1969 Toyota Land Cruiser Frame-off Rebuild Completed 2017

Description

Complete frame-off restoration. 1969 FJ40 with a late 1970's Toyota 2F engine swap fully rebuilt with a dyno break-in. Currently, the engine has about 50 miles on it since the rebuild.

High-level specs: Rebuilt 2f, Rebuilt 4-speed Toyota transmission swap from the original 3 speed. Original Toyota OEM power steering added. Front disc brake conversion added. Toyota OEM heater added. The metal is completely rust free - the body has been fully rebuilt on a rotisserie spit with the frame off. Any traces of body rust were cut out and the sheet metal replaced, sanded and welded smooth. Painted in original Toyota Sky Blue with color-match raptor liner on the tub and undercarriage for added strength. HFS suspension with 2.5" lift, 33" BFG MT tires - matching spare wheel and tire as well as hubcaps included. Weather cover also included.

There are just a couple lingering issues with the car: The rear passenger lower brake drum tensioner is giving me some lingering issues by slowly tightening (expanding) over time and I have to loosen it with a screwdriver from time to time. There are a few minor chips and scratches caused by the rebuilder - though I've professionally repaired most of the blemishes since the delivery of the rebuilt vehicle - See photos for an idea of how clean it is! The rebuild was delivered in 2017 with WELL over $5k and 80 hours put in since the rebuild. I have well over $45k into the project. I had to stop counting once I hit the $45k mark (cognitive dissonance) - these are all raw costs excluding my time.
