So I feel like the cruiser hasn't really changed much lately but I guess it has. whats the old saying two steps back one step forward? The pto was removed and replaced with a super winch. meaning I rebuilt the front bar, meaning I had to redo the side bars. so I thought stuff it ill redo them all so ...

Looking sharp... I did shiver when I saw the forklift holding it up for the new springs and lockers going in. I have a BJ74 with a spring over. Plenty flexy... But is has longer 60 series leaves on the back and a modified spring pack in the front so the springs are essentially flat and not as ...

Looking good! not as good as leaf over but it will do for now. Dunno about that, every 70 series I've seen with a spring over axle job looks damn tippy. Cheers Clint I will agree with you on that one, A lot of the leaf over trucks out there are pretty shoddy and done just to get big lift. By remove ...

Lift and lockers going in. 4" lifted springs with 2" lifted shackles and a arb air locker for the rear. http://i.imgur.com/fbaXsKe.jpg Ended up changing the whole rear axle over to save time and the old axle had leaking seals so needed to be rebuilt anyway. http://i.imgur.com/fKYkSvN.jpg All install ...

Luckily I manged to pick up a cheap one off trade me with a lot less rust ...

So I wasnt really planning on buying a land cruiser never really liked the idea of a "Big" truck but when this one was offered to me after a few drinks on a 4wd trip I could really say no. beats the clapped out 84 surf I was looking at buying. I nothing to special just a 3b+T with some 33s https ...
