My little “ not a real cruiser “ is growing up . This is my favorite cruiser and it’s going to the Rubithon with me next week . Hope to see some off y’all there .
It sure looks quite different now from when I picked it up in France last year .
Our HZJ-73 got a lot of mechanical baselining last winter, but we passed on a new radiator because I needed it home to get going on bodywork/paint and didn't have time to source one. Soon after, I picked up a new one for a 79 series from Odd Iron...
We’ve have sent “early notice” emails to everyone that attended last years event (and another ten or so that wanted to be added to the list), so if you didn’t see an email, perhaps check your spam folder.
We’ll send “follow-up” emails once...
Yes, the name of the event has changed to honor Peter Brown, who unfortunately lost his battle with ALS earlier this year. Peter was 1 of the original 3 organizers of this event some 10 years ago and will be sorely missed.

An innovative idea to make something useful out of the ashtray. This device just replaces the ashtray with a convenient place to secure a microphone. It’s my understanding that it can be wired in such a way that the mic can also plug into the...
Rear fog light, much brighter than normal tail lights for low light condition, required in the UK and EU. Only turns on via a separate switch with sidelights and higher.
Most manufacturers only put one on, fitted to the drivers side. Some cheap...
I realize this isn’t a U.S. thing or a U.S. vehicle for that matter, but what’s up with this light. Is it market specific? Does it illuminate with the headlights?
My wife is on a girls vacation so....party time for me!! Tunes and Cruiser projects!
More cut and buff time on the 73.

I've been on and off the forums now for a few months and finally decided to post and introduce myself and my car.
I recently inherited a 1991 HZJ73 with 218k km on it, left hand drive (I believe Japanese spec). This is my first Land Cruiser.
I...
