If she was impressed by a Chevy nova imagine what a Landcruiser could do , she’d have been over on her back like an old girl in the snow .. Talking about Landcruisers I see one for sale in the States recently , one owner , eighty series , 4.2td , 24valve manual 1994 , with just a thousand miles on the clock …$133,000 .... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,395 Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 You just dropped a fan belt all the other problems occurred because you had no fan belt, the issue was you never recognised the symptoms, I drive old motors all the time keep the fluids clean and topped up and learn to recognise what it means when your dash starts lighting up like Christmas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah for the price of a land cruiser I could probably get 2-3 new trucks off the lot then not feel bad about dinging the thing up not to mention land cruisers arnt really viewed........well how can I say this well you pull up to the farm or deer camp in one eghhhhhh Nissans and Toyotas are my hands down favorites. Especially the little hard bodies. Getting to be a pain trying to find one under $3000 now since every dog hunter buys em Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Getting to be a pain trying to find one under $3000 now since every dog hunter buys em ..and you’d wear out the three new trucks , the Toyota landcruiser would still be going strong ..we was out this weekend up in the Spanish hills in this one , 94 , 389000miles , same engine 4.2 td ..had a second repaint a year ago ..my brother turned down £18,000 ($24,000) ..it has got the kings suspension on it though .. There’s a big market in the states at the moment for the old 80series especially the ones built between 94&97 , they have the three diff locks , solid axle , and manual gearbox ( as above ) , the serious off roaders are buying them for rebuilding .The Aussies have nothing but Toyota . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
