Love it, I'm 61 and have only owned 3 vehicles my entire life, all used trucks. I believe in driving them until the wheels come off.
Same here
When I’m done with it you don’t want it!😂😂😂
Nice!
What trucks have you had?
1980 Black GMC pickup, 1993 White Z71, 2008 White Z71 and I have no plans on car shopping. Hell, I may be dead in a few years so why waste the money on trucks when I can be buying ammunition.@@internet_internet
My dodge is 20 years old this year. Classic now. It's still rolling along .
Funny I really did drive my 73 super beetle until the right rear wheel came off on I-55 on my way home from college for the weekend. I was out of control making big S swerves across both lanes and an 18 wheeler was standing on his brakes what looked like only a few feet away from me the whole way. Everytime I swerved left I could see his eyes and im sure he saw mine too. I don’t know how I didn’t flip the damn thing. It might have been on two wheels for all I know. After almost coming to a stop I was able to roll on over to the shoulder and some nice people gave me a ride to the town I live in.
Dream rig there, you can tell the folks who completed the resto took much pride in their work. Congrats!
Dirty Harry!
What an awesome Land Cruiser! I was sooo excited to see that you didn’t swap out the engine! What a true classic piece to enjoy for years to come.
She turned out beautiful!!! You deserve it, Chad. Enjoy
I wonder if they gave him a big discount for putting this video up. I bet he got all this for a good deal. I love this truck. Haha I am gonna do something like this after watching this with an old cj5
@@johnkale6302; He may have gotten a small discount, but Chad is a seal who served this Nation proudly, so he definitely deserves a discount. IMO…
TLC went above and beyond what any other shop would probably do. Very impressive.
Great stuff, old vehicles are so much cooler than anything modern, "less is more" is exacly the case.
Cheers

K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid is actually a very important part of Military or tactical equipment and vehicles. The more electrical doodad gadgetry you have in a mechanical machine the more goes wrong with and the more unreliable it becomes. The way vehicles have gotten in the last 10 years is absolutely ridiculous all the Sci-Fi Star Wars nerd garbage they put in them. That's why the average sedan costs $45,000+ now too. That would be a $25,000 - $30,000 vehicle WITHOUT all that "junk" in it I have no use or need for in the first place. I'm still driving my 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty 7.3L Power Stroke diesel V8. Also still have my 1965 Ford Mustang 289 Hi-Po K-Code, 4-speed manual hard top. The newest vehicle I own is a 2008 Chrysler 300 and even that is a bit much for my liking. I have to get into 2016+ vehicles at work for my girls when they won't start, have flat tires etc etc. I can replace the parts or change tires but I have to go ask how to unlock, start, shift and drive those turds because of all the add-on modern junk in them! Do you really need to have a vehicle auto unlock and start itself without using a key? What happened to shift levers that have been replaced by electronic buttons? Low tire pressure sensors? Who needs them, get out your pressure gauge and check them. Same with cameras, auto headlights etc etc. That is a electrical nightmare and that vehicle will be full of gremlins before 15 years is up and complete unfix-able scrap!
Very nice . Looks like it’s good for another 40 years. Thanks for saving it .
Excellent restoration and attention to detail. You can tell that Daniel is focused on customer service. Congratulations.
Back in 2009 I lived WV for about a year and almost bought a FJ60 in excellent condition. I didn’t have the cash at the time and didn’t want to borrow. I’m still kicking myself to this day.
Your reaction to having AC is golden. Enjoy your ride Chad.
Beautiful restoration job. So nice to see a clean well lit shop. I work next door to a body shop - outside looks like a junk yard (absolute disgrace) and inside nothing but dimly lit chaotic clutter. Kudos to this shop owner who takes pride in his business and work product.
So cool that Richard Simmons is a Land Cruiser owner and enthusiast and he grows one hell of a beard!!!
Gonna be whole new meaning to freeballing them daisy dukes get any shorter.
Lol
😂🤣
long beard and short pants LOL
LMAO had to be so awkward for the poor Land Cruiser shop guy
Hey man, just a quick reminder to folks looking to fully ruggedise the truck for fording water, don't forget to extend the length of the diff and gear breather hoses. On the landcruisers the ends of the breathers are often only fed into holes in the chassis, and will drag water into the diffs and gearbox at alarmingly shallow wading depths.
