A Land Cruiser restomod with an LS heart

This custom 1989 Toyota FJ62 Land Cruiser restomod runs a 5.3L LS V8 with a 4L60E automatic. Tan paint, black wheels, all-terrain tires and Old Man Emu suspension keep its vintage Land Cruiser styling pointed at adventure.

A Race Against Blindness describes the build as a Toyota legend reimagined, with classic Land Cruiser styling and modern upgrades, professionally restored and upgraded by Land Cruiser Restorations. The premise is easy to like: vintage wagon looks over a modern LS powertrain.

Beyond the drivetrain, the page lists Old Man Emu suspension upgrades, custom tan exterior paint, upgraded black wheels with all-terrain tires, a roof rack and other exterior adventure accessories. The interior is described as refreshed, with modernized technology and comfort. These are the campaign descriptions of the prize; no mileage or build sheet is quoted here.

If you win: the rules offer a $100,000 cash alternative to the vehicle plus $25,000 cash, and give the package an approximate retail value of $125,000. The winner must travel to Gilbert, Arizona, within 14 days of prize acceptance to take possession; the rules say airfare for one person and one hotel night are covered. Title, license, insurance, registration fees and taxes fall to the winner. Odds depend on the number of eligible entries, which the rules do not state, so confirm the arrangements first.

Prize details are as described by the sponsor and its official rules. WTW has not inspected or driven the vehicle.
