What do a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 and a Porsche 911 have in common? Not much. Nevertheless, North Carolina-based Land Cruiser restorer TLC4x4 has just finished work on a special FJ62 which takes inspiration from a classic 911.
Extensive work has been done on the exterior of the car, including a Porsche-inspired Agate Grey repaint, new front fender vents, rear three-quarter vents, and a set of rock sliders, should anyone wish to take this pristine Toyota off the beaten path.
TLC4x4 has also equipped the capable off-roader with new LED lights and a set of 17-inch Method wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
A handful of other elements inspired by the most iconic of all Porsches are also found throughout the cabin. These include new seats clad in Relicate Leather with Houndstooth inserts, just like some classic 911s. TLC4x4’s interior upgrades include a new headliner for the Land Cruiser, bespoke gauges, and a large JVC infotainment screen in the center of the dashboard. A set of Kicker KS Series speakers and a powerful subwoofer are also featured.

Under the hood, the stock powertrain gave way to a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated LS3 V8 mated to a 6L80 transmission, followed by a 3-inch stainless steel exhaust with catalytic converters and Magnaflow mufflers. The Toyota’s regular brakes were not up to the task anymore so they’ve been replaced with new DBA rotors and pads.
Rounding out the upgrades include OME springs, Fox Racing shocks, and powder coating across the chassis, frame, and axles. A stainless steel fuel tank has also been installed.
