I always enjoy these transitions from poor condition to total renovation! Thanks 👍💥

[@jgcruisers]

I think all restoration companies should see this video to check the attention to detail. beautiful machine!!

[@ferreferrous4778]

I'm speechless when the body rolling.. and started to almost breathless when the beast V6 engine is mounwhe on the frame and those gourgeose rubber .. and I feel that I almost fainted when all the accessories were loaded... my gauwd this creature is so awawesoly fantastic!!!

[@aliabbadi9149]

now, that is a premium restoration

[@ronthompson2366]

Fantastic restoration and tastefully done. I prefer a hardtop but that is inconsequential. I like the new color and complimentary interior. The upgrade to the drive train is fantastic and very clean. Along with the suspension being completely upgraded and not obnoxious. Not to mention all the subtle little things that modernize the vehicle but are subtle and blend in with the build. Fantastic build and it retains the ruggedness and capabilities. Yet filled with very refined and well thought out upgrades.

[@hernandovillamarinbuenaven7476]

Gorgeous outcome!!. Warm memories from the very first FJ40 (1.967??) my late Grandad had. Later on, my late Dad bought his first Toy FJ43. Not long after I got my degree from my MD School, I kept the family tradition, getting a '79 FJ40, later adding a couple FZJ.73 + a series 80 + 4Runner, etc. Given (deserved) TLC, those jewels last forever!!. Many thanks & Blessings for your awsome Resto.mod work!.. 😊🙏🙏🙏

[@TaborJPhotoFilm]

WOW! Truly incredible outcome. I want one so bad!

[@Tmgrnds6800]

Ese carro era colombiano y lo importaron para ese lugar donde lo restauraron, son verdaderos juguetes para cualquier entusiasta del 4x4.

[@JSEARCHITEC]

[@loveisall5520]

Of course, it looks better in its original form as 'mods' virtually never improve appearance. Glad to see it rescued, though.

[@grantmckendry3323]

Incredible build.

[@gembongbaskoro8065]

that the grrat jeep I had one, never getting old.

[@SEBASTIACOful]

This FJ40 it was originally delivered brand new from Colombia . My parents used to have two an 1980 and a 1984.

[@richardgrognard6394]

I am looking for a dashboard for my BJ42 in 24Volts Do you know anyone who could sell me one?

[@scod3908]

Looks like you shamelessly stole all the pictures from The FJ Company and then made a slideshow from them?

[@Carmarka]

Very nice clear video about restoration🚘😍

[@SaadKhan-gn7rc]

Excellent Job !!! your team did, !!! I also have 4X4 called "ROCKY" in long chassis see Model 1984 in an original condition, so i know the worth of these classic all rounder Gems, gauge of metal sheet, designing, durability, ruggedness, can't be seen and made now a days. Keep it up Bro !!!!

[@robertoaprile2325]

Really awsome, at all !!!!!!!

[@jean-francoismenu2515]

Impressionnante restauration.

[@zubairek]

[@joecruiser]

Beautiful restoration indeed.

[@eddiepenh1077]

Holy moly frigin grail!!!!! I love all LCs but this one crushed my attention!!! The long wheel base,the color,the wordless detail,oh never mind …,, it’s indescribable. But please tell me how much this masterpiece cost so I can pinch myself and wake up to reality 😐

[@williamgrazioli5754]

Simply fantastic

[@royespinoza2654]

Hermoso, es una obra de arte!

[@salmanjaved537]

Great job. The work detail is well thought out and it's highly impressive.

[@experimental9527]

beautiful

[@joelarroza]

Impresionante Trabajo!!

[@firesyah]

Great Job and Perfect work Man!! Salute...

[@jianxinhu9755]

i would rather keep the old look - the original white red color combination was a lot better looking than the shiny "after" in my opinion...

[@yustouch2295]

So amazing and perfect

[@montywomack9535]

Well if you need someone to donate it to i have at least 1 suggestion, me lol. Love it

[@jojinabiau5849]

Wonderful, great job.

[@healer81]

Sweet build but I think a 6 speed manual that the Tacoma uses would be nicer.

[@hamedrahi9801]

OMG another piece of class. Wonderful work love it

[@Mr_Canh]

Good job

[@kinggzz]

everything is awesome BUT the original color was much more satisfying. the new color is kinda meh. good work!

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

It's just spectacular! 👏👏

[@padrastrol13]

Es un sueño hecho realidad

[@MrlandcruiserG]

Is beautiful man thanks for the video I can say to much is gorgeous

[@HendrawanWijayanto]

Awesome great fj40 😍👌

[@nisam9920]

Love ur videos ♥️

[@GarageAuto]

Thank you

[@beatsnbeards3798]

chingon!

