Love it, I'm 61 and have only owned 3 vehicles my entire life, all used trucks. I believe in driving them until the wheels come off.

[@acinfla9615]

Same here When I’m done with it you don’t want it!😂😂😂

[@internet_internet]

Nice! What trucks have you had?

[@markwhite6782]

1980 Black GMC pickup, 1993 White Z71, 2008 White Z71 and I have no plans on car shopping. Hell, I may be dead in a few years so why waste the money on trucks when I can be buying ammunition.@@internet_internet

[@barrysmith916]

My dodge is 20 years old this year. Classic now. It's still rolling along .

[@mattgoss3060]

Funny I really did drive my 73 super beetle until the right rear wheel came off on I-55 on my way home from college for the weekend. I was out of control making big S swerves across both lanes and an 18 wheeler was standing on his brakes what looked like only a few feet away from me the whole way. Everytime I swerved left I could see his eyes and im sure he saw mine too. I don’t know how I didn’t flip the damn thing. It might have been on two wheels for all I know. After almost coming to a stop I was able to roll on over to the shoulder and some nice people gave me a ride to the town I live in.

[@jonathanallen2388]

What an awesome Land Cruiser! I was sooo excited to see that you didn’t swap out the engine! What a true classic piece to enjoy for years to come.

[@Callahangonefishin]

Dream rig there, you can tell the folks who completed the resto took much pride in their work. Congrats!

[@BassPlayer9000]

Dirty Harry!

[@2ndAmendment-Jeffrey]

TLC went above and beyond what any other shop would probably do. Very impressive.

[@coreyforshey3812]

She turned out beautiful!!! You deserve it, Chad. Enjoy

[@johnkale6302]

I wonder if they gave him a big discount for putting this video up. I bet he got all this for a good deal. I love this truck. Haha I am gonna do something like this after watching this with an old cj5

[@coreyforshey3812]

⁠@@johnkale6302; He may have gotten a small discount, but Chad is a seal who served this Nation proudly, so he definitely deserves a discount. IMO…

[@ianderbyshire384]

Great stuff, old vehicles are so much cooler than anything modern, "less is more" is exacly the case. Cheers Ian

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid is actually a very important part of Military or tactical equipment and vehicles. The more electrical doodad gadgetry you have in a mechanical machine the more goes wrong with and the more unreliable it becomes. The way vehicles have gotten in the last 10 years is absolutely ridiculous all the Sci-Fi Star Wars nerd garbage they put in them. That's why the average sedan costs $45,000+ now too. That would be a $25,000 - $30,000 vehicle WITHOUT all that "junk" in it I have no use or need for in the first place. I'm still driving my 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty 7.3L Power Stroke diesel V8. Also still have my 1965 Ford Mustang 289 Hi-Po K-Code, 4-speed manual hard top. The newest vehicle I own is a 2008 Chrysler 300 and even that is a bit much for my liking. I have to get into 2016+ vehicles at work for my girls when they won't start, have flat tires etc etc. I can replace the parts or change tires but I have to go ask how to unlock, start, shift and drive those turds because of all the add-on modern junk in them! Do you really need to have a vehicle auto unlock and start itself without using a key? What happened to shift levers that have been replaced by electronic buttons? Low tire pressure sensors? Who needs them, get out your pressure gauge and check them. Same with cameras, auto headlights etc etc. That is a electrical nightmare and that vehicle will be full of gremlins before 15 years is up and complete unfix-able scrap!

[@yonmusak]

Hey man, just a quick reminder to folks looking to fully ruggedise the truck for fording water, don't forget to extend the length of the diff and gear breather hoses. On the landcruisers the ends of the breathers are often only fed into holes in the chassis, and will drag water into the diffs and gearbox at alarmingly shallow wading depths.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Very nice . Looks like it’s good for another 40 years. Thanks for saving it .

[@FishHuntFreedom]

Broooooooo!!!! Absolutely crushed the build. Enjoy it and thank you for your service and your continued service her on YT

[@davetripper]

Beautiful restoration job. So nice to see a clean well lit shop. I work next door to a body shop - outside looks like a junk yard (absolute disgrace) and inside nothing but dimly lit chaotic clutter. Kudos to this shop owner who takes pride in his business and work product.

