That is a small price to pay for steel. but in the long run when you guys work out the minor details these will be fantastic reproduction metal parts. Still early days time to work it out . The yanks have done this with the mustangs and even you can get a new chassis for one of these things. Kick a few goals and Mr Landcruiser will be leading in repo parts. Good luck boys 🇦🇺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Steve! They've got the fundamentals down, they look the part and feel really solid, just need to get the finishing more refined and we're golden.
Good video. Thank you. I am a carpenter, not a steel worker but I am well acquainted with the issues of reproducing out of production items for restoration. Your supplier appears to have made a good start.
I wish they would make reproduction shells and frames as well, reproduction doors, reproduction everything for this model of LandCruiser so then you can make a brand new one if you choose, just reproduction kit cars.
I’m currently in need of another roof myself. Just wanted to ask how the fibreglass roof compares? Do they require manipulation to get them to fit or are they a straight bolt on?
The fibreglass roofs we use fit perfectly, but they've been making them for 30 years as well. We're impressed at the quality of the steel panels especially considering the time they've had to develop a full scale production run, they'll refine the process over time and we'll all benefit in the long run.
@@MrLandcruiser That’s interesting to know. Could I ask what a rough retail price would be for the steel roof supplied with a new rubber seal? Thanks again for your help guys.
Any plans for 60 series lids/turrets? Also, are they galvanised or similar? I mean yeah probably more welding for the 60's but thought I would ask cheers legends :)
Thanks for the honest feedback !

No matter how you feel about the Chinese manufacturers at a personal level they sure know where the market is and are willing to have a crack at it.

cool and informative vid Paul! thanks for taking the time out to show and run through them!
Cheers mate. If we sell them I just want to be honest about it so people can make there own choice.
Thanks for the review, would love too see more details on the doors.
Absolutely! We'll be going into detail on those as well.
I feel like i met you once with my dad whos a land cruiser enthusiast
I’d love them if they made em for troopys!
We have the gutter kits if you need them.
A great and informative review, thank you for your time Paul!
What about their FJ45 Pickup tray/bed?
I wish they would make reproduction shells and frames as well, reproduction doors, reproduction everything for this model of LandCruiser so then you can make a brand new one if you choose, just reproduction kit cars.

Cheers mate
Did the land cruiser Ute's ever come out with a quick release hard top roof?
No you still need a spanner
I’m currently in need of another roof myself. Just wanted to ask how the fibreglass roof compares? Do they require manipulation to get them to fit or are they a straight bolt on?
They have no holes at all so Fiberglass is not a straight bolt on.

@@MrLandcruiser Thanks for the info mate. Not trying to hang shit on the steel roof at all, I was just genuinely interested in how the two compare.

@@thefjirnyjourney8756 Shoot us an email mate, the freight costing varies a bit but we keep genuine seals in stock to go with them.
Where can I buy one for a FJ40? I live in America. Can you get them from Mr Land cruiser?

We haven't heard anything about 60's yet, it'd be great to see but international freighting on something like that is gonna be murder.
