    Build Babe the Blue Ox, a 75-series pickup build!

    You can replace that part , I have bought a ton of nos 75 cab parts last year and sold them all . If you want some names of people that bought these let me know .

    Actually they came from a LJ73 , I think I kept the rear half doors for myself .

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    We have driven it many times already just never with a motorcycle . It should be open and otherwise we find some detours trough the hills , after all we are on adv bikes 😉

    Building a Land Cruiser for the trails - a how to discussion/build thread.

    I build a 73 that I wheeled pretty hard for a few years mostly hanging out with the buggy crowds . It was fun but wheeling anything with a full frame and body has it’s limitations . If I was to do it again for hardcore crawling I will buy a used buggy and keep a lc for the nicer stuff like...

    Flat towing a 70 series , anyone doing it ?

    Haven’t look in to those but finding a affordable reliable 80 isn’t that easy these days plus I think they might be pushing the weight limit for towing on our rv . Living in a rv on the road without having a shop has it’s limits for things like this .

    Flat towing a 70 series , anyone doing it ?

    Custom ordering takes to long as we are already traveling and I don’t have weeks or months to wait on parts this time . It looks more and more I will end up buying a heep for this adventure

    Flat towing a 70 series , anyone doing it ?

    Already asked around for custom axle shafts and nobody seems to offer them . Having just one set made is costly and time consuming . I looked in to this before I shipped my HZJ73 to Europe.

    1PZ vs 1HZ (SWB) in 2026, better buy?

    The lhd 1PZ is probably coming from latin america if it is 12 volt as Europe 1PZ’s where 24 volt . I had several 24 volt 1 pz 70 series and always like them . In the end you probably end up swapping the pz or hz for a turbocharged versikn so buy the best one you can in your budget .

    Flat towing a 70 series , anyone doing it ?

    I need to buy a vehicle to flat tow behind our rv for our upcoming Baja adventure . Has to be 5000 pounds or less , 4 door so the dog can get in and out easy , 4x4 with transfer case that can be shift in neutral ! Seems like newer and most available options are getting a jeep wrangler or a new...

    Anyone using a GX460 to tow behind a RV ?

    Yeah the 460 is out of the running and with the current pricing on a clean rust free 470 I hate to say it but it will probably be a jeep to tow behind our RV .

    Build Live in Texas, drive a pickup: HDJ79 single cab build

    It’s very sad but the paintquality on these newer 7x models is subpar to the older models . I have seen some new models on ngo parking lots with surface rust popping up after being parked outside for a year or so .