And what a sweet shop - the Supra sitting next to the LC and the Lambo Huracan. Top notch.
Broooooooo!!!! Absolutely crushed the build. Enjoy it and thank you for your service and your continued service her on YT
Happy For You Brother!!! You Deserve It!!!😊
Dude that is a beautiful rig. I love the older models, beautiful simplicity.
I have a 2008 Land Cruiser first year V8 it’s a Tundra Engine and Transmission. Named her Big Country puts a smile on my face everyday. Best ride ever….the desert keeps body perfect!
That is an absolute work of art 👏 👏 👏
I had an 83 FJ60. Same rare color. Hand down my favorite vehicle. Guy pulled out in front of me and it got totaled. I miss it so much.
congrats, tyvm for sharing, got 3 cars from the 80s, they rock! enjoy
Beauty! I could never do this to a vehicle because I would be too afraid to have fun with it afterward. I would polish it, worry about it, and never truly enjoy it for the awesome truck that it is. That is an awesome truck!
Land Cruisers a good trucks. 60 is a classic
Damn, very happy for you man. You deserve it!
Beautiful restoration. What an immaculate paint job.
That is one sweet FJ60!!!
Very nice I have a 86 Ford bronco XLT All stock besides the clutch and motor it's a work in progress bringing the body back to original condition.
Thank you for sharing this treasure and Job well done sirs.
Such a good looking ride! Love that blue paint.
Thanks for sharing this restoration. TLC does good work and we just live a hop, skip and a jump from there. My husband and I enjoy your videos.
Totally awesome.
Thanks! Nothing like the feeling of a job well done & by the right crew!
Makes me want to have my 97 FZJ 80 refurb'd by TLC!
Lookin' Good!👍
Same FZJ here. Most capable civilian vehicle ever made, in my opinion.
I bought in 2020 aTRD OFF ROAD 4 RUNNER. I LOVE THE THING. YOUR IS SO COOL MAN.
Run Forest run!
That is awesome!! man that blue really pops too.
Awesome rig been waiting for this video can’t wait to fine one myself and do the same thing.
Your a well rounded fella Chad!
I want to have my fj40 spruced up and just found the guys to do it!
Your FJ looks great, Chadd! Congratulations on a beauty and thanks to TLC for the expertise and workmanship.
A lot of TLC on that truck. Looks great congrats Chadd!
Beautiful !! I have a 98 Tacoma with a TRD Supercharger , Headers and Cat-Back Exhaust.".
And 300k miles. Still stout , love to have them like new again.
Sweet old school Yota! Love seeing these things being loved and getting another new life! Drive On, Brother!
Man! That’s slick! My 06 Tundra I just keep it serviced clean and appreciate it.. Would like to have a FJ one day. Congratulations Chad that’s really nice
That is one sweet ride! Too cool, and A/C to boot! Nice! Thanks for sharing
BEAUTIFUL JOB ON YOUR TRUCK, UNREAL TRANSFORMATION 👍
Friggin sweet! My dad had an 89 land cruiser. I want one just like yours someday!
I have this exact same year and vehicle and want to say a quick thank you for posting - it is a shining example of the direction I hope to take mine in due time. Hope you enjoy it
It looks really good… thanks for sharing buddy…
Look at Chilly go!
Beautiful what’s really beautiful is somebody that can complete a project so many people just never finish they sit there for years
sweet rig . Toyota trucks are worth throwing love at.
That's a sharp lookin' rig right there!
Looks great. Just slick.
I was guessing a 4BT, but nope. But it’s beautiful and better than the new junk out there for sure.
Congrats on the new (old) ride. Many happy smiles and miles.
BeautiFul!!! Diggin that color Chad. Those dudes have mad skills. Thanks for sharing. Xoxo
What a Sweet Ride! Enjoy friend..
Dang that is a sick FJ!!
Congratulations!
What a beautiful old Cruiser!
