another 60 series newbie from australia!

[mrflibbles]

Just a quick hello to introduce myself, im Paul, im from Adelaide in South Australia, and i now own a 60 series landcruiser (my second 4x4 if you count the jackaroo i had!).

anyway the beast is my new toy and is currently getting a good going over before i register it! it is a cheap 4x4 but i have plans for it! first is new leaf springs all round with a small 2 inch lift and maybe some 33 inch tyres. maybe down the track ill turf the 2f motor and convert it to something a little more interesting...

would love to hear from others in adelaide especially 60 series owners! i have no idea as to any 4x4 tracks down here as all my previous wheeling in a fourby was in queensland!

nice to meet you all, and be kind to me!

Welcome to Mud! Let me be the first to.. Now that thats out of the way..

Enjoy the 60! Get her running solid mechanically then go for the mods! Get yourself a FSM, search here often and don't be afraid to ask questions! Enjoy the ride!

welcome.
I'm just down the road in Mount Gambier.
There's good tracks down this way.
Dunno about any up your way.
It's good to see you got rid of that Jackaroo.
Now you drive a real rig.
Thumbs up to you.

As good a thread as any for my first post.
I'm in Adelaide also.
As far as good tracks, there's a bloke up on the Murray has converted his land to a 4wd wheel and camp place.
Haven't been there myself yet but a mate has and is taking me next time.
Other than that the flinders ranges is the place.
I have a 84 FJ62. All I've done so far is filters, oil, leads, points and condenser.
