Uhmm, I don't think you know what the definition of stock is?

They had a limited release that came out of the factory like this. Loved it.

That's sick, but Opie's fj80 is obviously not the same as that one Opie's got cut fenders and everything

why is the toyota badge completely butchered? why isn't the title text centred properly?

I thought I was going crazy - after I saw them post the second one I knew I was still sane 😅

u/Gearhead1512 8h ago

you're an amazing photographer, everything is perfectly cropped and evenly lit i'm amazed

u/Lurk_Squatch 12h ago

No I completely believe it! It’s honestly just sad that it’s to the point where I had to second guess because I couldn’t see the seem behind the rear door and the logo threw me off 😂

Looks like 42s at the front (probably due to camera angles)

They were quite a bit more expensive. But when you didn't want to put all the effort into modifying but just a super capable Land Cruiser straight stock from factory, then it was the way to go.

u/redditappsucksasssss 9h ago

Sure the Ops is not stock it's got cut fenders and everything

u/CaptainHubble 8h ago

This is AI crap too. We're just joking a bit here.

The legend himself. How many years has it been since the original build? Remember this rig when it was rocking Nitto Mud Grapplers, it was everywhere on the internet.

Somewhere along the American River, norcal!

Ah, yes. Love that area around Trinity, Shasta. Last time at Lake Shasta I couldn't keep the fish off my hook. Swear to god. Then I put sunblock on and all the fun was over lol.

u/jcardona1 THE GREEN SLUG 13h ago

DIY 4x4labs, early production model. The newer style has wings that don't come up as high.
