This one is for sale again on Facebook marketplace, unless the first deal didn’t go through. Now it’s in Mesa AZ. 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser -...

I was looking at the AFI conversion. Why is a TBI not a good idea on a 2f?

Are they available anywhere new? Quite a few places advertise them but they don't have them.

Glad I'm not alone. Lol! But I got first dibs! :hillbilly:

still looking

bump!

I'm looking for a good/almost new set of Q78 Super Swampers in So.Cal area. I prefer R15 and local, but will consider R16 and shipping. Thanks! :steer:
