Here is my 1976 I drove in college. I would bet that is as clean as it ever was, must have rained. That is my brothers 68 red one. I hope I can track down some pics of my 1970 I drove in high school. It was black with a half soft top making it look like a little pickup. That was in the very early 80's and you never saw a jeep or a cruiser with a halfcab soft top.
Thank you guys for these great pictures. I've been restoring my 40 for over a year now and get tired and disgusted at times especially since I restore cars for someone for a living. I'm doing my 40 all by meeself and it get's discouraging at times but friday and Sat nights I love knocking down several Mooseheads and looking at all these great pictures, it picks me up!
we need to keep this thread going
here are some pics of my 76 fj40 a month or so after i bought it. Right after i turned 18 and started working, was the first thing i can say i worked for in life.

Man, this is a great thread! keep it coming, please! Makes me proud to have my 74' kickin' around LA! Very cool history, guys.... Hope my son and I can look back on stuff like this in the future...he's only 8 months old right now, but still....
Man, these are some great pics. My son is 1 1/2 yrs old right now and I hope to be able to get some pics of him in ours. I have to change the fuel pump out and I am going to put another starter in it because the one I have now is dragging. Once those things are done, we are gonna be rolling again. I had let it sit for the better part of that year and a half but now that the son is starting to get a little older, it is time to go. Buddy of mine said it shouldn't be hard at all to install power steering. That is gonna be a hoot.
Found a better picture of my brother's 68. Still cannot find pics of my 1970 one. Love the white pin stripping. I might to that on the 80 I am starting to restore. My 70 was black with similar pin stripping.

This is 1977 and we are exploring a disused railway tunnel in the Rimutakas near Wellington:
And this was taken inside the "Summit Tunnel" on this "Rimutaka Incline railway track"
PS. This railway is particularly historic because of its steep gradients and the method the steam engines (called "Fell Engines") used to gain the necessary traction.

New photo but old Cruiser
I took this on a hunting trip in Africa, This truck has been on this farm (120,000 acres some farm A) for a long time, I forgot the year bot its 60s ish, they did there own mods right on the farm with what ever they had so they could go more places in the Kali. desert, All the farmers over there only use Land Cruiser,s. It's a bad place to be stranded by your truck so dependability is everything.

Looks like I'm filling this thread with old kiwi cruisers 
I wonder if any of the original owners visit IH8MUD and recognise their old vehicles! (In fact - I wonder if any of these vehicles still exist!)
Here's some more photos I took in the 70s. (The photos are rather dull because they're old, lots of the best club trips were in rotten weather, and they're from old prints that I've recently scanned):
