I need help in posting details of my LJ70 to this registry. Tried and failed. It seems that I can only figure out how to reply to a person rather than make my own new entry. Also it is not at all clear to me how you post a photo--need some better instructions here. Thanks, Don

[BJ74PE]

mmmmmm.......

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I like that color .........

 

[cruiserdan]

Me too. I'm a big fan of red cars. The only reason I left my 74 gold is because there are 4 red vehicles in the yard already..

2 Dodge Challengers, A Cummins crew cab pickup and a Raider.


How is LHD with RHD wipers driving in the rain? I would think it to be a bit odd.

 

[BJ74PE]

I like that color .........

The car served to fire dpt at Saitama's prefecture back on its japanese days. I wanted to keep the original tones; only change was the FRP top, powder coated plastic paint and changed the "land cruiser" and "FRP top" letters to a matching red .

It gets on my nerves actually! Fortunately I got my hands onto LHD spare parts to finally convert the wipers too.



I still got the "rookie" rank, a couple of messages from getting to post better resolutions pics; thanks for the kind comments guys!

Oh, and did I mention it is a factory FRP dual top. I bought it not so long ago and have been steadily working out the little things. Lights, 24v system, radio, trailer hookup, rust. Still need to clean the soft top before it goes on and look into welding a full cage in it. Have not taken any pictures yet.
