At first glance, there's an undeniable simplicity exuded by Gehn Fujii's HJ60 Land Cruiser. From front to back, it relies on its core character to make a statement, leaving "staple" mods behind in fa...
Another day. A new day. We made the descent from camp, pulling off and over into a turnout to pop our hoods and air up our tires: we had some driving ahead of us, and for the first time in a while, w...
It was, undoubtedly, the coldest night of the trip, although at just shy of 11,000 feet, with small patches of snow still on the ground, that doesn't quite come as a surprise. The clearing we had fou...
We awoke on Friday morning, perched on a mountainside at roughly 9,000ft of altitude. For me and Jim Bob, it was technically the start of Day 3, but for most of the gang, the trip was just beginning....
With the hot rod build and the rush of SEMA, it's been months since I was able to hit the trails and put my Land Cruiser to work. On top of that, a failed transfer case from mid-summer left the truck...

In the days leading up to the famous Monterey Car Week, we took our Land Cruisers up for some trail fun in Big Bear, CA, to escape the heat. With our project FJ60 complete, Jeremy Whittle's FJ62 tune...
It's been almost six months since I purchased my FJ60, following an accident that rendered my FJ62 Land Cruiser a total loss. I purchased this particular FJ60, bone stock, for two reasons: it's compl...
For better or worse, it seems we're always adding to the StanceWorks fleet of vehicles, which now overflows from the shop out into the parking lot, and we presume one of these days our landlord will ...
Truth be told, I'm impressed we managed to post a Daily Grind piece without adding a new vehicle to the fleet. It was our first in a long, long time - Andrew's Project Mini update - but the reality i...
It's been several months since our last off-road excursion, with most of our attention focused on preparing Rusty Slammington for SEMA and the Essen Motor Show. However, we made a promise to ourselve...