[@TEX12REDD]

Your reaction to having AC is golden. Enjoy your ride Chad.

[@kana4114]

Excellent restoration and attention to detail. You can tell that Daniel is focused on customer service. Congratulations.

[@SuperMulletguy]

Your FJ looks great, Chadd! Congratulations on a beauty and thanks to TLC for the expertise and workmanship.

[@westonlandis2234]

I have this exact same year and vehicle and want to say a quick thank you for posting - it is a shining example of the direction I hope to take mine in due time. Hope you enjoy it

[@bama1usaf]

Great to show these good men. I hope they get many more customers.💪

[@reneemitchell3844]

Thanks for sharing this restoration. TLC does good work and we just live a hop, skip and a jump from there. My husband and I enjoy your videos.

[@danwuollet5649]

Very nice I have a 86 Ford bronco XLT All stock besides the clutch and motor it's a work in progress bringing the body back to original condition. Thank you for sharing this treasure and Job well done sirs.

[@seacomberadventures4265]

That is one sweet ride! Too cool, and A/C to boot! Nice! Thanks for sharing

[@bicylindrico]

Damn, very happy for you man. You deserve it!

[@rog8201]

Wow that's just beautiful. Great job to the shop and enjoy it, Chad!

[@Goldenwithaleash]

Back in 2009 I lived WV for about a year and almost bought a FJ60 in excellent condition. I didn’t have the cash at the time and didn’t want to borrow. I’m still kicking myself to this day.

[@jr-gi1vn]

Chad, amazing truck, I did a bit of work on cars myself (apprenticing unofficially) but these are the kind of guys who set the bar.

[@shanman1382]

Happy For You Brother!!! You Deserve It!!!😊

[@lanceviott9885]

Beauty! I could never do this to a vehicle because I would be too afraid to have fun with it afterward. I would polish it, worry about it, and never truly enjoy it for the awesome truck that it is. That is an awesome truck!

[@jimmythegeekstickeyrice6062]

I have a 2008 Land Cruiser first year V8 it’s a Tundra Engine and Transmission. Named her Big Country puts a smile on my face everyday. Best ride ever….the desert keeps body perfect!

[@k9teamzagrebskolazapse149]

Toyota is beautiful, and the paint is unbelievable.

[@jeffthompson6248]

She looks AMAZING! Congrats on a gorgeous vehicle and INSANE work done by TLC!

[@familyguy5150]

congrats, tyvm for sharing, got 3 cars from the 80s, they rock! enjoy

[@itzajdmting]

Beautiful restoration. What an immaculate paint job.

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Sweet ride, man! Congrats on a gem of a Toyota. Outstanding customer service is a pillar in my life as well. Mom & Dad taught me that. Hope y'all get some deep snow this winter. Fun, fun.

[@bags4930]

Sweet old school Yota! Love seeing these things being loved and getting another new life! Drive On, Brother!

[@Superdada]

And what a sweet shop - the Supra sitting next to the LC and the Lambo Huracan. Top notch.

[@bradentokoly]

Congratulations! How exciting that must be. Working with good people that take pride in their work is a rare thing these days! I look forward to watching your adventures to come in the "new" FJ! Lastly, I think you should buy the 1998 Land Cruiser you talked about in your podcast. Do it! HA!

[@Juan0481]

Dude that is a beautiful rig. I love the older models, beautiful simplicity.

[@Sumitso]

Make sure you put synthetic line on the 8274, steel winch cable is too heavy, and not safe if it fails. I also did the carb swap on my old FJ40. The result of the restoration looks to be a success 👍👍

[@hikedayley9309]

Beautiful job. Good luck with that great Truck Chadd !

[@keitht8183]

Man! That’s slick! My 06 Tundra I just keep it serviced clean and appreciate it.. Would like to have a FJ one day. Congratulations Chad that’s really nice

[@oldchicago3216]

[@Swamp-Fox]

Your Land Cruiser turned out amazing! Kudos to TLC! I have always wanted a 60 or 80 series. I live just south of Charlotte. If I ever get one, I know where it will go for restoration!

