In this Larry Chen feature, we delve into the world of a custom Toyota FJ28 that's a glorious mix of vintage charm and modern muscle. This beast combines the iconic FJ28 body with the guts of a last-gen Toyota Tacoma drivetrain, resulting in a machine that's as unique as it is powerful. The attention to detail is staggering, from the custom frame to the 3.5L Magnuson supercharger that gives this FJ28 its roar.
What sets this build apart is the meticulous craftsmanship evident in every inch of the vehicle. From the aluminum body sourced from Aqualu to the custom-built top and doors, every element has been carefully considered and expertly executed. The front clip from an FJ25 and the rear bumper housing blind spot monitors showcase the fusion of classic design with modern technology.
Under the hood, things get even more intriguing with a unique steering setup and a complex front axle assembly that integrates Toyota speed sensors seamlessly. The suspension setup, featuring a custom parallel four-link design with Billstein coilovers, promises a thrilling ride both on and off-road. The interior is a blend of 2018 Tacoma components, including a narrowed dash and functional glove box, all tied together with the latest in 3D printing technology.
Overall, this custom Toyota FJ28 is a testament to the passion and dedication of its builders, resulting in a vehicle that not only looks stunning but also delivers on performance. Larry Chen's exploration of this project showcases the perfect marriage of vintage aesthetics and modern engineering, making it a true standout in the world of custom builds.
