looks far newer than I guess it really is.
Nice.

Many on here have criticized it when the photo went around 3 or 4 years ago.

I like it and these are the headlights I want Shayne ...

Hi Shayne that is one cool cruiser thanks for the pics .Tony.

Are those LARGE lamps inside the tyres?

 

[Charlie]

Not for me, not my style.

I chanced upon it while looking at winches i'm not into bling but somehow that works for me

Mind you I'd get rid of the red aerial and those spots on the bulbar.

 

[clivehorridge]

Love the look personally , the problem is it takes away the reason to own a Land Cruiser. That would not look like that after a few off road excursions . Having said that the locals use 'contact' parking here so it would not be long before it got a few bruises, I would be frightened to park it anywhere, my Jaguar (sold a few years back ) was a show winner but I was forever worrying about it, even the insurance company specified a particular padlock on the garage where it was kept!

@Clive, headlights similar to those were available in Germany quite cheaply last year but I enquired with Spanish inspectors and they were not CE marked and would not have passed the yearly inspection....basta*ds!

That black cruiser is right up my street

Looks good, but is it me or do those headlights look a bit like (dare I say it) Range Rover classic units??

That's not such a problem for me. I've got HIDs at the moment and I have to swap ot the bulbs for the test. But the test is every 2 years, so it's not such a problem.

I could keep the OEMs for test time.

Are they still available, because I'd have them at a glance. The "Angel Eye" version from the states is currently at $1200 or similar, when I had seen them for much less a couple of years back.

And the 60? I wouldn't have believed it! Purists wouldn't like it I imagine, but I think it looks just fine, a beautiful job.

Big black beauty!!!!!! Love it, the grill totally changes the beast, I think it actually enhances the shape of the body style, the absolute simplistic style, this changes a genuine icon, not easily done, some people are gifted with flair and imagination to dream up something like this, I want one!!
Best regards to all, Billy Westley,

I agree the lights add such bold character to the 80 series, simple but effective. I always love the look of the 60 series but the build quality of the 80 with comfort being important too. I plan to get the light surrounds, grill & specialised lights that are a bit pricy but well worth it. ( will post lights later) more pictures to come. ;-)

Love that "60" look for the front of the 80 series - even though the light units do look like those off a classic RR.
