Strap in, we're sitting down with Billy McKinnon from McKinnon Cruisers, a 4WD fabrication expert based in Tamborine, Queensland. Billy is known for his high-quality conversions of classic Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series bodies onto modern 80 Series chassis, combining old-school looks with new-school capability. We chat about what goes into a full 40-to-80 Series chassis swap, including coil chassis conversions, engine mounts, custom winch bars, body mount kits, and more. Billy also takes us through his own builds, including a short-wheelbase FJ40 running a cut-down 80 Series chassis, supercharged V8, coil suspension and bar work — all engineered and road-legal. He shares how McKinnon Cruisers grew from a passion project into a full-time business offering fabrication kits and custom parts made right here in Australia. Whether you're into classic LandCruisers, chasing a tougher touring setup or just keen on seeing how far a 40 Series can be pushed, this one’s packed with insight.
