Adventure tourism. Overland travel in Land Cruisers. Guided trips that involve active adventures. Running a river in the jungle for a few days, sea kayaking for a few days, surfing remote locations, ect ect ect. Both south and central, may be starting in central first. Don't have a country...

All good points. I did lose a bit of power with the 295's, had 275's on it before. But again, it is really not bad at all and I got zero rub. I here ya about availability of the 295's down south but I did x2 trips to Panama and back (35k miles in total) with a set of BFG A/Ts and never had a...

Plentiful and cheap down south. :sombrero: Cheers

Nah, hate trailers more than roof racks!! I packed more than that in an 04 Tacoma and it has a lower gvw. What I really need is a 70-series pickup as a support vehicle! ;) Cheers

Good point but I am pretty sure the same UZJ100 platform was sold in some Latin countries. I have seen them in Colombia and I think perhaps Chile and maybe even Panama. I know most are 105's or 100's with the TD and 5spd but I don't think they all were. I already have x2 coilpacks in the...

Good job on the hood, I have the same issues with mine on my 100. I might see about doing the same thing, already was planning to do some monstaliner on it. Trails looks very similar to some I run around here. I hear ya too on no GPS, makes for better adventures and gives you much more skill...

2" 7075 solid aluminum link next to a stock rear lower control arm. The 7075 was a front from another project, haha 80-series sure do have short RLCAs. I am going to have the 7075 shortened and tapped to suit 80-series length. I have the tap already, these links are just sitting here so why...

I had to google that to know ****** you were talking about, still not 100% sure but portals are sold if the guy isn't full of it (2 weeks from pick up), if he is they are staying in the Patrol which is getting more buggi'ed out. I am literally giving my Patrol to a buddy to do what he wants with. I...

Good and square This evenings welding session = splice and plating done. Although I do need to flip the frame over and do my top seam. So moving on to putting the RLCA mounts back on Cheers

Yup. I am pretty well informed when it comes to Cruisers. Such as; there is a 5% failure rate on 2000 transmissions but mine is fine. Cheers

I bought this truck last November. I had a really nice 80 with a v8 and set up very well. I rolled it last July and the body was a total loss. I sold a bunch of stuff off it and saved the chassis. I tossed the body. I went a few months driving work trucks which I can't stand doing and then...

x3

Very happy with how easy and quickly it came together. Not the best surface (gravel) or set up but I made it work, no room in the shop right now. It is within .1* and under a 1/16" from being perfect, square ect ect. I can live with that, tomorrow start making frame plates. Cheers

Cheers

It has been done before, few small things here and there will make this different but I am hardly the first 60 on an 80 with a v8. The coilovers and new front housing will make the front end fast and a lot of fun to build, also I don't think there is another one out there on c/o's with a custom...

Around and around I go! Hahaha. Seriously though, it lives again! I thought about making a new thread but why? I will see if a mod will let me change the name of this one. So since my last post...... I did sell the FJ62 to a buddy but he slacked and let it sit in my yard for months on end. I...

Nice old Patrol! Rare down there since most have not survived. Cheers

Patrols have a number of things about them that make them better than a Land Cruiser. Super buff frame, fully boxed with lot's of cross members Better designed suspension, for example on an 80-series Land Cruiser the rear shocks are mounted in front of the axle, on a Patrol behind the axle...

Yea I have ran the MT90 in my old Pinzguers 5spd trans. It loved it! Great oil but real expensive. Cheers
