Speedytech7's 1993 Land Cruiser FZJ80 - The ShortBus

Well after I rolled the truck this beautiful 1993 Land Cruiser fell into my lap and now I guess I have to make another build. Maybe I'll remember to update this one. It is a triple locked (Front, Center, and Rear), automatic transmission, 6cyl short bus. She runs like brand new and looks like it too. Came from it's first owner in California straight to me

 

In

 

Welcome!

 

Sub'd

 

Great find! Looking forward to seeing where this goes

 

Hopefully in towards this with his own little twist

 

That's BoxRockets old rig? And yes that would be sick!

 

Current rig.

I like his, one of the first I had seen. Funny thing is after seeing builds on ih8mud I'm starting to think they all look the same when built. I'll be keeping this thing pretty tame. I might get some SCS wheels for it or put my F5s on. But for the most part I just want a super solid daily.

 

In!

 

Gotta post an engine bay pic later.... But in the meantime anyone know of a non gaudy radio that would work well?

 

Single or double din?

 

I'm open to either, I usually like double dins more because there is more space, but if it looks clean single is good too.

 

In for when you say fuck it and build this to a monster

 

I tend to always go with Alpine, Im more of a single din guy nowadays though. Any of their CDE series are awesome!

 

So have I. Not like the Tacoma where you can go different routes. But yeah SCS would be a good option. I'd leave it take as well. Thing is super clean

I kinda want a land cruiser now...
So many more neat switches and buttons than a Taco! Bet it rides better too

 

Think I'm going with this stereo, simple and not flashy. Should have all the features I need too.

Plus it's Blaupunkt, a vintage name to match the classic cruiser haha.

Also @Brice, it does ride pretty damn good, but I had my suspension setup really nice on the Taco. With a new set of shocks on the cruiser it could probably beat the Taco for ride comfort though.
