Description:

I'm finding that I have little time to enjoy the G55 as intended and built....

Quick history - this is my second G, after 16 Landcruisers of all flavors..... the first G was a 13' G63 - amazing motor, but limited in offroad capabilities due to all the intercoolers etc... Sadly, it was totalled out in a rear-end accident, but saved my wife's life in the process.

So we looked for the cleanest G55 we could find.... rust is an issue as most G enthusiasts know.... we looked over at least a dozen before landing on one in Texas that was super clean, ran great and was the color we wanted....

As it turns out - the motor ran really well, but the tranny had issues..... we took it over to Eurocharged in Austin to let Dave and Adam work their magic base-lining it.... they quickly advised the tranny needed a rebuild and suggested Southern Hotrod (https://southernhotrod.com/war-viking-m ... edes-benz/), as they could build it up to handle some extra power - and while in there they'd baseline the whole motor, rebuilt the Sc'er and replace almost all hoses, belts and accessories - new starter, alt, power steering pump, brake booster and master etc...

2 months later and a large check, they had her running like a top ( 94k -ish miles on her then) and put their ECU /TCU tunes on as well... they also removed the speed limiter.... verified while on a "track"... and as a side note, It will break 125mph and actually felt really stable, despite the amazing wind noise....

I had a pile of parts from Jackwagon, Eurowise and rims/ tires waiting and the build began.... and I then dropped it off at Eurowise in Charlotte to have them install a ton of their items and fine-tune the lift....

Current setup:

Jackwagon progressive 4" springs - super smooth, yet ride and handle excellently
Koni Red adjustable shocks and Eurowise extenders
Eurowise front and Rear Panhard bars and new tie rod ends
Eurowise front Swaybar drop links and new bushings
Eurowise Extended brake and locker lines
Eurowise rear shock guards
Eurowise 4" front radius control arms and bushings
Eurowise front Dual Cardan Driveshaft
Eurowise Driveshaft drop bracket
Fox steering stabilizer and bracket - new spare will come with as well
Eurowise catback sport exhaust ( stainless) - amazing sound....
AFN front Bumper w/ Warn 12k Synthetic Winch ( not currently connected - was debating an ARB front bumper)
trio of Baja Design LP6's and Squad pro yellow fogs and Rigid DRL's in custom mount
AFN rear Bumper w/ swing-out arm for true full-size spare ( will take up to 40")
Black Rhino custom-built Atlas rims 1x9 et 0 w/ 325/70/19 Toyo AT3's - same size spare, unlike OEM
Gobi roof rack and Rear Ladder
Light controller mounted in front of Ash Tray - up to 8 light sets
Interior is super clean and kid, smoking and pet free ( we have an FJ80 and Van that do dog duty) and the subwoofer has been replaced with the correct spec Kicker.

Currently at 127K - running perfectly, recently serviced with Stealership for AC recharge, fluids and fresh battery - and ready to go anywhere.... located in Norfolk, VA area......

happy to send specific pics or chat about it..... asking $ 66k - she will come with some spare parts, expo stuff - and hoping to finish off the Fridge slide mount on the waterjet this next week finally !
