in your gay shorts
Thanks for sharing this restoration. TLC does good work and we just live a hop, skip and a jump from there. My husband and I enjoy your videos.
Bout time, Looks great. What carb are you running? The volumetric rating of that engine calls for something like 470cfm. Tell me that isnt a double pumper.. Keep her off the salt roads. You can ship it to FL and I will make sure its safe lol
Run Forest run!
I love it, it's super beautiful! Enjoy it! 😍
That is a cool truck.....high brow for a Hillbilly.
Nice!
Its freaking beautiful 🥲
That cruiser is badass. Drive it around for a year or two then it’s time to drop a 5.3 LS in it.
Those shorts should be a crime in a Landcruiser. Maybe a Miata is more up your alley
Looks awesome 😎👍👍👍
Look at Chilly go!
I LIKE THAT TRUCK. Ford Ranger midsize Toyota trucks are definitely like they're dependable. mine's not even a 4x4 but I dang sure installed a wint in the front bumper. Along with a lot of other goodies.
It's a Toyota, and it's blue? 2 of the best things in the world.
I have this exact same year and vehicle and want to say a quick thank you for posting - it is a shining example of the direction I hope to take mine in due time. Hope you enjoy it
That is one sweet ride! Too cool, and A/C to boot! Nice! Thanks for sharing
