My OE died last summer right after coming home from a road trip. It had about 205K miles on it. I tried to order Denso online, kept getting delayed. Finally cancelled and ordered a Delphi.
We are super happy with this kit.
The truck sits at a very nice level with stock tire size and it rides very nice with new suspension components.
Some slight changes need to happen with later 60 and 62 vehicles in the rear; spoke with...
Bikes took me from chain smoking 1pack a day and weighing 220lbs to 145 and no smoking. True story.
The calculus has worked out well for long term viability.
Gonna have to see if I can live with the shiny primer. It shows a lot of metalworking sins, but I need to be blocking down a different car while I drive this one. So I put it back together.
Swapped over the early 14s.
73 bumpers on both ends took...
Hadn't driven the 60 since last Nov (I leave it on a trickle charger) and since today was a nice day, I though I take off the cover and drive around for a bit. Drove very well for about 20 mins, then all of a sudden, truck just stumbles and...
Running, Driving, Ready to use LHD Project Troopy. I titled it as a project because there are plenty of areas that it could use more love, but in its current state can be used. Shows approximately 271K KM's and has factory lockers. Has the 1HZ...
You'll get 47 opinions but here's few thoughts:
IMHO the price is high for the year (pre-95).
How's the paint condition, peeling clear coat, body damage?
How's the interior, leather ripped, steering wheel need recovering, plastic or dash...
In the '80 series, I have seen more radiators fail than I have PHHs. I have seen more fuel pumps fail. I have seen more head gaskets fail. I have seen more alternators fail. I have seen more oil pump seals fail. I have seen more fan clutches...
I still like the idea of a coil pack 1FZ-FE 5 speed
I like diesels but every time I get behind one on the trail it’s awful and if I take the top off I don’t want to listen to it.
I don’t know the numbers but I think the coil pack 1FZ-FE would...
Interesting. So basically it remains too big.
An 80 is plenty large, arguably a bit too much IMO. Without a long inline 6 engine you’d think the overall length wouldn’t need to be as much for a comfortable cabin size.
Clearly the days of a...
Final. This was +\- $65,000 spent this summer or less than 3000 miles ago.
Add that to a very clean, nicely painted 60 you are basically getting the truck for free
Dream build 60 Series, far easier than arranging the resources to duplicate and a far more Land Cruiser than a TLC or FJ company build for a lot less money!

That Volvo looks great. There used to be one of those in my neighborhood. Haven't seen it in awhile, not sure if the guy still has it. Perhaps it's just a fair weather rig. His was fairly dull looking as I recall, not sharp like yours.
