So far I have:

Project 80

Project FJ80

Project White Whale

Project White Rhino

Project White Ele phant

O peration White *animal name*

I’m not very creative. It looks like this but not quite as clean.

I don’t know why “Project Doom Wagon” came to mind... but it did.  I like White Whale.  Lots of fun word play and reference opportunities.

Well it’s big, heavy, and white so I figured a white whale was a good animal. The FJ55 was the Iron Pig so keeping with the animal spirit .

you want to name your project after a fictional whale that drove the pursuer mad and eventually led them to their death?

There is a nice  vibe of death and futility that goes with the white whale name. But then, which one of you is Ahab?

I was thinking something along the lines of 2easy because that kinda sounds like 2uz but I’ve really got nothing. I however do second calling it Lando.

Soooo were not doing the 2UZ swap in this one... My dad doesn’t want to deal with that in this project... It might be making a comeback in something we have/have had for a long time.

Not helpful: I affectionately call my Lexus-spec FZJ80 the “Four-and-a-Half” after the Notorious BIG’s “Hypnotize”

Is this technically a FZJ80 ? Or does FJ80 work even though it does have the 1FZ?

Technically, Its what the chassis stamp says it is. (On the frame rail behind the front passenger wheel.) Off the record its whatever your heart desires.  The difference between the FJ80 and FZJ80 was more than engine though.  Different rear axle, different brakes, different wheels, etc.

I will be exploring the chassis stamp when we go to clean it up tomorrow.

Just a replacement 6. 2UZ will be saved for the FJ40. My dad didn’t want to deal with all of the J80  body modules on the 80 when putting the new power train in

Land Cruiser Asama

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cruiser_Asama

I got stuck on nautical themes because of the OP. Probably have to be careful with naming a land cruiser after a Japanese cruiser, for historically sensitive reasons.

Everyone else gets the cool and or easy customer refusals. So far all I’ve gotten was an MKIV Jetta that had the head completely melted. I gave up and cut my losses.

Good luck with Project White Rhino, though. Drive it out to LA when you’re done and test it at our malls lol.

So far my dad has gotten a 2005 Sequoia, 2003 Camry LE, FZJ80, RX400h(w/350 k  Miles on original battery) and a ‘02 ES330. All have been put back into the customer loaner fleet except the FJ of course

Their shops main competitor is the actual  Lexus dealer so they have to do a bit more than most.

That’s probably no easy task considering Lexus is known for focussing on kissing the customer’s ass.

The dealer experience isn’t complete unless they have a receptionist answering the phone with the following, “Thank you for calling so and so dealer. How may I direct your call?” me: parts please. “It will be my pleasure to transfer you.” Yeah, right. I actually caught one girl at the local Mercedes going normal with me in earshot. She also stopped the fake polite voice after a few visits there after I saw her out in public at a bar being a normal person.

But the clincher for the dealer experience is to offer ANYONE that walks through the door a water, cappuccino, or other “beverage.”

You may tell from my tone I don't like going to dealers. I prefer to be treated like a regular person and not have my ass kissed.

That’s good news. It means you'll have working brakes. Plus a ff rear axle.
