Nice, I picked up a mint 97 lx450 for 1k acouple years ago from a pick and pull yard. It was an abandoned vehicle from Aspen. Nothing was wrong with it and got a key made and they got me a clean title and been driving it ever since. It's full loaded now, 35's lift, 4:56 gears, drawer system, aftermarket front and rear swingout bumper, roof rack, etc things a beast
Build that Shit Brother!! I got my 🍿. I daily drive an 80 and am looking forward to watching this happen. This is a great start and approach…. There will be a few weird things man, but can’t beat these things.
new subscriber here! just got my 80 series 1996 a month ago for 6k here in los angeles ! first time owning an 80 series , i came from mitsubishi montero . i love the 80 series more than the montero i tell you that ! congratulations and cant wait for you to build this one !
Thanks man! I'm a total Land Cruiser guy but honestly wouldn't mind having a montero at some point, I love those old mitsubishis! 6k in Cali sounds like a crazy good deal too!
Another fan of land cruser here in courage you to finish the project just subscribed and still looking 👀 to find one yet this days this baby is so hard and expensive to find
Ugh. I wish! I wet sanded and buffed the entire truck, and put some KO2s on it, unfortunately didn’t get any of that on film. Then someone made a pretty strong offer on her and I let her go, I think she’s driving around up in North Carolina now! I am looking for another though!
Duuuude. Just leaving this here bc of your circumstance. There’s a company called Land Cruiser Grilles run by a dude named Kelly Said…. Just give his stuff a look… He makes a full front kit with headlight conversion to the 7” like the 60s and can make the grille really however you want it. The geometry matchup and overall look you get is phenomenal, and you’re missing all that shit anyways. Just sharing. That’s a great base you got into man. Thanks for making the videos.
Did not see the shit in back when I typed that… still tho. I’m happy every time that I look at mine since I gave it the facelift for what it’s worth. That dude Kelly is a real craftsman.
Save some searches on marketplace so you get a notification when they pop up. Theres still some deals out there, but they typically only last a few hours. The days of finding these things in the hands of people who don't know what they have are pretty much gone but persistence can get you there! Good luck on the search!

That's a real nice color! I saw you had a front passenger side marker lens (orange). I'm looking for one of those lens, how much do you want for it?
I wanna find one and build it. Can't wait to see your progress!
Do it!!!!!
Hey Daniel, I watched all 3 videos posted for the restoration of your 80 Series. Is there going to be any follow-on videos showing more?

I am looking for another though!
2" OME lift, 33s and you are good to go!
