"One of the coolest SUVs of all time", I couldn't agree more😊
They have good style
Fred is building a land cruiser. Dave is building a land cruisier. I see a meetup in the future.
Let’s hope so
And Land Cruisers are cool
Great build love our 4 runner.
Wow that 60 is BEAUTIFUL!!!! My favorite series
They are so cool
I had a 1992 Landcruiser. Was a really good vehicle. Never really beat on it off-road. Never let me down ever.
They are stout. I had a 94 for 3 years
Best car ever, best color ever
It is a good one!! Thanks
Love FJ60's, My parents had one when I was a kid... Always thought they were cool!
They are . And were
Had an 82 4 speed Diesel years ago. Loved that ride. Did lots of adventures with mates and my young family.
Got an 80 series now. Go the Toyota's!
The are almost always good
Coolest camera car award goes to: Cameron!
He has good style
One of the best looking 60s I've seen in a while. That front bumper looks very similar to the ARB style bull bar on the front of my Toyotas. Always wanted a 60 myself, for the same reasons Dave said it's really that in between model, still rugged, but with modern updates. Same reason I still want to add a 85 pickup to my collection. Last of the solid axle and first of the fuel injection.
85 is the perfect stock truck
80 series LC has a solid axle fyi
Sending Love for Dave doing an awesome job making content and in a approachable manner. Appreciate the work you’re putting in Dave and chopping it up with us I the comments.
Thank you! For real. I dig the comment section
Beats the hell of the old and new Toyota Land Cruiser mall crawlers here in this neck of the woods. Your camera man has a nice rig and shoots some good videos. Can’t beat the old school SBC’s.
I agree. With all of it
I love it! The '87 FJ60 was the last carbureted Toyota to come to the states. Also the last with manual trans and windows. The only circuit board is the AC control module. This particular one is in astonishing shape.
It really is
Snow and a vintage Landcruiser...I'm jealous! Great looking rig!
Thanks!
This is a bucket list vehicle for me too. This is beautiful
Agreed
Can't let Fred one up ya! Love the 60 Series too. Neighbor has one on skinny 33's. They look prefect with the skinny tall stock look. The ARB bumbers look great on them too.
Great recipe
That cruiser is sweeeet! Throw a Holley EFI on it and go. Would love to have an FJ60 to go up to the mountains in. 👍👍
Def a good rig
Parents had one brand new in the late 80's, great truck and making a comeback with guys getting back restoring them lately here in Oz.
Nice. Many getting restored here as well
Holley sniper fuel injection kit. It will be your best single mod hands down
True
Super Clean FJ
Yep! It’s a good one
That thing is CLEAN
Super clean
This is my favorite generation Land Cruiser for sure. I follow a page on Facebook where a member had just posted video of his 6.0 LS swapped 60. This look with LS power is perfection. Absolutely love the look of this one, Cameron's right, the proportions on this thing are perfect with those tires. All it needs is the LS!
I’m with ya
Yes! Following this build! Love Land Cruisers!
Thanks . We are continuing to work on it
I always enjoy watching you build projects Dave .
I spent alot of my younger days off roading & fixing my truck.
Nothing says``lets play in the snow`` better than a VW Bug .
I`ll be looking forward to you working your magic on this rig .
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
I love bugs! This snow makes me wish I had my baja
@@thedirtheadshed I Loved that bug, wish you still had it too . I got my first bug stuck in snow. I used the snow brush to keep the engine running while I got out side and bounced on the back until it worked its way free. I then ran along side, hopped in, and drove off with it.
That front bumper is awesome Id keep it! Great vehicle I have always wanted one of those too
The old one definitely had a more classic style
Congrats, thats a great ride! I have a 77 fj40 that is a great cruiser.
Nice! Thank you
Very cool rig! Perfect all around vehicle. I will be nominating Cameron for an academy award. Thanks
He appreciates it
Love to see it! I am using FJ 60 Axles in my van build... tank-like for sure even if they aren't tons.
NiceN
That is an awesome baja truck, the more i travel deep into trails in the baja peninsula the more my idea of an ideal baja suv changes, the trails get narrow and rocky and that changes every season with the heavy rains and hurricanes, that would be great of remote camping and exploring, good luck with the build, its going to end up better that you tought.
Thanks. I think it’ll do the job just fine
That thing is beautiful! A 60 has been my dream rig for years. Can't wait to wait to watch the progression.
It’ll be good and simple
I've had an FJ60 for years, it's an awesome truck. A V8 and 35s are definitely the way to go.
