This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45L quad-cab has a 120-inch
wheelbase and was custom-built by Larry Griffey's Hot Rods and
Restorations in Knoxville, TN. It is powered by a new crate GM Ram
Jet 350ci fuel-injected high-torque marine engine paired with a
custom-built performance 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission. The
transmission has an Atlas billet aluminum transfer case and an
HPC-coated 2.5-inch exhaust system. It is also equipped with a Ron
Davis custom-built aluminum radiator, electric fans and shroud.
This custom build began with an all-aluminum body and fenders from
Aqualu Industries and the chassis has 2x4.25-inch wall mandrel-bent
frame rails and Grade 8 chassis fasteners. This custom Land Cruiser
features built long arms with ballistic fabrication joints and a
fabricated hydraulic Ram cantilever system that raises the entire
suspension 4 inches for off-road use. It is equipped with a
performance power steering box. This vehicle rides on Fox off-road
racing shocks with remote reservoirs and coilover springs with
retention straps to stop over-articulation of the chassis. It is
equipped with air lockers, as well as Dynatrac front and rear axles
with Ford F-250 power disc brakes. The right frame rail is a
full-length air storage tank with an onboard air compressor and
quick disconnects for air tools. The frame and chassis parts, as
well as the custom-built bumpers and spare tire support, are
powder-coated. The front bumper features a WARN winch and has
custom-built aluminum running boards with steps below a 2.5-inch
addition to the height of the doors for a better appearance. The
windshield and frame were shortened to 1.5 inches for better
balance, and it has an original steel FJ hood and grille, with all
body fasteners brushed stainless steel. Interior features include
Classic instruments aircraft gauges, a Vintage Air system, a tilt
steering column and a Billet Specialties steering wheel. The sound
system has six speakers and a subwoofer. The interior also features
