Hello, i´ve been reading this wonderful site for a few months now and bought my first ever Toyota a month back, so i thought to make a thread about it, so, here it is.
So, me and my dad have been looking for a good car (four wheel drive) to go hunting or camping or whatever.. and we decided to look in to Land cruisers, HJ60 or a 61. But first we had to sell our second car which was not that good for hunting/camping purpose (MB w211), sadly it took something like.. 8 months or so. Well, it finally sold and we went looking for one LC that was pretty close to us, approx 300km´s/side and after a short test drive and walk around.. we decided to bring it home.
Driving it back to home was one experience, since it has Boggers under it.. drives so damn smoothly on pavement.. or not. But.. i bet you are more interested in the toyota than my stories
The facts;
- 1990 HJ61 12h-t.
- Almost 640 000 Km´s on odometer.
- OME 2" lift on front, 3" lift on rear plus 2,5" body lift. (still too low for my taste)
- 33"/12.5"/15" TSL Boggers.
- Toyota PTO winch. (leaks oil)
- Double passenger seat.
- Intercooled, approx. 200 whp @1.5bar boost.
- Straight 3" stainless side pipe, no mufflers. (sounds awesome)
- Home made roof rack with a good load of led lights.
- Factory front and read cable diff lockers.
- Factory wheel arch fenders.
- Ugly paint job, paint comes off, might repaint the whole thing.
And some pics..
I´ll post more pics later, only have those crappy quality ones at the moment.
Then the roof rack "project", bought some new leds, one for each corner and new wire.
Ex owner decided to use speaker cable...
...so i bought some proper cable + leds.
And the front-end.
All leds in place.
Welded light covers, and put a pair of high-beams also.
Read-end.
And finished product. All i need is spare tire up there, right?
Took it for a short drive in the woods.
Well, there is what i have done so far, more to come if people is interested in.
Im not sure does the pictures work or not.. at least i can see ´em.
Excuse my "limited" english knowledge, feel free to correct my mistakes.
