1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Art Carr Shifter
The interior is both business and bling. A variety of Autometer gauges display vital signs above the Lowrance GPS unit. An Alpine stereo provides trail tunes and an Art Carr shifter changes cogs in the auto tranny. The steering wheel is from Flaming River and the gray upholstered door panels were accented with flames in relief.

1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Custom Upholstered Suspension Seats
Suspension seats were custom upholstered to match the silver and blue paint scheme and Mastercraft harnesses hold riders tight. A nice touch is the band of black bedliner material that was applied along the top edge of the doors and tub to protect it from scratches and wear.

A fifth BFGoodrich Krawler is mounted on the back of the Cruiser using a Randy Ellis Design tire carrier along with a Hella lamp used for night backup lighting. Brad took the beadlock rings and had them powdercoated to match the other aluminum parts in the cab.

1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Heatercraft Heater
For cooler days in the Cruiser, a Heatercraft heater was utilized. It was cannibalized and the shop rebuilt the components to fit under the dash with vents that exit on each side of the center console. Note the twin red top Optimas mounted under the passenger seat. Brad uses a marine dual battery switch mounted in the rear of the console to switch between the two batteries as needed.

1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Custom Rear Bench Seat
Rear passengers can come along for a ride in a matching bench seat. Pulling a couple of pins releases the bench and makes room for a drop in gear/cooler rack to add a little more useful cargo space. A 10-pound Powertank provides on-board air duty for tire needs.

We found Brad competing in an informal desert rally where he had the chance to try his backroads navigation skills and let the Corvette motor stretch its legs.