Yeah. Almost mandatory
That’s a great FJ and it will be awesome to see it fixed up on the channel!
Yep. I’m sure it’ll snowball
You’re the man Dave! Keep’em coming .
Working on it!
The world needs more Hootch in their life. FACT.
Truf
I know your probably already gonna do it, but please put some rock rails on the side! That thing is nice! Hate to see those rockers get mashed. Thanks for sharing!
That’s a good call: I’m not sure if Cameron had them on the list
Next time you're in Salt Lake city, look up the landcruiser heritage museum.
It is one of the closest places to heaven I've experienced. It even smells like old toyotas!
I’ve heard about it . Never been
I'm definitely looking forward to this build . Love the old FJ Toyotas.
Me too
Just found your channel Dave, SUPER STOKED!
Thanks! I’m stoked too
Nice 60! I'll take that front bumper off your hands and put it on mine!
I think it’s already spoken for
FJ60 is the best FJ! I have had an FJ60 and FJ80. The 80 drove amazing, but the 60 is bigger way more stylish.
Agreed
looong build series please!! this thing is rad
We will keep making moves on it
Wow that is super clean ! I can't wait to see all the mods it's going to get. Do it some justice Dave 🤙
We will make it good
I love these Land Crusiers. The F60, 62. I'd like to shoehorn Tundra V-8 in one.
The 1uz would be a fun swap
That cruiser is beautiful
It is
Looking forward to seeing more of the FJ60!
Coming up . Soon
It needs a gen 5 4runner v6 . Its a sweet ride. 👍👍✌
That’s a good option too
Love the FJ60. I owned one for a while and regret selling it. My was fecal brown color. The 60 was carbureted. The 62 series with the square headlights had EFI.
Yep. I haven’t owned one yet. So my details are fuzzy
Also its nice seeing simple builds too. I think too many youtubers are going crazy with builds and the average gearhead just can't afford that stuff.
I agree
Dave is working on a 60 series, Fred is working on an 80 series, and I just got a fresh stack of stickers from Dave himself. This is what I call a very Merry Christmas.
Ho ho ho!
Love those things, wanted one since about '89 or so.
I dig em too
Love it, if that carb won’t run in the secondaries suspect that specter carb hat I fought the smaller aluminum one for years till I finally figured out that they make a weird air problem
Good advice, thanks
That thing is super clean. Love the red for sure.✅🤙
Great color
Happy to see Dave is still recording, Toyota with a sbc is a good start. hope I see that turbo 350 and 203 get upgraded.
Yeah. It’s got room for improvement
I approve. That thing looks so right.
It’s got the classic looks nailed
Looks like a good project a nice FJ it's a keeper for sure
Yep. I hope he keeps it a while
Reminds me of my '86 Wagoneer. Style with competence
Yep!
That's a very nice clean classic Toyota.
It is. Thanks
Wow - looks like it is in great condition!
It really is
Absolutely gorgeous
I’m blushing
I love the Chevy small block swap
I agree. It’s actually a really clean swap
They are tanks... and so reliable. I take my FJ62 to places most people won't dare to drive in the most modern 4x4 here in Utah.
Sounds like a good life
where in utah are you?
@@drewlinton3472 I'm in Cedar City. Yourself?
@@Gerbyq ah, way up in Brigham City. I tend to find the cruiser community to be fairly small (as in tight-knit) around here
@@drewlinton3472 Gotcha, so much LC goodness in the greater SLC area! That's a good place to live.. What kinda cruiser do you have?
I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do with Cameron's FJ60. Your videos keep getting better and bettter. Keep up the good work Dave!
Thanks. It’s gonna be a fun one
We did a LS3 in a 84 FJ60 at JBA. There’s a few pics on my IG feed. It was in the Toyota Tan. Totally unassuming other than the 35s. Kept it quiet with a big Walker muffler. He had it painted after we had it at the SD International Auto Show. Still tan.😂
That’s a cool build
Man that thing is beautiful a little TLC he's gonna have a masterpiece 🦅🇺🇸💪😁👍
Yep. Great starting point
100% agree!!! The FJ60 is so rad!
Classic
Great choice Dave! I have an FJ62 that I use for camping / 4wheeling exclusively.
She’s a slow gas guzzling pig, but I wouldn’t have her any other way.
Good rigs
as an aussie, these are iconic here. caught my attention.
the 80 series landcruiser (or lexus lx450) was more popular due to a better engine range and more capable off-road.
