Vehicle Description
No Expense Spared Restored and Modified 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser
FJ80 with Factory Locking Diffs and added ARB Lockers. This truck
was restored by Legacy Classic Trucks in 2015 and we have receipts
for over $90,000 from Legacy Classic Trucks and there have also
been numerous additions that bring the total over $100,000.
BODY: This Land Cruiser started out as a clean Arizona truck with
no rust. It was completely disassembled and stripped to bare steel,
epoxy coated, and repainted FJ Army Green. The paint is still
beautiful and the truck has around 17,519 miles on it since being
built so there will be some minor stone chips and the like from
driving.
EXTERIOR: The exterior of this rig has ARB Front Winch Bumper with
Warn 8,000 Pound Winch, Custom Rear Bumper, Slee Rock Sliders, and
Rigid Fog Lights. Up top it has the ARB full Roof Rack with
capability to add rooftop tent. Floor was added to roof rack so you
can put a hammock or chair up there and relax.. Attached to the
Roof rack is a Hi-Lift jack in case you get a flat when off road
and Road Shower System on the back that can be pressurized to spray
you or your gear off.
INTERIOR: The interior was completely gutted and replaced with
everything new. That includes carpet, leather seats, leather
headliner, dash, steering wheel, Dakota gauges. The 3rd row was
also redone but removed to put in the Outback Solutions lockable
drawer system which cost over $1,000. Very nice to have for storage
when Over-landing. 3rd Row Seats are available if you want them.
Upgraded Stereo System with navigation and Satellite Radio. The
Land Tank Seat Extension was also added to give the driver needed
leg room (Very Comfy).
SUSPENSION: Suspension is an Deluxe Old Man Emu 2 Inch Lift with
Nitro Shocks which is the only way to go. New Bushings were added
and this beauty rides smooth.
DRIVETRAIN: The entire drivetrain was removed and customized to
give this heavy beast the power it deserves. The Inline 6 Cylinder
was removed and replaced with a GM L92 6.2L Vortec with over 400HP
from the factory. Factory HP was around 408, but this was tuned to
give 10-20HP more. It has Hooker headers and Custom Exhaust and the
hood was given vents to keep it running cool. The engine had around
30,000 miles on it when installed and you add the 17,519 on the
build and this drivetrain has under 50,000 miles on it. The
Transmission is the 4L70e and it has the same miles and works
perfectly with this engine. The transfer case was rebuilt and it is
a super tough FJ60 Transfer case. Factory Axles were also
rebuilt.
SUMMARY: For the last 3-4 years this truck has been babied and
cared for by the previous owner. It has been over the Continental
divide, driven on 2500 mile fishing trips and it is a great Rig. It
is ready to roll for the next owner. Obviously to build this truck
this way would cost over $100,000 and you will have the only one
like it. This thing gets Thumbs Up everywhere it goes. Everything
works including the Ice Cold AC and Rear Heat. You won't find
another one like it.
