Stage Two 1997 FZJ80

This 1997 was a nice original that had an engine bay fire due to a bad alarm system installation. With most of the engine bay wiring (and engine) toasted, we took it as a sign to try a different conversion. I have always liked the Venezuelan market 80 series Land Cruisers, with their slimmer lines without all the fiberglass flares, running boards and trim. We stripped this one of all that US market jewelry and repainted it in 04 Lexus dark Blue with 04 LX470 charcoal grey bumpers and custom MHT wheels wearing Bridgestone Desert Dueler A/T's. Four wheel cross drilled/vented/slotted rotors, stock height Emu shocks and stabilizer, 100 series Black pearl emblems. 2000 5.7 Vortec V8 with the stock transmission and full time transfer case. Last seen heading for Vegas at full speed.....
