    People would easily offer you more being triple locked.

    I've got Icons front and rear and Dobi coils, rear and center locked, and a ton of interior work done. Coastal front bumper and a rear swingout I'm too lazy to finish :bananadead:

    Aside from that just maintenance.

    Once a buddy gets time, I'll have a front locker/housing coming my way to make it triple locked.

    Sounds nice. Good luck. They are worth holding on to that's for sure. I can't wait to get back on the road. My interior has worn front seat but the rest are great. Put in a drawer system too but probably gonna pull it out and put the tire on a swing away on the back bumper.

    Hell yeah sounds like a plan.

    Keeping the rear available myself though a drawer system sounds nice. Recent acquisition of an F250 diesel means no more steel runs with my Land Cruiser :rofl:

    My front seat was so bad I replaced it -

    Get that LC back on the road! If you're like me, you probably miss driving it especially with the weather we're getting everywhere!

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    So did you replace the seat bracket? That little annoying plastic bushing comes out then that god damn seat won’t move.

    Nice seats!

    I built the shit out of my 80, wheeled the piss out of it and sold it for $8500 to a buddy. Got it for a steal at $2500 on CL, that shit don’t happen anymore.
    I loved that truck, I will say the worst mod I did to it was part-time the Tcase. So I could roll 2wd…well that was one heavy ass truck and didn’t drive as nice as it did when it was awd.

    Nice. Not bad when the drivers seat is the interior's only biggest flaw..lol. BUt yeh, when I would get snow I'd drive emergency workers to their jobs and pull out all the lifted Fords and Chevys that think they could drive through anything. lol. I'd pluck them out and convert them to Toyota in one shot...lol

    I need to do that on the passenger side :anonymous:

    Driver side I bought the vehicle-specific setup as well as the track-slider all from Sparco.

    Could've made the platform myself but going this route made it a fast and easy bolt-on setup.

    Thanks, appreciate it!

    Funny how small the drivers seat/cockpit is being that it’s so huge. I think my fj40 had more space for the driver’s nuts lol

    You know, I thought about going part time with front manual locking hubs until I drove this thing in deep snow and holy shit.

    It just moves through it like nothing.

    Don't get me wrong, my 4R felt the same but with the LC it really feels like you're cheating!

    I stuck a set of those big balls that people hang off the back of the truck on the front of my truck. Got some sweet ambers pointed on um’

    I get looks all the time!

    Being 5'7" means tons of room for me :rofl:

    Plus I'm a big fan of the ball chiller like the 4R has.

    That's one thing I wish the Taco had.

    I love LCs…should have kept all mine. I am a dumbass…now people want some $$$ for them. I recently sold this one to a very close friend for $18.5, and I kick myself for doing it.

    I have a poverty pack FJ80 I bought from my neighbor and an early run base 200 series I got from my dad. I haven’t gotten any offers to buy either one.

    I'd pull out little cars without locking the center diff. It really is overbuilt. BUt with the lockers alone it really can go through anything.

    I got some built trucks, but this one gets more looks and rubber necking! Hell I even looks at it…the unicorn RCSB Tundra!
