Cheers to all here
There are some cool builds around but I haven't seen this attempted yet. Taking an 80 Series Land Cruiser and slapping an 18' 80's Sunrader fiberglass shell on top. I've attempted this and geared up for it once before however moving to another state was needed so I had to sell the projects.
Today two shipments arrived to my new location here in Missiouri. One of them is a 1995 FZJ80 - K294 axle code (locked from factory). Someone drank a bit too much and had an oops. I'm hoping it buffs out but if it doesn't, this rig will be used to test fit the Camper.
I also received a 1986 2wd FG-180 Sunrader from California. Its been robbed of its interior and drive train which works for me because its less work to tear it down. I own sunrader.com and have owned about 10 sunraders. I've never seen a floorplan like it and scouring the web still don't see an 18' with the doors where they are.
Plan is to chop the back off the 80 and finish tearing the camper off the sunrader and smoosh them together.
I've got many other irons in the fire so this will be a slow build. Today I was able to get the Sunrader torn apart a tad. I have this week off so I might get to some more on it. I hope its ok and I'm in the right place to document this build here, if not please let me know!
Cheers
