Well I'm new to the fourm and this is my first Land Cruiser . I plan on building this truck over the next few years . It's an 85 Canadian BJ-70 3B 5-speed came across this one a few years ago at a local farm and inquired about it and about 2 years later I now own it . The previous owner was a Land Cruiser enthusiast that's just got out of the hobby so along with the truck I got a shed full of new and used parts and multiple engines & transmissions. The engine currently in the truck was seized due to heat but I should have enough parts to make at least one running engine The body's not to bad and the frame will need a few repairs but overall It's a good starting point.

My first task is pulling the body off and sending the chassis out for sandblast so I have some clean metal to work with

Drove mine to the Arctic Circle via Dawson and Alaska. Loved every moment. There are times when all you want is the sweet sound of the tractor engine purring away!
Enjoy.
