Description

On this episode, Chris and Austin chat about transforming mundane classic Toyota Land Cruisers into investment quality restored and rowdy, yet comfortable and refined, LS swapped FJs.  They also discuss how a Land Cruiser obsessed former boss and business trips to South America evolved into Black Dog Traders, a premier Land Cruiser restoration shop.Black Dogs' evolution began years ago as a small Father/Son team buying/selling Toyota Land Cruisers of all makes and models.  They spent so much time driving & repairing them that we eventually began to restore them from the ground up.This evolution brought Black Dog Traders to the point they are at now.  Their vehicles are constructed of brand new parts to much higher specifications and tolerances than the factory ever intended.  Some prefer the old hum of an original 125hp 2F motor, they prefer more power, fuel efficiency and comfort.Follow the podcast on Instagram and Facebook @classic4x4_trucks, check out our website at classic4x4.com and reach out if we can help you sell your classic, custom or collector truck or 4x4.