I prefer the 80 but like the 60 looks
@@thedirtheadshed can you still find 80s over there?
The popular competitor is the Nissan patrol (Safari) can you find them over there because I'm not sure if they were domestically available to you guys...
Damn, I was totally bummed when this ended!!! What a great platform to start with and also my favorite body style. The boxy design has cool lines and reminds me of the cool boxy lines of a 72-79 Ford F100. Can’t wait for the follow-up video! Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas and healthy New Year…
Thanks. We just put a bunch of work in yesterday. More videos to come
I can’t wait for you to cut that in half! 4D’s and Tons! #LSSWAP the world!!!
Haven’t cut something in half in almost a year…
@@thedirtheadshed 😪. I’ll send some blades!
That Thing is beautiful! Dave, love you man, but leave the camera to Cameron! lol
Ahh man. I’ll get bettet
Very cool. By the way, love the intro. music. 😎
Thank you
Dude cool name and even cooler FJ
Thanks
That is one sweet rig!! I want one.
Thanks!
Bad ass! Nice get Cameron!
He scored
@@thedirtheadshed Have a 74 fj40 but looking to buy a 60 or 80 series and daily it. Suggestions. Not going to mod it lite trails etc
That's a beautiful cruiser!!! Love them! Had a 1991 fj80 in the factory two tone desert dune paint n graphics..such a fun rig but EXPENSIVE parts and hard to find...and 10mpg no matter how I drove it and worse with the 33s on it...wish I had those axles though!!!!!
They are pigs. For sure
looking forward to seeing upgrades. would really like to see some winch selection videos starting with cheapest cause that’s what we can afford.
Coming soon to Shed near you
Overland 4x4 / HF up to Warn? That would be very nice to see.
Love the FJ60. LS 5.3 would be great option but could live with existing chevy V8 with fuel injection.
Same
So cool. Rad color, too
It is. Classic
Looking forward to seeing you guys work on this beauty. Always loved those FJ body styles
Gonna start today
Excited to see how this build goes. I'm building a fj62 and am looking forward to some inspiration
Sounds like a good start
Sweet rig man, I am not much for Toyota but this is cool 😎. The plan for this is awesome brother well done, get busy camping and fishing 😀 👍 👏.
Exactly! Less work, more fun
Sick rig!
Thanks. It’s a good one
Nice Gold Creek Lodge Hat 😎
Locals only
Awesome truck it will be great to see more of you guys working on it. I love my 60 and it is by far my favourite off-road truck
They are cool
i wished id never sold my one, such excellent trucks.
I have a lot of those..
Another exciting build and I can't wait to see where it goes!
Me too. Thanks
I love these land cruisers. I wish I could get one
Save up. Start looking
@@thedirtheadshed im a home dad (stay at home dad) so budget is pretty low. But was able to convince my wife we needed a jeep and got a JK for the family last year so I guess anything is possible haha
sweet truck. so just a quick clarification - the 60 was still carbureted and the 62 brought injection. 60s were a 4-speed here in the US but an H55 5-speed swap is common.
Yep.
was waiting for this. the video makes it sound like you could have your choice of manual/auto and carb/EFI straight from the factory. while these things are relatively swappable, it seemed a little misleading in the video.
In Japan they were armoured and used for VIP protection. Military use as well, Japan's answer to the hummer! I had an 88, a mountain goat.
Military grade
Looking forward to this! I have a 1989 FJ62 that I want to build for the same things, family camping rig.
Right on
Soooo Stoked on this one Boys!!!!!!
Stoked with you
My brother have one with the fancy option of electric windows. It’s bone stock and the engine finally give up after 35 of service, so my brother rebuilt the straight 6 and now is running again and ready for another 35 years more.
Sounds like a good mobile
Let's go Washington wheelers!
Heck yeah
Rad love it Dave
Thanks
Aftermarket fuel injection would make that thing way better. Usually I’m against non yota engines in Toyotas, but this works. I want a 60 like this to go with my FZJ80.
I agree. Not my first choice. But not a bad one
Such a cool rig had one a while ago kinda miss all the weird things about it
They are cool
That thing is rad dude
Thanks
nice...daz very very nice.
Too nice for Davd
This should be a neat project. It’d be cool to get an overdrive transmission for cruising but maybe keeping it simple is better
We’ll see how it goes
❤ Snow wheeling
Just getting around up here
I think cameron needs a 2wd toyota pickup solid axle swap build. those little 89-95 22re 2wds make great 4x4 conversions
Yeah they do. Great little trucks
