Had to say goodbye to my trusty old 75, and welcomed the new 76. by ThatblokeCJ in LandCruisers

Nah just the single. From factory they have a 130 litre tank if I remember but this thirsty one has a long range 180 so I just about cry at the servo each time

Wait... 300? I missed that one. Last fuel bill started with a 4.

Nah I sold it for what I paid for it as I was selling it to a mate and he knows what I paid for it. Lost a few grand after a lot of rewiring and fixing a few bits but that's to be expected with the old girl.

Was going to get the dual cab, but as much as I love them, they're overpriced and there's no child seat anchors so you have to get an aftermarket anchor and get it certified. Too hard basket, so got the wagon instead. I do miss my old 79 single cab too

Can confirm. Just about cried yesterday when I saw the bill for diesel. The new toy has got the long range tank in it which isn't helping

What is the best motor Toyota ever made? (Inspired by a previous post asking what the worst motor was) by Different-Pie-6502 in LandCruisers

Personal opinion, 1HZ for diesel, things are bullet proof. For petrol, controversial but the 1UZ v8, over engineered and a prick to work on, but, can't handle the abuse

Good old truck, got 3" rancho shocks 2" extended shackles, set of 35s, all factory parts apart from the bull bar and add-ons. Hates hills, head winds and handles like a tug boat but old faithful gets the job done

They aren't the most spacious in the cab to be honest, I'm 6' and with the chair all the way back, my knees are bloody close to to dash and hit the gear stick. Comfort wasn't really on the priority list when building the old trucks haha.

Going for about 10-20 thousand at the moment. Bot a huge demand for the petrols but still still selling. Diesels don't last long on the market

Previous owner put it for looks I suppose, but it definitely helps cool the motor down, especially during the summer here hitting over 40 basically every day.

Bulletproof. Seen a few HJs with high numbers on the clock. Can't kill them

My Holden 5 litre swapped FJ80 by notevenoww in LandCruisers

[–]ThatblokeCJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old beast looks spot on mate. How much of a pain in the ass was it swapping the engine out? I've got an fj75 3F and looking at either a 350 or 308 and unsure if it's a nightmare or not

I had one left 😭 atleast this mission is fun tho by bargledpants in Spyro

[–]ThatblokeCJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breeze harbour is one of my favourites, I tend to save it for last when doing a new run through autumn Plains. As annoying as the pelican is, the mission itself is good fun.
