Also interested in buying old Cruisers if you come across any cheapies for sale.

Can't keep a Cruiser down. :) If you are ever chasing parts let me know. I live in Geraldton and have 5x HJ75's I am dismantling to sell parts at the moment. Got a mate who works at Wiluna on a 3 on 1 off roster and could always take some parts out your way. Great photo's. I dont get out that...

Custom aluminium roof console in one of the Cruisers with speaker holes and movable lights. This one was mounted at the rear of the cab. I am 6 foot 6 so no way I could use it.

Fibreglass roof on one of the cruisers. Complete with running lights and a spotlight mount.

Interesting modification I found on one of the landcruisers. The bush on the wiper motor is a common failure point and so the previous owner of this car has braised a ball joint onto the end of the control rod so it will never fail again.

Bonnet fitted.

Bonnet (Hood in the USA) painted and fitted. I have trial fitted the bullbar and will remove it and get it blasted and painted (Black) tomorrow. Suspension bushes, rear shocks and steering damper replaced. Windscreen fitted. Tray sides have been blasted and painted. I have 2x sets of 15x8...

This one I picked up yesterday. 1985 HJ75. Still licensed (believe it or not), but incredibly rusty. I am the second owner. The original owner bought it new and had a friend who is a boatbuilder build the tray and bullbar. It's made out of some seriously heavy gauge aluminium. It's currently...

I picked up another couple of Landcruisers. First one is a 1988 HJ75 with Styleside tub. I used the bullbar off this one on my build and it had an ashtray in it. Out of the 5x 75 series I now own I have 2x ashtrays and only one of those has the metal retaining plate. Second Landcruiser is a...

I rewired the headlights so they now have a relay for high and low fitted so I can run 6mm wire from the battery to the headlight globes which makes the lights much brighter. New 9"x3" aircleaner fitted to help the 3F breathe a bit better. The carb is a 500 Holley 2 barrel which was fitted...

The headlights and grill refitted to the Cruiser and the quarter panel painted: Headlights and grill fitted by 86FJ75 posted Nov 10, 2015 at 2:18 AM

The front right hand quarter panel was missing and the right hand door was removed to do this so I replaced the panel with one from the donor car and refitted the door: Quarter panel and door fitted by 86FJ75 posted Nov 10, 2015 at 2:18 AM

The dashboard was missing from the Cruiser so I removed the dash from the donor car and painted it satin black and refitted it to the project car: Dash painted by 86FJ75 posted Nov 10, 2015 at 2:18 AM Passenger seat was also missing and luckily the donor car had a seat in good condition...

First thing I had to do was swap diffs. The previous owner had attempted to rebuild the differential with new bearings, but had left out a pinion spacer and munched the crown and pinion. Diff removed from vehicle: Diff Swap by 86FJ75 posted Nov 10, 2015 at 2:18 AM Diff from donor car...

Well after much consideration I have decided to repair the second 75 series Ute I own. The one pictured above had a lot of body rust and the engine was down on compression quite badly on 3 cylinders. The other one I have has 213,00km's (132,000 miles roughly) on the clock and the engine runs fine.
