Bought my landcruiser in Jan having owned a few 80 series and 100 series and a 90 many years ago .
Was always my intention to make it into an offroad capable vehicle that looks cool ☺
So far
I've done a body lift from milners , 2 inch iron man suspension lift ,
Managed to find the last of the 285 / 75 / 16 hankook Rt03 tyres in the uk ( according to every supplier they are no longer making this size tyre ) got some alloys from a 24v 80 series and a nice new modular for the spare
I've fitted an external cooler for the auto gearbox and a 76c thermostat , overhauled the viscous fan so hopefully it should stay nice and cool ,
I've also got a digital temp guage to mount in the cab so I can keep an eye on water temps ..
I just want a reliable vehicle so I've also fitted a cambelt , waterpump , new belts , fully serviced it and fitted front and rear brakes as well as gearbox , transfer and diff oils changed
I have plans to fit some asfir underbody protection and put a fan on the intercooler to keep air flowing at slow speeds .
I also need to fit my snorkel
I'm going mid Wales in may for a weekend of laining Inc doing the strata florida with friends ..
Here she is when I bought her
And here she is now
