Added a couple hundred kms to the odometer.
Hello,
"Do not think too much about it, put on kilometers/miles in your Land Cruiser's odometer." My mechanic told me this last year.
I think you will agree that it is good advise.

Added a couple hundred kms to the odometer.
Finally took the new setup camping in western New Mexico for some rockhounding and sightseeing.

Yeah! It's a beautiful area FILLED with fossils and unfortunately, natural gas companies.Looks like your setup is working out nicely. Love the Aeolian Erosional Landforms in the photos.
Great photos! @Bogan
High amount of lounge vibes in these. Which Cook partner is that? 22" x 2 burner?
The GEOLOGY!
Technically, no. EPA requires 25 year old vehicle to be in “unmodified condition” to receive federal emissions exemption. Whether the Customs guy who’ll inspect it knows that, or can tell it’s been modified is another question. Do you feel lucky?Pretty sweet HDJ73 but will it be importable?
Do you feel lucky?
The rear tailshaft must be so stubby.... and incorrect front end for a 1HD-FTE. Nice rig though, looks to be finished in the factory VDJ79 graphite grey which looks really nice in person.1986BJ73HDJ73 for sale in Melbourne Australia. Only $79,900. AUD.
There is A LOT of want here. Buy a house or buy this...decisions

I assume you are saying that because it would be worth that to you in the US? Just for reference, a brand new 2021 with the V8 diesel in Saudi with all options including winch, front and rear lockers, etc. is listed at $47,165 (USD equivalent) which means you could probably get one for somewhere between $40k and $45K. And of course these are LHD.No but if I got it here, it would be worth every penny of the ~$70K USD it costs to get it here.

Owned both, liked both. Both have their appeal.Am I the only one that gets annoyed when they swap out the flat fenders for the newer style front end? Flat fenders like a 40 has so much more style.
