For sale: The ultimate custom-built 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser, nicknamed "Godzilla," designed from the ground up to dominate any terrain. With a 112” wheelbase, 94" width and a no-compromise build, this beast is in a league of its own—far surpassing most Jeep conversions in capability and raw power.

Specs & Features:

*Tires & Wheels: 44” Super Swamper tires mounted on MSR bead-lock rims. Includes a full-sized spare and a set of smaller tires for easy access to a 7’ garage.
*Axles: 6.72:1 Rockwell 2.5-ton axles with Detroit lockers and shaved axle housings for maximum clearance.
*Steering: Hydraulic front and rear steering for precision control.
*Suspension: Four-link setup with 17” Bilstein coil-overs for unbeatable articulation.
*Winches: Warn HS9500i (front) and Warn XD9000i (rear) for getting out of any jam.
*Engine: GMC 350 stroked to 383, gear-driven camshaft, fuel-injected, with ceramic headers and a custom 3” exhaust. Paired with a 1000 HP Be-Cool aluminum radiator w/ dual fans and a fan-cooled oil cooler.
*Transmission: SM465 manual transmission with a beefed-up 4.3:1 Atlas 2 transfer case.
*Drivetrain: Arizona 1410 drivelines for unrelenting durability.
*Fuel: 15-gallon aluminum fuel cell.
*Frame & Body: Full frame powder-coated for toughness. All body panels (except hood) are lightweight aluminum, also powder-coated. Stainless steel bolts and locknuts throughout.
*Extras: High Lift jack, scuba air tank, locking toolbox, Phantom Auto Meter gauges, CB radio, and Painless wire harness.

Why It Stands Out:
This isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a purpose-built rock crawling titan. Every component has been meticulously chosen and upgraded to deliver limitless off-road potential. Whether you’re tackling boulders, mud, or steep inclines, Godzilla will leave others in the dust.

Important Notes:
Registration: This Land Cruiser will not pass California smog. Register it out-of-state for street use or keep it as an off-road-only monster in California.
Condition: Built for performance, not pavement. Ready to crawl right out of the gate.
