Go for it John, you can't keep being a 'Cruiser fan without a 'Cruiser!
nice find. I guess I should buy that 85 Bj60 that I found. It would make a great doner drivetrain

Sure you can if you don't have the money. I could probably raise the $ if I sold my little boat and a few other things. However, then there is the cost of rebuild. The complaints about the eye sore in the driveway or back yard because I don't have the $ to make it look nice.
Think I will wait a while. Like I said, I may win one at Cruiser Days.
However, I have always liked the lines of the Little Piggies. The scary blue paint on this one would have to go.I sure do like window shopping and dreaming on Craigslist. :>)

Eye sore? How can you use those two words in reference to a LandCruiser?
Sacrilege!
Of course I would never use those two words.I have both a wife and neighbours who would.
Yeah, a fella can pee in his yard, so to speak.
The 69 patrol looks like a good project for a nissan guy.
1969 Nissan Patrol
It needs engine work so that makes it a good diesel swap candidate, comes with a spare eye sore parts rig, and it already has a bit of land cruiser parts thrown into the mix. Plus it looks to be in good shape.
For a nissan it looks kinda cool

Piggy is a better deal - especially for someone who is broke. Nissan Dealer in Calgary sold a driveable L60 on Ebay a while ago which was only used as a parking lot snow plow and tow vehicle. I think it went for just over $1700 to a US bidder. You could get a better condition SWB Safari with a TD4.2 over here for around $5000 which would be way more capable than the L60. Guys in the states like them because no one else has them and they sell for good money there.

I think if you own a Land cruiser or a Patrol, then your half way there anyways.
Careful John, I hear that CC has an inquisition going on regarding your infil-TRAITION into the Club. I hear heads are gonna roll... (-:

Heads didn't usually roll during the "Inquisition". Most died from the long slow torture they endured. Of course BQ was a favorite for the death sentence...
