Allers Rods & Customs is a South African shop that knows their way around street rods, hot rods and muscle cars. And while we like a lot of their projects, we’re absolutely in love with this 1976 Land Cruiser FJ 40 hot rod. To be fair, it’s pretty hard to screw up a late ’70s Land Cruiser, but Allers has taken the platform to a whole new level by rat rodding it. Built for the South African backcountry, this beast includes an in-house front suspension, widened wheels and diff from a Land Rover Discovery, seats from a Wrangler, Lexus radio, Momo steering wheel, roll cage and the list goes on. The end result is a ride that’s equal part hot rod and Land Cruiser while also being completely custom and absolutely different.
