Hi All,
Planning a PAH trip later this year (starting in fall) and looking to pick up an older Land Cruiser for the trip.
Was thinking about a BJ73 (w/ 197K miles & the 3.4L diesel) and wanted to get the communities input - would you recommend this 2-door for the trip in terms of overall reliability and parts availability? Looking to stay away from newer cars for overall simplicity of repairs and electronics (and the uniqueness factor, of course )
If so, any mods that you think are must have for the trip? (e.g. better temp gauge, necessary spare parts to bring, etc.). Also open to other vehicles the group might recommend. Plan is to take 3 months to do the trip and spend as much time off the highways as possible.
Thanks!
