FJ80-series Land Cruiser with the Lexus treatment. It has spiraled from a beach cruiser to a daily driver, the plans of which was interrupted by an unforeseen headgasket issue. It went down the rabbit hole of a full engine and suspension rebuild, and will now hopefully be set for another 250,000 miles.