[@steemerxaxon1643]

WOW!!! That is an Amazing job!!! & A Vehicle that you just don't see everyday!!! Thanks for Sharing

[@johndee3793]

Wow what a company,Chadd is so lucky to find folks that have craftsman to turn out a product so perfect.

Thanks! Nothing like the feeling of a job well done & by the right crew! Makes me want to have my 97 FZJ 80 refurb'd by TLC! Lookin' Good!👍

[@filster1934]

Same FZJ here. Most capable civilian vehicle ever made, in my opinion.

[@r.t.thompson9641]

Beautiful !! I have a 98 Tacoma with a TRD Supercharger , Headers and Cat-Back Exhaust.". And 300k miles. Still stout , love to have them like new again.

[@gregorylammers8024]

Great job! I like that you brought your vehicle back to life! Have a 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 myself that I also brought back to life. Great vehicles. Good day!

[@raulsanchez4493]

I love the FJ60 from the round headlights to the straight 6 motor & the manual transmission. These are awesome

[@robertlarsen6516]

Many happy miles! Awesome.

[@caerb48]

Great looking rig brother, thanks for sharing TLC.. Godspeed

[@GradiorDignus]

Beautiful what’s really beautiful is somebody that can complete a project so many people just never finish they sit there for years

[@jetlag410]

Wow! Awesome work. Like you said Chadd, customer service is few and far between these days. I’m glad to know there are still a few out there that understand the customer service meaning. Man that did an awesome job.

[@kellycornwell319]

Absolutely beautiful job. My first truck was an 85 Toyota 4Runner this makes me want it back. How cool

[@NotAFingBootlicker]

Beautiful piece of history, absolutely love the FJ series

[@leshunter4409]

That thing is soooo awesome! Incredible how good those guys are at their craft. The attention to detail is very impressive. I am super jealous. I hope you enjoy that rig. That could not have been a cheap project.

[@tyguy3876]

Friggin sweet! My dad had an 89 land cruiser. I want one just like yours someday!

[@raysegura6669]

That’s beautiful, big car enthusiast here I’ve always loved the body style of these older Toyotas. It suits you well also

[@esoskratos26]

That is awesome!! man that blue really pops too.

[@Cruiser777]

Just finding one of those vehicles is not easy . Awesome job. That was a problem with the cars back in the early 80s they Rust over night. I work on them a lot back in the 80s rebuilding transmissions. Always wanted one.

[@RonaldChapman-jg5xu]

Awesome man! Great job.

[@renegadearms]

That is a really good looking ride, they did an excellent job.

[@TurboDog73TX]

What a beautiful old Cruiser!

[@Wootangtw]

It looks really good… thanks for sharing buddy…

[@RollieFingers59]

That’s a badass rig there!! Love it !!

[@Grey-Rock]

Sweet truck! Good for you mister 👍

[@baxterscientific]

I have a 67 vw and am making it an overlander rig. This Yota is cool. Super reliable and super cool. Make sure you put a "blaze cut" above engine in case of fire or carry a charged fire extinguisher at the ready. I think yog doin yourself dirty without a nice roof rack with a ladder. They also make tents that go on the top that can be pitched in your roof rack.. Keep the frame clean and rust free and it will last forever. More truck stuff I love this content.

[@Revfast]

This is so cool I just watched your one more mile movie. I have known Dan since he started and it is wild what he has built with Retro Design in a short period of time. His team is amazing. Wow get him to run a race with you. Man so cool. Congratulations on a very nice build.

[@jasonbailey9302]

Thanks for getting it painted INFANTRY BLUE!

[@DoubleAYotas]

Man that's clean! Congratulations!

[@lindydean5993]

Love my 74 Land Cruiser and Lexes Gx 460 both very capable off road!

[@j.ozborne5374]

Your a well rounded fella Chad!

[@stephanarizona9094]

Congratulations!

[@wingman8447]

Nice and clean looking. Beautiful work! Would be a dream truck for me.

[@joelwatkins4377]

[@kristophertjones78]

Very nice Rig. Great looking truck

[@vktravellog1242]

Love the FJ series. I have the cruiser, but always wanted a 60 and 40.

[@Grnbarf]

Land Cruisers a good trucks. 60 is a classic
