1995 TLC4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 restomod
Joe commissioned a ride to add to his classic car collection called the 1995 TLC4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 restomod. The Land Cruiser 80S series were available from ’91 to ’97, the most advanced models produced 1995-1997. These models came with 4 wheel ABS brakes, full floating rear differential, the most latter bars and rigid chassis, factory locking differentials, and swiveling cup holders.
As the 80’s get older in age, you start to notice more folks wanting to keep their beloved trucks, however they’re getting expensive to maintain and are looking to do a complete overhaul- enter Joe Rogan. He hires Jonathan to do a stage 3 restoration which entails purchasing a beater of a car, tearing it down to the nuts and bolts, making sure every new part fits, finding out what doesn’t, and then completely disassembling it again.
Once the car is disassembled to the raw frame, they powder coat it, brand new welding, stainless steel hardware, and begin assembling it from the ground up. Along with a new 5.0L V8, the car was equipped with brand new everything from plastic, to weather stripping, emblems and Nitrogen fused Fox Racing suspension. This next car we see Joe’s love for the Porsche shine through.. however in true Rogan fashion, this is no ordinary Porsche..