[@jahjah85]

awesome! 👌👍

[@leobrent7926]

That was great! Amazing quality of work and details, however... I liked the original color much more and the recaro seats don’t go with style of vehicle. And I liked the original hard top more than the canvas. Now that I know what I want, I’m off to make a fortune so hopefully one day I can pay for this lol 😂

[@gektorgor6024]

Good! Very good!

[@AtalibaCoelho]

Impressionante!

[@user-pq5uf1ku1q]

Не понятно зачем! уникальный самодостаточный для того времени превращать в гибрид прошлых и современных технологий, Я думаю ценнее сохранить в том виде в котором он задумывался, со всеми его достоинствами и возможно недостатками. Конечно может он не уникален и их таких осталось много для творческой фантазии. Реализованный проект по моему мнению не оставил той уникальности которая была.

[@raulmarulanda8529]

Éstos todoterreno son únicos más si los antiguos

[@hammadshahzad7339]

Excellent Restoration project 👏 What's the cost of the Project?

[@hanysioufi145]

Splendid

[@user-yp4hh8vj5i]

Wow😮😮😮

[@virginiorossi6622]

wanderfull

[@fastsenna2543]

Excellent restoration, however the car is less expensive, the car isnot original and it is the most important in this kind the cars

[@stevevice9863]

Good for another 40 years of use. Would a 5.7L V8 fit? How about a 6 speed manual transmission?

[@marlonoliveira1758]

Espetácular!

[@johnmartin2079]

I can't believe that you abandoned the hard top.

[@jonahyahwehseeker4555]

God willing I will buy this FJ40 one day.

[@chotuusian4127]

Nice one

[@kinggzz]

overall great work, the original paint scheme and colors were better… imo.

[@muladi249]

Only in my dream

[@handrianahan3165]

Amazing!...

[@davewest3238]

Looks like a lot of money that will never be used

[@taimoor221]

Everything was flawless except the leaf springs. They are very uncomfortable. Atleat on the front shouldve gone for coil spring conversion

[@ThaiNguyen-mu1pv]

Great

[@Xatruch504]

You didn't do any justice to that nice makeover by replacing the engine, should've stick to the original 6 in-line, that thing is power beast, didn't need that V6 at all. I would've give love to the factory 2F. But that is just me.

[@vitorandrade3762]

In Brazil is also known as "Bandeirante"

[@memoalonso3317]

Absolutely beautiful! Yes I want one, I'm California. Is this doable? Thank you.

[@edwardmartin1588]

Anything is doable if you throw enough money at it, look on Facebook marketplace, sometimes you can get a decent deal.

[@muhammadasrofi7196]

Original good condition

[@gunawankawi3128]

I like

[@F9i7.]

جميل جدا

[@wolfgangezeh2221]

How much will this restoration cost? It will be nice to have such information for future and potential buyers/customers. Beautiful job, otherwise.

[@scod3908]

They wouldn't know, they've stolen all the pics from The FJ Company. Have a look at the actual builder's website!

[@enzo9640]

Perfect. Lindo

[@user-sd8vh1is1r]

🔥

[@GarageAuto]

👍

[@jironmeister]

No reflectives...

[@equals-kl9hm]

Very pretty but these were meant to be outside in the dirt and mud. You built something for the showroom. Who can afford one of these? You could buy 5 brand new Tacomas' maybe 6 . . . I own 2 FJ40's a 1965 and a 1976. See you on the trails!!!

[@markpirau745]

Awesome restoration

[@sulistyotyo158]

Great job, but no process video... Hmmm

[@shohidulislam5982]

এটাতে কি Engine change করা হইছে?

[@karisblack]

Which engine did you swap to

[@jdavilape]

A lot of work but it worthed

[@aaronfeliciano9230]

I'ts 100% beautiful than before our you selling this toyota land cruiser, how much it is?

[@aminzarithakir941]

This is not RESTORATION, this is RESTOMOD...

[@emb2575]

Gostei mais do before kkk

[@donaldwilliams6821]

Ther results are amazing. Though just music and a slideshow is not impressive TBH. I would have rather have someone cover some of the challenges, and highlighting the improvements vs. just a list in the description. Describe the hours spent to get it to that point. The music got annoying so I skipped over a lot. Workmanship looks outstanding.

[@adventureisaverb4361]

It’s because these people just took other people’s pics and made a video I was dumb enough to watch

[@LandieFreak]

wow

[@fj40landcruiser10]

it is 1977 or 1974

[@mohammadjaved8533]

How much is the cost

[@fj40landcruiser10]

are you sure it is 1981 dude

[@lawrencebell8715]

WOW

[@imamwibowo3251]
