Thanks! It sits even nicer since I got new tires and the OEM wheels back on there.
I am aware I am posting 60 pics in the 80 section, but c'mon, somebody's got to post pics in this thread!
There's an 80 in the background........
At least there's no ocean pics. I only see buildings at my current location.

Addicted? There is no such thing in a Land Cruiser world.
I disagree. It's quite common. Recovery is not common because no one can admit that they have a problem.

It takes a lot of genuine reflection to come to that conclusion. I still have not yet gotten there myself, however my wife said the last straw for her was when I was trying to convince her using our vacation fund to purchase a clapped out 55 was a good idea.
I mean they're a rarity in my area...how could that be a bad buy..
Define clapped. Fully clapped? Then you buy it for the VIN and start buying parts!
Still beating myself up for selling my last 62. The 60 I could handle parting with since it was rusting away (returning to the earth). Will probably get another 60 series and commit financial sepuku.

Honestly as far as 55s go, not that clapped. Plenty of surface rust, but no real corrosion.
Previous owner made a bunch of decisions I wouldn't have though - welded rear diff, horrible matte black paint job, sprung over lift, etc. In the end he wanted too much, but if he can come down in the future I might still reconsider. Just need to come up with a way to frame it to the wife...

How dare you accuse 60 owners of that....I've had plenty screws loose way before I owned my 60 when I only had my 80....proof~

The base line for completely practical rides would be a Prius or a Taurus. Fuel economy, boring design and no fun. The second you go from there your screws start to losen. The land cruisers are at the higher end of the spectrum. Just below Land Rovers. I'm so very proud of the fact that I have screws loose and that I haven't given up on life yet. In my region I always get envious looks from the drones in thier generic sedan-cans. Im whacked and I'm proud. Oh yea, and broke.
