Hey!
When in the States, we mostly live in Bozeman or on the wet side near Seattle. No LCs here, but I have an '83 BJ-T60 down in Bolivia waiting for me to return. It was good those of you there tonight!
Hey,
First time posting in the 100 forum. I'm looking at a '99 with 292K on it for my brother tonight and want to know what to look for - common problem areas, etc. My Land Cruiser experience is with the FJ40, FJ55, and BJ60.
Thanks

I have a '97 K1500 LS Suburban with the 5.7 Vortec with 215K. It burns through about 1 quart/1500 miles. We go from Montana to Seattle quite frequently and it does 80-85 mph fine with all the kids and crap, and gets about 14mpg. It still starts and runs fine with no noticeable problem (no white...

Spike Strip - read your thread, multiple times, over the last course and can't seem to isolate the problem. I should know tomorrow if the...
Hey.
I'm about to believe in demon possession of inanimate objects here.
This is on my full-floater '83 rear in my BJ60. Had the brakes done by my mechanic the same time he put Longfields in the front axle and did all the axle seals. Left the next day to go to Santa Cruz with the family...
Ok, yesterday was an epic drive in our backyard. Brother Foreigner got the photos up @ Picasa, so have a look.
