Lacey and I have come to the US for a couple of months to take care of personal stuff, to attend a few events and visit much neglected family and friends. Since my Landcruiser is still in Ecuador some (not many) of you may wonder what am I going to be driving while I am in the US? I know most of you do not care, but the answer is so cool I have to share it here on ExPo.
My friend Chris (Lynchmob in MUD) is a diesel Landcruiser guy (or guru?) and he is currently building an 80 series with a 1HDT. Here are some pics of the truck... you might not think this is that great, but ever since I switched to my diesel 60 I am a diesel convert and diesel evangelist.
One of the coolest LandCruiser diesels
The engine and auto tranny waiting to go in
This is the truck prepped for paint job... the vehicle had a complete body wrap, which according to Chris was a very large PITA to remove
In the following pic it has a slight stink bug stance, but keep in mind it is getting a 4x4Labs rear bumper with swingaways. The wheels are receiving a powder coating so the ones on this pic are loaners.
The jambs look pretty good
I think the truck looks great with this color, even though it looks like an Xterra color. I will post more pics as the truck gets completed and those of you planning on attending the Hollister Overland Rally event will get to see it and more importantly hear it
