While the project isn't quite 100% complete, it is very close and has been transformed into an exceptionally capable and well-sorted truck. A few items left to do for the interior restoration include a cracked dashboard and damaged center console both of which I have great condition replacements ready to be installed which I will include in the sale. \u003cbr\u003eThe build began by having the vehicle thoroughly inspected and mechanically baselined by a reputable Denver shop to ensure it had a solid foundation before any modifications were made. Throughout the build, I made it a priority to address as many preventative maintenance items as possible rather than simply adding aftermarket parts. The goal was to build a truck that is as dependable as it is capable, giving the next owner confidence whether they're driving across town or across mountain passes.\u003cbr\u003eFrom there, the focus shifted to restoring and refining the exterior. The truck received extensive rust repair, a full repaint, and professionally re-machined OEM wheels wrapped in 35\" Falken Wildpeak AT4s to preserve its factory appearance while bringing it back to like-new condition.\u003cbr\u003eOnce the restoration work was complete, the truck was outfitted with carefully selected, premium components from some of the most respected names in the Land Cruiser community. Every modification was chosen to improve capability, durability, and usability while maintaining the classic look and feel of the 80 Series.\u003cbr\u003eMajor Modifications\u003cbr\u003eArmor \u0026amp; Protection:\u003cbr\u003e-Slee Off-Road ShortBus front bumper\u003cbr\u003e-4x4 Labs rear bumper with integrated rear quarter armor\u003cbr\u003e-Slee Off-Road rock sliders\u003cbr\u003e-Slee Off-Road belly skid plate\u003cbr\u003e-Slee Off-Road transfer case skid plate\u003cbr\u003eRecovery:\u003cbr\u003e-COMEUP Seal Slim 9.5rsi winch\u003cbr\u003e-Factor 55 UltraHook\u003cbr\u003eSuspension:\u003cbr\u003e-Old Man Emu 2.5\" suspension lift\u003cbr\u003eLighting:\u003cbr\u003e-Baja Designs LP6 auxiliary lights\u003cbr\u003eAir System:\u003cbr\u003e-ARB Brushless Twin Air Compressor\u003cbr\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Overlanding:\u003cbr\u003e-Goose Gear rear plate system with integrated storage and tie-down points\u003cbr\u003e-Huracan Fabrication tailgate storage panel\u003cbr\u003e-Bison Gear interior roof shelf\u003cbr\u003e-Raingler cargo net \/ pet divider\u003cbr\u003e-Front seat-back MOLLE storage panels\u003cbr\u003eConvenience \u0026amp; Reliability Upgrades:\u003cbr\u003e-Window Rocket kits installed on both front window motors for improved window performance and reliability\u003cbr\u003e-Keyless entry\/key fob upgrade\u003cbr\u003eThe result is an LX 450 that is equally comfortable driving around town, or confidently tackling the vast majority of Colorado's off-road trails. It has been built with high-quality parts, thoughtful upgrades, and an emphasis on reliability rather than excess. This is not a hastily modified trail rig—it is a carefully planned build that has been restored, maintained, and upgraded with longevity in mind.\u003cbr\u003eI have invested well over $35,000 into this build between the purchase price, restoration work, preventative maintenance, and high-quality aftermarket components. Like most enthusiast projects, I know I'll never recover every dollar that's been invested.\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, life circumstances have changed, and I've decided it's time to let someone else enjoy and finish what has become an incredibly well-built LX 450. I'm simply looking to recoup a portion of my investment and pass the truck on to someone who will appreciate the time, effort, and attention to detail that went into building it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42550550134866,"sku":"84676","price":23000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/8504\/7378\/files\/aim-intake-a68c1cb2f2d74c38be65bd0d4e17f0bb.jpg?v=1786493844","url":"https:\/\/basecamper.com\/products\/1996-toyota-landcruiser-84676","provider":"BaseCamper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
