An important milestone for my BJ74.

Finally broke 100,000 kms today!

Time to sell it and buy a "new" one, eh Wayne?

Hey Congrats
I'm sure your Cruiser is happy to get driven more than once a month! I'm sure it's enjoying open roads too...not continuous stop and go. Paul

Thanks, guys. I'm sure the BJ74 is happy being able to run daily...in fact, I've put in over 30,000 kms in slightly less than a year! Runs great, barely any blow-by, not much smoke...everything's tight. The previous owner in Japan might not have driven her much, but it sure looked like he took care of her. When I first drained the fluids they were clean and the diffs even had what appeared to be synthetic. When I serviced by Birfield the wheel bearings also looked like they were packed in synthetic, and were done recently. There was only one thing wrong that could have resulted in disaster: a rear pinion nut that had come loose because it wasn't staked.

Mileage figures so far have been around 12.4L/100 kms mixed city/hwy driving. Cheers.

After that whole LHD-RHD thread Tom I knew I'd get you with that one, LOL. I believe 12.4L/100 kms is roughly 23 MPG to you Yanks. I haven't done any trips long enough to use up a whole tank of fuel recently, so I don't have any recent highway figures to give you. Cheers.
