I've only had the cruiser for a month, still learning a lot about 4wding. Anyway, i'll skip the talk and get to the pics, i'm having heaps of fun with this piece of history!

Nice lookin Cruiser! You don't see a lot these days that are in that stock form. Looks like your getting the hang of it. And pictures as well! I can't really tell where the pictures where taken. Doesn't look like any place I've ever been. Welcome aboard mate!
 
Anyone else notice his rig doesn't have a bib hinge? Good pics though, looks like the p/o stuffed too wide a tire in the back a few times. My old 76 bowed the rear quarters exactly like that from running 10 inch wheels with no lift.
 
Thanks for all the positive replies. Yes my cruiser is missing the bracket to hold the window down if I ever take the roof off. I'm also missing those cool "Landcruiser" chrome badges that go on the front side of the bonnet. The wheels don't run when it's being pushed up there, I think the previous owner may have rolled the rear bit as it's very neat. I've been thinking about putting a lift kit on it as it doesn't take much for the axles to hit the stoppers.
 
if you ever find your way to the sunshine state, come visit. aint many strayans use this resource, bit surprising seeing as the number of cruzers getting round.

This was at Chapman Pde, Faulconbridge, NSW, Australia. I doubt any of you guys have been there.

That's nice. Your cruiser came with H41 and rear FF from factory already!!!

I was just browsing around the site thinking it should be full of Aussies, and I found two :)

My dad owned a HJ60 for basically as long as I can remember, and I bought myself an FJ45 ute about 18mths ago.

Generally use it for lugging camping and wakeboarding gear around, but took it up Bribie Beach the other week.

Originally a '79, it's running a red 308 w/ twin 2 1/4" exhaust, 70series 5sp, 200L 2ndry fuel tank, Thomas whinch, overly large (heavy) bullbar/sidebars, brand new suspension (still rides a bit rough empty, but 10x better than when the shackles were vertical), Electric ignition kit, Dual batteries (not working at the moment), and is about to get a thermo fan (try and remove some of the driveline vibration).

Hopefully I'll be around here a bit more often, I've got plenty of work to do on the old girl, cause I don't intend to get rid of her any time soon.

woo hoo more aussies. that top one looks exactly like my 76 fj40, down to running big rubber with no lift, no bib hinge, and missing the landcruiser badges, got some off a 75 ready to put on free from the wrecker the other day though. even the silver side steps looks like mine.

diff bullbar, and i had red p plates.
 
Sorry about a little hi jack, but i´ve been thinking a while, where i have seen your avatar before, bad_religion_au. Finally i remembered; it is from my friends web page and taken at Finnish off road show last year. And don´t panic, i don´t mind...! ;) It´s just funny to see pic from Finland as avatar for Aussie!
 
at the bottom of the front panel, underneith the radiator grill there should be a hinge in the middle that connects the front panel to the chassis crossmember, so that the front panel can be hinged down allowing access to the radiator without fully removing it.
 
btw thats a sweet looking truck, where did you get that bullbar and scrub-bars? I want some for my hj. Its not a bar from the ISA is it? I see a lot like that from there, but its a bit far to drive just for a bb.
 
NICE! NICE! Rig.
