Nice. Some paid 20K for DUI and nothing to show for. You have a nice SUV.

That’s a keeper of your life. A 60 series with LS at heart for a little over 20G. Memory of working on it with your father must really be priceless.

Great 60! These are keepers for life. I have owned my 1985 60 for 40 of its 41 years, and my daughter will get it when I'm gone! Nice work...enjoy!

As someone who's wanted a Land Cruiser for a while, I like the LS swap. For me, I'd probably keep it stock but don't hate the swap. It's hard to beat an LS motor for daily driving...super reliable.

I love all the little chromed details, like the antenna, door handles, key locks, and matching colored wheels, it's that vintage look for me. Awesome project brother, looking very nice.

Those toyotas are worth the investment they are good cars they last many years. Damn you and your dad did a good job with the paint.

Incredible job for the money and you learned so much doing it. I’d love to have it!

Kind of getting into these older Land Cruisers and I must say, this thing is peak. Those "Mistakes" are just added layers of stories, and building it with your dad makes it even more sentimental.
