Hey everyone. Been a lifelong Toyota fan, I dipped my toes into the 4WD water with an FJ Cruiser, but just picked up an imported 1987 BJ73 Land Cruiser. It probably belonged to someone on here before. It is RHD, Diesel, 5-speed manual.
So far I'm really enjoying it. Looking to hang out and learn more about the platform.
Also, I'm in Shady Hollow. I see quite a few 60 series around the neighborhood.

Nice truck. You'll want to talk to @bottombracket about doing a soft top conversion. 😁

Well, I'm probably going to head over to 1626 Auto Inspections soon to get it inspected. Wish me luck.

Driving by inspection place on FM1626 and saw the bj73 parked outside. Stopped and talked to @WarlordArby for a short while…. Beautiful truck!!

Oh yeah, he was scared to drive it, but it passed no problem.
