North Carolina Toyota Land Cruiser specialist TLC 4×4 has released a brand new restomod that fuses different Land Cruiser generations into one capable off-roader.
The 1989 FJ142 Land Cruiser maintains the variety of a Eighties Land Cruiser with the body from the FJ62 model sold during that decade. But that body sits on the frame from a later FZJ80 Land Cruiser from the Nineties—with additional modern updates.

Further exterior changes include LED headlights, a brand new front bumper, rear bumper with tire carrier, front fender and rear quarter vents, a Warn winch, and automatic side steps. The FJ142 rolls on 33-inch Kenda Klever R/T tires.
This can also be a real restomod, with modern powertrain and chassis components. A General Motors LS3 V-8 crate motor breathes through a brand new chrome steel exhaust system, and the suspension system was upgraded with Fox shocks and recent springs and sway bars.

The inside features leather trim, including on the steering wheel, grab handles, and center console. Additional sound insulation was added as well, together with recent gauges, interior lighting, and a contemporary head unit that comes with a rearview camera feed and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
TLC 4×4 builds like this one start at $250,000. The worth likely varies based on the specifications of individual builds, but it surely puts TLC in the identical ballpark as fellow Land Cruiser restomod firm Icon. While it lacks the vintage aesthetic of those vehicles, the brand new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser also offers similar capability and feels as compared like a bargain at a price of $57,445 with destination.
