Just wondering how many people have Landcruisers. gotta love em. Show some pics too.

i have one, pics in the pics thread..

I have an 80 series, only got crap pics though:


Notice the engine though?

Good job mate, is that a front mount by any chance?

Yeah. I bought it already with the Chev 6.5L V8. You can see the intake manifold has been cut and turned around 180 re-welded back on. FMIC has made a difference, even better performance. It's an absolute torque monster, so much fun to drive.

Just need a lift kit and some 35's and I will be set.

THats fkn awsome, how does it go on fuel?

I'm the reason there are diesel shortages lol.

It's not too bad for what it is, I get 13L per 100km around town. Engine redlines at 3400rpm but it's all torque from idle all the way through. Could really do with a 6th gear on the highways. Plus looking at converting back to 2wd to see if it's cheaper to drive. Used to use it for work, but now have a van so it's just a toy now.

Thats not too bad, now, few months ago when diesel was 1.75 it would have hurt. Could be worse, Ive had old v8s that used 18.5L/100k at highway cruising. Thats half the reason Im doin this build, to get stacks of power, cheaper fuel(unleaded), and better efficiency.

What build are you doing? Yeah I don't complain about it, have had V8's since I was 19 (now 35).

there is a wheel standin 80series in rocky

Got a LC200 Sahara..ain't takin that bitch offroad lol.

got to love the landcruisers i got a 75 series ute

[attachmentid=682233]

My old 40. Bloke I sold it too has put a 1HZ with a Volvo truck turbo in it now.

Gee... do those tyres scrub much?? lol Good pics mate!

Sounds good mate. Make sure you post some pics up when she is done.

this my beast, only mods are 2 inch lift, 33 inch mickey thompson FC2 tyres and dual battery setup

hey risoo, do the 35's scrub much with only the 2 inch lift??

sorry mate they are 33's, shows how often i talk about them

any one got brush bars/side rails or know of any one that wants to get rid of theirs??? for a 75 series troopy. in QLD

Heres my ol girl

38" MTZ's and a bit of good ol home engineering

Holy Shit! Thats impressive.

What mods did the home engineering include?

Whats the cost of the whole biuld? Im sure most 80 series owners would love to do somthin similar.

I flipped the front arms to ontop of the diff, built a custom x link, high steer,moved both panhards up, it has std rear arms but i have relocated them higher on the diff so that everything works a bit better and custom shock mounts all round, so i have the same shocks at each corner.....

the springs, shocks, panhards and high steer is around 3K worth, all the custom stuff cost me nothing as i did it myslef outta shit i managed to "scrounge" lol...

but knowing wat i know now u would only need springs and shocks, as once u move the panhards it goes back to factory lengths... so u could save a few hundred there.

the rest was just a bit of elbow grease really

i drive a 100 series petrol/lpg i love it dont have pics at the moment.

Hey all, recently got rid of my lil 2003 Holden Astra. I now have a Landcruiser Prado "Getaway" model running on the 3.4L V6 engine with dual petrol tanks. Still fairly stock, only thing it has at the moment is all terrain tyres. Mods to come are a UHF radio, bull bar and spotties and the basic accessories such as recovery gear. Pics to come soon.

HOLY FUCK CRANKY!!! BIG rid man i had that poster of ur truck on my bedroom wall LOL

I got some good news today about my build project.

I thought puttin a TH700 tranny in the cruiser runnin 4.11:1 diff gears would make it rev like a rotory down the hyway, but according to the diff experts, the final ratio with 33"s is gonna be the same as a stock commodore. 1860rpm @ 100km/hr. Stoked. as I do plenty of long trips.

[attachmentid=696303][attachmentid=696305]I got the turbo sorted for the build project too, check this for a size comparison turbo to engine block!

[attachmentid=699527][attachmentid=699528]this my old girl turbo diesel!

Heres my mates 75.

Duel locked (ARB air locked rear and mechnical front locker), 36" Simex ET'2's, 6" lift, 2" bodyblocks etc etc..

Had a very cranky 1HZ, had a 1HDT come up at a good price so this thing is turbo diesel now. Should be just about finished.

Loves to chew axels!
