Oh Yeah I can't forget Blackie, but I do owe some people on here parts and they have been waiting a long time so blackie will live on through other 70 series cruisers. I will take shots of the carnage starting this weekend.

Hey aussie75series, how does the coil suspension on the 78 work compared to the HJ75 leafs?
You work in that? I'm jealous ![]() Dave |

Sorry about the late reply but it was a long weekend and I went bush.As said a stock 4wd will handle Fraser with deflated tyres and not overloaded in fact people tow 20' boats up the beach.It is a hard comparison with the coil and leaf of the two vehicles.The Ambulance has stock suspension which is heavily loaded and my vehicle has after market suspension designed for the job but I don't mind the coil and can see them benifit.No lockers just a slippery diff anyway you can't get to keen in an ambulance,the patients get grumpy when their broken bits hit the side of the car.You know whats better than driving one of these?Being a 4wd instructor for the company.One day in the bush,one day on the beach and sand dunes ,one day off,bush ,beach weekend. Life is tough.Sadly this dose'nt happen all the time.PIC of me at work just before BBQ lunch and after teach snatch strap recovery

Aussie75series: DROOL! That is a beautiful sight.
![]() Eric W.: You can still order an OEM snorkel from offshore Toyota dealers that offer them as options in their Land Cruisers. Japan and Australia would be a good bets. Greg B. has an OEM snorkel on his BJ74 that I helped install. You would also need the OEM snorkel airbox with it since there is no adapter flange to hook up the snorkel to the original airbox like the one provided by other manufacturers like Safari. The OEM snorkel airbox has the intake port pointed towards the fender that would mate with the snorkel. Overall cost: $$$! The snorkel and airbox cost a lot of money (I would guess double the Safari Snorkel since there's two pieces to buy instead of one). __________________ Stone's Land Cruiser & Flyfishing Pics Flyfishing British Columbia: www.flyfishbc.com bcfishingreports.com |

I love Todd's truck. That's what mine looks like when I close my eyes...
Is it still running a 2" body lift and has he sidehilled it yet?! BJ70/85 - nice bumper! __________________ norm '85 BJ70 "Kleine Sheisse-wagen" '89 BJ74 "Mittleres Sortiertes Glänzendes Wagen"? |

Yup, body lift and OMEs. Works good with the 36" rubber. This go around, its losing its roof (already has) and getting a bit wider. Sidehills? well there's a reason all the pictures are of the driver's side ![]() I'll snap a pic of the Jack-All mounting Wesintl. It's just a couple of wheel studs welded to the bumper uprights. __________________ Rocky Mountain Land Cruiser Association TLCA # 5513 '87BJ74, '86BJ70, '78FJ45, '53M100, '90M101cdn I support our Troopies |
