{"product_id":"1997-toyota-bandeirante-crew-cab","title":"1997 Toyota Bandeirante Crew Cab — Four-Door Custom Build","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe four-door Bandeirante is the rarest and most useful shape in the entire Brazilian Land Cruiser family — a full crew cab with four real doors and a steel bed behind it. Toyota do Brasil built them in small numbers for working fleets, not collectors, which is exactly why finding a straight one is so difficult. This is a frame-off build of a 1997 BJ55LP crew cab, finished in deep forest green over a black-out wheel and bumper package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Brazil, raised in the USA. The truck is stripped to the last bolt in our Brazilian shop, restored there, and then shipped to Savannah and trucked up to Atlanta where our team installs the final exterior upgrades and delivers it on a Georgia title with full import documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStage 1 — Full frame-off restoration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete disassembly, then a chassis revision for cracks and weak spots before a full sandblast, primer and paint with an anti-corrosion additive. Drivetrain and suspension are rebuilt and refreshed, leaf springs restored, and a custom shackle set gives roughly three inches of lift. Hardware is replaced or restored and re-anodized where parts allow. Every bushing, seal, gasket and weather strip is new — drivetrain, chassis, body and cabin — along with all new glass, window regulators, latches, knobs and locks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStage 2 — Custom interior\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull interior in vinyl or leather, in a color of your choosing from our selection.
