land cruiser from England ?

 

[smallfoot]

British Land Rover I think is now a part of Jaquar Manufacturing. I got to drive a Land Rover one time back a few years. Non-synchronized gear box took double clutching to shift and seemed to be really under powered compared to my old Jeep. Bigger, heavier and harder to find find parts. A Jeep foundation would be cooler in my mind if you were gonna build one. If you want to see a cool Jeep project, look up Soltz's build.

That looks like a Toyota Land Cruiser. Must be in Oz or somewhere like that due to it being right hand drive.

Man that was quick....thanks OI.....any guesses on the front axle?
sure looks heavy duty.......

Looks to be a homemade axle with 4x4 1/2 ton ends welded on. Not an operational 4WD
Structural pipe with 90* elbows welded together to make a drop axle.

The link he gave you was on the Facebook page of the place that built it. You should probably direct your questions to them...?

I think OI did the same thing I did, googled the rod shop name in the bottom right of the first photo.

I would build something like this if I had unlimited time.

That is way cooool [cl
I like the idea of being able to close it in and make it an all weather car. Don't know about the drive train but i don't see an exhaust any where [S

The grill bezel is on upside down. Common mistake.
