    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    That is good to hear. How are you enjoying your 74? Has it been trouble free so far? How do you like it compared to the 70? I'm probably just being paranoid. Especially since it's always been ATEB that has been doing the work. There's an HJ60 that's been posted on Outback's site for some...

    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    Actually, plans might be on hold for a bit... I had planned on buying the cruiser from Outback, but I have learned that Marko is no longer running things there... I am a little wary about the whole thing now. I had corresponded with Marko about a year ago and was very impressed by his patience...

    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    Hey, yeah I think we're talking the same Kingston. I'd love to see an HJ60 in person, especially RHD. If you are going to be in the Ottawa or Montreal area, I would be interested in meeting up. Has yours given you any trouble at all since you got it?

    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    Thanks for all the information guys. Actually by the sounds of it, I think either 60 or 80 series would be fine for me. They both seem to have some pros and cons, but on the whole either would be a solid choice. It should be easier to find a good one if I'd be happy with either. Unrelated...

    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    Mac, what kinds of things in the 60 did you find bothersome? Were they mostly comfort type things or driveability/durability issues? It would be ideal if I could try these trucks but there doesn't seem to be much of a community here in Kingston... I've tried a BJ70 which I was initially...

    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    Thanks for the responses. It still seems like a tough choice. Most seem to be saying the 80 is all round better, but there's still something about the 60 I can't ignore. My primary concern is reliability... is there any consensus on that - - for example manual hubs, cable lockers on the 60 vs...

    JDM - HJ60 vs 80 series

    Hi all, I'm trying to figure out which JDM cruiser would better suit me, and I'm kind of stuck. My main motivation is durability and reliability, which is pointing me toward the HJ60... is that correct? I like the rugged styling and simplicity of it, but could someone tell me if it's tiring...

    Quick differential question

    Hi guys, Never driven a truck with locking differentials before. I was wondering, do you have to be in low range 4WD before you can engage Land Cruiser lockers? Any difference in operation between the cable lockers vs the servo ones (1990+)? Thanks, Paul

    Opinions please?

    Ok, now I see what the footroom issue is. That being said, is there enough room to actually fit your foot under the clutch pedal or is it a tight squeeze and uncomfortable? (I have size 13 shoes) Also, in a parking garage, when you unbuckle your seatbelt, is a 70 series narrow enough to be...

    Opinions please?

    Hi guys, I'm seriously considering buying a RHD cruiser, but I was wondering if some of you who are driving these trucks regularly wouldn't mind sharing your experience regarding sitting on the right. Is this a hassle or something you don't think about much? I'm thinking of things like...

    How slow is slow?

    Thanks for all the info guys. The naturally aspirated 3B doesn't sound bad at all, and actually a rugged tough simple engine that makes some nice diesel noises and keeps on chugging forever actually appeals to me quite a bit. I think I'd like it.

    How slow is slow?

    Were locking differentials and full floating rear axles options on the BJ70, and if so, are they hard to come by?

    How slow is slow?

    Hi guys, Just wondering, from your experience, is it feasible to use a BJ70 for a daily driver, including the occasional highway trip? I've read that it's underpowered, but just what does that mean exactly? Can it keep up with traffic or cruise at 110 km/h for long distances? I don't want...

    Some beginner questions.

    Thanks Greg, this has been a great help. I appreciate everyone taking the time to share the benefit of their experience. I may have more questions in the future; it's good to know where to come for help. I think based on what's been said here, balancing age, back seat room, driving...

    Some beginner questions.

    I was suprised to read that the 70 has more rear seat leg room than the longer wheelbase 73/74. We don't have any kids, but it would still be nice to have the option of having people in the back on occasion.... is it the rear seat legroom that bad in the 73/74? From what I've been reading, it...

    Some beginner questions.

    Thanks very much guys for your responses. From what I'm understanding, assuming I take proper care of the vehicle, either will be reliable in the long run. One of the reasons I'm looking at getting one of these Cruisers is that I really like the idea of having an extremely well built...

    Some beginner questions.

    Hi there, First I'd like to say that this is a terrific site. I'm new to Land Cruisers but I've been reading up as much as I can about them, and this forum is filled to the brim with useful information. I'm thinking about buying a Japan-imported 70 series LC and I have a few questions...
