    I normally don't comment or write reviews, but I had this land cruiser built the way I wanted it, I requested everything from the paint color to the L33 motor, and there were many reasons for this. I had it build for myself the way I wanted it, not the way others would like it. I just wanted to say I seriously doubt many people could build a land cruiser to this quality and surly not for the price! So bottom line I just wanted to thank Greg and his team for truly building a truck that was a dream of mine since I was 14, I will never sell it!

    Dale Manahan this might be a personal question but I’m really interested in knowing how much did this project cost you. I have the same land cruiser which was passed on from my grandfather. Is in bad shape right now but would love to do something like this. Is actually the same color

    Beautiful job Greg. I helped my dad build a 75 FJ40 back in the 80s and it was the same color. He sold it in the late 90s as well as his 84 FJ60 in 2011. He regrets it now. I just bought a extremely clean original, rust free 90 FJ62 in the fall of 2017 and did a resto-mod on it as well. The 3F engine was tired but the previous owner had a brand new H55F 5speed manual transmission installed. So I replaced the 3F with a LS3 Erod package using a Marks adapter, added a rear disc brake/full floater axle conversion, using Toyota components, SOA with a front shackle reversal and 35s. Lots of R&D and time, and it attracts a crowd at local shows in California. It also stops, rides, handles, and preforms better than it did when new. People just don't understand how much time and fabrication goes into a top end build plus making it reliable for everyday use, plus having them pass smog, especially in California. Keep up the excellent work, you did a fine job on that FJ40.👍👍👍👍👍
