TLC4x4 FJ60 "140"

This video is about a TLC4x4 Custom FJ60 "140". Come for a ride while I explain how we created it! Tlc4x4.com The nations oldest and most trusted Land Cruiser experts. NOW WITH IMPROVED SOUND QUALITY!

[@warmpancakes]

As a Canadian, it killed to hear him mention HBC as a historical American company. Very much a Canadian company and a pretty big part of Canadian history. Just check where Hudson Bay is located.

[@derrickmurphy9988]

What a truck just amazing. You get what you pay for.

[@coltnelson8234]

Jonathan, I have an 85 4Runner that has been sitting in a shop for 30 years. Would this be a candidate for TLC. I am retired from the AF and a current teacher and have been squirreling away money for this restoration for 20 years. I have a budget of approx 80k. Thanks, I enjoy your work, and like how you are not "Married" to one make or "anti Japanese" like so many guys in the biz, who would never work on a Toyota, Colt.

[@sleeprice]

Great work as always! However the Hudson's Bay Company is Canadian. The company dates from the 1600's when Canada was a British colony with a thriving fur trade and still exists today. Sorry I just had to say something...

[@brianleasure1788]

He didn’t say it wasn’t. He said it was the oldest company in America. Which comprises two continents. I think it a greater achievement the way he said it.

[@mynameis63]

@@brianleasure1788 No he didn't...he said American company dude.

[@brianleasure1788]

mynameis63 my point went over your head. Please stop replying to two year old comments. It’s annoying.

[@ry9756]

Brian Leasure You mean North America? Because if he said America that’s not the same thing

[@Clynikal]

Jonathan the rear wheel carrier wheel bearing serves a specific double purpose here down under; if you lose an actual wheel bearing out the back of nowhere you can take that swing away bearing (which we purposefully change to a standard wheel bearing) and use it to make you bad corner good. Also the rear vent louvers while I absolutely want some of yours should probably be horizontal to minimise water ingress? The pooling in the rear cargo quarter panel if you don't maintain the drain (weep) hole always causes rust and that vent drains to that point. Keep up the good work, you're truely the benchmark.

[@jesussierra5978]

😳😭

[@cruiserenthuiser]

Always a fan of your work and I’m super happy to see you giving the 60 series some of the design details the Icon products enjoy. As an owner of several 60 series trucks I am very interested in the custom aluminum louvers, handles, etc. Any chance you’ll be offering these products for sale? Also, love the grill and headlight buckets. If you designed the grill to accept the original Toyota badge I think you would sell a ton of them.

[@felixlopez1754]

The 60 body looks absolutely amazing. 80 and 100 downgraded in all honesty

[@nboris31]

Yep, no other Land Cruiser is better designed!

[@NKPGarage]

Wow. What an absolute gorgeous build!

[@vladpyntya4175]

Would love to see one of these with a toyota Diesel motor swap.

[@Saratogan]

Hudson Bay Company is Canadian. :-)

[@liamgadsby6718]

Robert Promm HUDSON BAY BLANKET COMPANY. HAHAHAH! It is just the Hudson Bay company. It's the oldest company still in business in the world and it is Canadian.

[@sammya113ga9]

[@celluloiding]

I get the Hudson blanket connection but I can't help but wonder how much more authentic the vehicle would have looked with an off-white base vs. the Ferrari charcoal.......still, an amazing vehicle. Thank you for your heirloom quality and admirable fastidiousness.

[@TimShaw1]

A very gray line between this TLC and an Icon.

[@taylornave4298]

It’s a beautiful truck, but I don’t think that’s for me. I’d rather keep my FJ62 an FJ62. Plus I’m a 315,000+ on the original engine and trans, and we’re gonna see how far it’ll go.

[@paulstaf]

The front wheels don't look centered in the wheel wells. I guess it is because of the difference between the two different vehicles used, but it looks funky when looking at it from the side.

[@renovation5093]

Paul Stafford glad you mentioned this. I thought I was the only one who noticed it.

[@UHGPRA]

The grille and headlight bezels are just phenomenal.

[@controlledfreakr]

Holy shit. What a rig

[@Designandrew]

front wheel is about an inch or two off center on the front... guess it wasn't worth stretching the chassis for that

[@danamurch8939]

The front wheel not centered also bothered me a little bit.

[@lancet-kinzhal-sarmat-su57]

Nice car. BUT: 1. strips in the cabin and on the hood - bad taste 2. Why put an American Poor engine in a Japanese high-quality car? Isn't there a good Toyota 5.7 liter engine from the Toyota Tundra or Lexus LX570? or a 5.0 liter engine from Toyota Century? 3. Why put outdated morally leaf springs when there are bar springs?

[@FrankLeeNE1care]

Jonathan, Can you please tell me what brand the rear light is above the gas can? Is it a custom pole mount? I would love that for my cargo area of my truck bed. Thank you.

[@levisalvini4110]

For the kind of Money they are asking for a TLC Toyota LC, they could, at least center the rear/front axles a little better in the wheel wells!!! You can easily see that the "80" wheel base is too short... It doesn't take much to put some adjustable radius arms, perhaps from JKS, a Company like few others if we're talking about quality.

[@davidwitcher5443]

Previously built with a Hemi and Jeep axles? WTF?

[@johnnyrocco]

What do you think of putting the new cummins 2.8 turbo into a FJ-60? Anyone??? Would it be enough power???? That's what I want FJ 60 Tubro Diesel 5 speed and I want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@12mac88]

The 2.8 has more power than the original 12H-T so it should have enough power.

