Yep! Ima huge landcruiser fan. Ive worked fo landrover fo over 18mnths nd i realised that landrover is no competition watsoever to a cruiser. I had 2 cruisers maself, a 89 236turbo nd a 2003 4.2diesel. Im currently plannin on buyin a code3 80series stationwagon nd do sum nice conv to d 4.5 24v motor. I mite open a post on d project later. * +

i did some googling and my bosses is a 74 model ute, or 'pickup'. how are the newer models compared to the old school ones? no doubt theyd be better but i mean if you brought a brand new 4wd nowadays youd literally cry if you drove it out bush and got the paintwork scratched, * +

one of the reasons i want one is because a place i go fishing nearby is an absolute to get to, especially if youre driving a datsun 120 thats only 4 inches off the ground, whereas from what ive seen today the cruiser plows through deep mud puddles, flattens sand hills and takes dirt road divots like someone flicking away a fly. * +

the one i drove is in perfect condition for its age, he bought it for 15 grand in 1992, and its a good investment seeing that it keeps its value and runs fine no matter what. ideally, id like to get one for at least 7 grand but ill do some research first * +

D old landcruisers was tuf as nails like d wills jeep nd datsun patrol. Only dwnside is ther riding comfort. D newer 70series landcruiser has coilspring suspention nd betr roadholding. Wat has ur boss got, petrol or diesel? D diesels is d H nd 2H.. Their diehard bt slow. D gasoline version is d 2Fcarb nd pulls like a train. D 80series im interested in 24v motor is based on d old 2F str8 6 motor. * +
