G'day everyone

[GM60]

Hi to all cruiser fans.
This is my first post here but I have been visiting for some time now.
Looks like a great site with much knowledge from many parts of the globe.
I've been into Landcruisers since the late 1970's, starting back then with a 3 speed FJ45.
Thesedays I run two 60 series wagons, one an '84 5 speed fitted with a 6.2 GM V8 diesel, and the other a '87 5 speed with 12HT.
Hope to share some cruiser stuff with you guys.

Welcome! Always good to see more Aussie Cruiserheads on the forum! Are your wagons daily drivers? long-range travel rigs?

G'day GM60 from Bruthen in East Gippsland. My own 60 has the 12ht motor in it. Truly a work of art considering it's now 21 years old.

Cheers,

Ben

G'day from Colorado!

This is the most informative forum I've had the pleasure of visiting (including Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, & 50s F100).

Someone ought to do a psych master's thesis on the differences.

Hello and welcome. Your cruisers sound very nice.

Having a 6.2 diesel, you may want to check out this thread. Someone was just asking about those.

Thanks for the welcome and also the "newby salute"!
To answer some of the questions ................
Yes, both my wagons are for everyday use and both have modifications of some sort.
When I figure out how to post pics here I will put some photos up.
The '84 6.2 is the main workhorse of the two and is not far from 380,000 k's.
It's taken me to a lot of good places over the years and I really love the old thing.
There are mixed feelings regarding the worth of the 6.2 diesel motors and I might do a write up on my experience with these at some point.
I've done a fair few miles/k's with mine in a variety of conditions and situations.
Cheers
