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.
Not true with my former FJ62. Possibly the front T and A are the only letters that can and do come off? I lost one of mine, the other came loose.
Good luck finding replacements. Cruiser parts.com perhaps
