I found a 97 40th anniversary in Montana, with 369,000 miles on it, it has some rust here and there but nothing dire or severe. Yet lol. Id like to eventually do something just like this to preserve it, so thanks so much for uploading this it really helps my adhd brain to really know whats at hand haha. Beautiful rig! Glad you saved it!

You saved one of the best vehicles ever made. Great job!

Looks like a lot of hard work , looks class with Galvanized chassis ,well done

My god man....a wish of mine to do this to my 80. Beautiful build!

Great rebuild well done. I've got a Series 80 had it since new 1996. Has done 97000 Kms (2021). Manual gearbox, petrol engine and absolutely no rust or modifications. Purchased a new LC200 V8 Twin Turbo diesel last year. Couldn't part with Series 80. The prices for Series 80s seemed to have bottomed out and are now rising here in Australia as people are recognising how good these vehicles are. Many are now approaching or have exceeded 500,000Km. Toyota reportedly said the engines are good for a least 1,000,000 Kms providing you look after them and change the engine oil and oil filter every 5000Kms, particularly with the diesel version. I understand that Toyota still manufacture this engine to put in forklifts and other off road applications with the option of running on LPG when necessary .

Wow. That is amazing work!

Mighty video, hoping to have one of these ladies soon all going to plan

Absolutely Beautiful Build

Serious work and well done for sticking with it. Its a beautiful jeep.

Nice work!

amazing work

Love the new colour

That old garage dog has galvanizing too😲

Wahoo great job Man

Great work did I see this 80 2 yrs ago in lough key forest park?beautiful 80.

Makes me want to do the same!

what a job 👌 would you have a detailed procedure for removing the frame.. i’d love to do mine

Cooool

Place la mine Frumos ❤

What steps do you follow to take the body off? I’m wanting to do the same to my 80

Did you have any chassis distortion issues with the heat in the galvanizing process? I've heard that some people have problems and others none at all.

My 80 series has a lot of rust in the back end. Would it be reasonably possible to only replace the frame rails near the back? Maybe I could cut and weld it. How much work is it to disconnect the body from the frame?

Hola a cuántas pulgadas está levantada esa camioneta?

Im looking to get this done too..where in Ireland does this?

dude that labor costs must be in six figures

Great footage. Can I ask where you got it dipped?.

I'm curious with all that work to get it galvanized why didn't you paint the frame? Dip paint to protect the inside and outside. It will corrode much sooner now. How much did that cost? Why not galvanize the body? I really thought of doing this for a future project. Have not found many videos of anyone doing a land cruiser. Thanks.

Hey, nice job. Would she be eligible for vintage Tax in 2023?

Good work. Do you have some file for dimensions of landcruiser 80 chassis

Savage job, I’m after buyin one of these beasts , just wondering have you any tips before I start, i would love to do what you done.

Looks great where did you get the galvanising and powdercoating done? Need to get my Range Rover Classic done badly!

Just wondering where you got those Arches from, as they look rather nice, also is that a fabryka 4x4 bumper?

Anyone in Ireland rebuilding these with the intention of selling it?

What u driving this days? Oh I drive a new 93 propper 4x4!

I thought 80 series have a rear leaf spring suspension

Can we do it in lc 200 series ?

Who did your rear bumper?

You sandblasted it?

How much does a job like this cost? Would you ever do it to someone else’s landcruiser?

howdid you remove paint inside chassis

You’re good, should open your own shop.

Hot?