[@johnnyrocco]

thanks for the reply. I'm hoping to see the 2.8 in fj 60's soon.

[@dixy2k]

It has enough power for 1980's. Not enough in today's world. It needs lots of mods to bump the power up. In stock form no.

[@leonides136]

Simplesmente Fantástico! Como faço para comprar uma raridade dessa?

[@tregarthpowell9318]

Love the work! My FJ62 needs this. In the near future of course

[@NA12495]

Looks nice. Why don't people use newer Toyota drive train?

[@greatpariscars]

GoPro is the worst. Their stock price couldn't be lower. They will be out of business soon.

[@atomicorang]

A lot of heart went into this build.

[@weldon9254]

Fantastic rig. Well done.

[@axeavier]

12:00 gave me a bit of a scare with the sudden sound change.

[@cdismufasa]

This was an extensive build. Pretty amazing.

[@donaldholman9070]

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful job.

[@tom_olofsson]

A wonderful result.

[@robmeekel9198]

The Hudson Bay Company, was a British company created by a Royal Charter to trade in British North America. (British Territory) It traded in all North American land that drained into Hudson Bay, and was considered the Government in any territory it served. The blankets were a main trading item for the first nation people as they were made of wool which was easy to work with and warm when wet as compared to animal skins. Although British (1670-) and then Canadian (1867-) through most of its history it was bought out by an American company in 2008.

[@DickinsonLivingInDickinsonNort]

This vehicle which you have restored and improved, is much, much better than any vehicle that you can buy new from a manufacturer, regardless of price. Better than Mercedes, Range Rover, Jeep, and even a new Landcruiser. I wish that manufacturers would build them just like this in the first place, but they won't because they would last for ever and the original buyer would keep them for ever. Excellent roof rack, hidden winch, and accessory fuel tank you didn't have time to mention.

[@jcoats5529]

Ad blasting mid stream. F. O.!

[@wikque860]

very nice, but no elect windows🙄

[@eggbirdtherooster]

Always liked this car designwise. Jonathan, is it an idea to let “us” hear the car’s soundsystem with a short part of royaltyfree music..? ;)

[@DJBillLovelace]

Fantastic looking ride!

[@my4cars528]

Always curious what extra details are in the blah blah blah! Rad build as usual.

[@30musabboouf61]

Same here 😂

[@adjustible]

love the 140 concept, hate the audio in this video. Cool build. Wheelbase of the chassis appears a little short compared to the body...

[@lkendrix7782]

Shop Tour?! What going on?!

[@dsm02c]

Is it just me or would it make you insane if you had rattles in what is probably a $150,000+ truck?

[@balestinian]

dsm02c ya it should be waaaaaaay quiter for that kinda money, might as well get the newest LX and add the gay rainbow yourself. ..way nicer

[@DickinsonLivingInDickinsonNort]

I think that when you have the winch cable end, the off-road jack attached to the roof rack, the accessory fuel can, the rear mounted spare tire, you are going to have rattles and squeaks. The more non-fixed items that you remove from a vehicle, even just a jack and spare tire, the quieter it becomes.

[@crazy12ish]

more like a 250,000+ truck

Deja Vu?

[@DavidHume-Educator]

Why don't you simply set up the parking brake so that it automatically disengages when the vehicle is put in gear?

[@timkebienda1809]

I like the combo. I think restored Fj60-62 should have a fj80 Chases.

What AMP steps did you use to mount on the 80 frame? I know they don't make them for 60's and 80's.

[@ThisFinalHandle]

Agree: Poor sound. Disagree: terrible race stripes.

[@jerrybushman]

seeing how you removed the other video, my comment has been deleted, I hope it wasn't because I pointed out an imperfection. The horizontal body lines down the side do not line up where the rear door meets the quarter panel......on both sides.....like the door is not square in the hole or the hole is out of square. It is not something you can unsee

[@abdullahal-salem8018]

Why don't you use the Toyota 3UR-FE engine with a TRD Eaton supercharger?

That rear overhang is huge, but probably ok for crawling mall parking lots.

[@shonuffisthemaster]

you had me untill you stuck a chevy v8 and an auto into it....they shouldnt have even sold landcruisers with automatic transmissions imo and anyone who swaps one in dosent understand the true spirit of a landcruiser. also as others have said the offset front wheel dosent look right. yet another example of a toy that looks cool and vintage but has lost its spirit and been nutered so some rich guy can spend way too much on it and drive it around the country club. i appreceate that you guys also restore them to stock, id stick with that or limit your mods to stuff that real toyot enthusiests would do.

[@gwlane5509]

shonuffisthemaster agree with most, but a chevy v8 are super cheap to maintain. Hate the strips, color, headlights and cheesy steering wheel, and off center wheel, but otherwise decent build. Who’s counting $ when trust funds are paying!!!

[@andrewbaird4559]

What exactly is the color?

[@TheCramunhao666]

[@acadianr2leger]

Is that the rainbow flag on the hood lmao 🌈🌈🌈

[@TotteNesh]

Nope. Old blanket design. It was mentioned in the video. And, that's not a rainbow...

[@brendanreary9142]

No. Hudson Bay Company four point blanket colors. Old fur trade branding, think late 1600’s. Owner is from Minnesota, which at that time was a major hub of fur trading activity with the HBC, and Northwestern Company prior to US Revolutionary War.

[@KarmaticEvolution]

Don’t feed the troll! heh

[@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr]

Questionable rainbow stripes mate

[@joey1335]

whitewarmaker If you watched the whole video the customer requested it because it’s associated with the Hudson Bay Company.