Now every fall spray the underside down with Surface Shield or Fluid Film. Get the spray kit and Sure it'll leave the underside a little grimy, but it'll extend the life of the vehicle tremendously. I just got rid of a 2006 jeep liberty I owned since new. 285k and NO rust. Daily driven in NE PA in winter salt or whatever the weather was. In the past 5 years I'm pretty sure I only washed it about 4 times. It wasn't getting the love it deserved and with those miles it was time. It was a great vehicle though. Never put a wrench on it until my kids started driving.
That's a nice rig. Good luck with it.
Beautiful job. Good luck with that great Truck Chadd !
Thanks for getting it painted INFANTRY BLUE!
I’ll be taking my rig to TLC for restoration upon your recommendation.
Absolutely beautiful, so glad to see this video
Sweet truck! Good for you mister 👍
Congrats! Very nice.
Looks amazing!! I would love to know the cost to restore one though. My daily driver since 2019 is a red 1988 FJ62 and I absolutely love it!
This Truck is Beautiful.
Awesome man! Great job.
Many happy miles! Awesome.
The 2024 TLC is getting a nice redesign and honesty it’s my top choice for a new car. Only problem is only comes in hybrid.
Your Land Cruiser turned out amazing! Kudos to TLC! I have always wanted a 60 or 80 series. I live just south of Charlotte. If I ever get one, I know where it will go for restoration!
Gorgeous!
Too nice to drive now...........major problem with such nice restored vehicles.
Great to show these good men. I hope they get many more customers.💪
Love my 74 Land Cruiser and Lexes Gx 460 both very capable off road!
Chad going to be gettin soft with that ac. Beautiful land-cruiser!
Congratulations! How exciting that must be. Working with good people that take pride in their work is a rare thing these days! I look forward to watching your adventures to come in the "new" FJ! Lastly, I think you should buy the 1998 Land Cruiser you talked about in your podcast. Do it! HA!
Pipehitters just don't wear camo, IT'S A MIND-SET..... Shout out to Daniel and his Team.... "IT TAKES A TEAM"!!!!
He is so right about cars just sitting at shops. Had a 68 Camaro that sat at a shop for years with nothing being done. Ridiculous
I love the FJ60 from the round headlights to the straight 6 motor & the manual transmission. These are awesome
WOW!!! That is an Amazing job!!! & A Vehicle that you just don't see everyday!!! Thanks for Sharing
Congratulations! Nice Rig.
That truck is KILLER, dude!!
Make sure you put synthetic line on the 8274, steel winch cable is too heavy, and not safe if it fails. I also did the carb swap on my old FJ40. The result of the restoration looks to be a success 👍👍
Wow that's just beautiful. Great job to the shop and enjoy it, Chad!
Top-of-the-range endorsement👍🏻
Wow! Awesome work. Like you said Chadd, customer service is few and far between these days. I’m glad to know there are still a few out there that understand the customer service meaning. Man that did an awesome job.
Love the FJ series. I have the cruiser, but always wanted a 60 and 40.
Very nice Rig. Great looking truck
I would imagine with basic new pickups and suvs costing upwards of a 100 grand in some areas restoring older vehicles like this start making a lot of sense! I have a 1997 gmc sierra slt 4x4 that im considering restoring with a new crate drivetrain ,new apholstory and paint. Ive been pricing everything needed and it can be done for around 25 grand. A quarter of what a comparable new truck cost.
Yep! Makes more sense for Chad to have that restored! You can’t buy trucks like this anymore. Even for $45,000 or so would be worth it. I have no idea what he paid mind you.
Nice!
Nice and clean looking. Beautiful work! Would be a dream truck for me.
Man that's clean! Congratulations!
Great truck!
They did a Beautiful job
She looks AMAZING! Congrats on a gorgeous vehicle and INSANE work done by TLC!
That paint is awesome!!
Looks amazing brother!!
That came back, super clean and fast! I never thought those guys could knock that out in less than three months! Fantastic job. If you don’t mind sharing, what was the ballpark $number that the paint bodywork/restore cost you?
I REALLY want to know this.😀
That’s beautiful, big car enthusiast here I’ve always loved the body style of these older Toyotas. It suits you well also
Just finding one of those vehicles is not easy . Awesome job. That was a problem with the cars back in the early 80s they Rust over night. I work on them a lot back in the 80s rebuilding transmissions. Always wanted one.
