Won a trophy in a car show.

Teillä on siellä hyvä keli. Täällä on kauhea lumimyrsky. Minun pitäisi lähteä kohta asiakkaan luo 108km päähän. Wish me luck. Onnittelut kaluston kuntoon saannista ja hyvää leiriä!

Season ended 1,5 months ago and the car is in the winter storage. End of the summer was just driving. Did not reel on the winch cable or changed front door seals. Car got 1655km so not much. I did just some daily driving and that one longer trip that I documented earlier. So for next summer...

Low spec ones that were common here are painted. I have the code for the paint. I will pm you it along with some info on winches.

This season started first of may. It is kind a thing here to take out summer vehicles this time. First a wash. Then some driving. First this car was planned for taking dogs out to swim. So it had to be done. They did not swim but got into water at least. After a week I noticed smell of...

I forgive being foreigner and not aware of Finnish LC models. Here square headlights are often on HJ61. So 60 and 61 here, not any 62.

@kirvesmies made up a new model :bounce: I have a HJ60, but it is the later model. I have not looked seriously on a older HJ rear seat belts. But I understand that the basics is same on early models also. I did not really understand what the question was but I try to answer anyway :D Seatbelts...

@ToyotaMatt This is again notifications I have made here in Finland and our versions. As mentioned above by @Eurasiaoverland headlights does not identify HJ60 and HJ61. First 61 here were with round headlights and no diff locks. Then last year with round headlights had diff locks. And from...

A friend of mine fitted first gen Volvo V70 drivers seat and wider section of back seat into a HJ60. Comfortable to sit and as a bonus you get arm rest for driver and 3 seat front seats. Here HJ60 and 61 are 6 pers. cars.

Yes the PTO was fitted to all. 4x4 off road vehicles got a cheaper tax. That tax help required PTO. It was because defense forces could take your car to war if war would start. First it was totally free of taxes later it was around 30% tax and in the beginning of the 90´s the tax benefit stopped...

What I am about to write is my own investigation on euro spec winch: Early winches (for round headlight models up to -87 here) must have the winch bumper with a notch in the middle. Compared to later models (with square headlights from -88 here) the winch fairlead is 15mm taller on early...

People around the world have different problems :D Samoin sinulle! Siellä on musta ja sininen kaverina ja eri värisiä pienempiä kavereita.

It has been a long and cold winter. Couple of weeks in january constant -30deg celcius. Lots of snow also. Snow would be deeper without couple week long periods of + degrees. So no hurry to take the Snow white out of the garage. But she seems to have everything ok inside the garage. No leaks...

Kyllä. Ovi on auki!

This season has ended. Did drive a bit, only 461km. But after all leakage etc. problems the car has worked fine. It has been very rainy autumn so sunny driving days has not been many. But I took some photos on good days. I am surprised of that I am not afraid to drive it. I have driven in...
