Registry-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ71

[FIF]

1. 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ71

2. FIF

3. Indianapolis, Indiana

4. Japan (10/1989)

5. 165000 KM (runs awesome!)

6. Drive every chance I get. Just made a 2 hour trip to Cincy at 70 MPH! Gotta lotta looks as
you can imagine.



First picture is at the warehouse in Los Angeles. The next is arriving in Indianapolis! I was little nervous since I purchased on eBay. Was extremely impressed when it arrived because the frame is perfect and runs like a top. Getting ready to do a front axle rebuild along with new belts, hoses, and fluids. Right hand drive is awesome, even though I' m still getting used to turn signal switch on the right.

That never quite goes away.

Look at the bright side.... At least for a while, until you get comfortable with the turn signal / windshield wiper controls, you'll have a very clean windshield.

Looks good! Welcome!

Congrats on a beautiful little hardtop!

I have one of each (LHD/RHD cruisers) and each has their attractions.

Welcome to the madness

Thx for the welcome! Exactly, windshield stays clean. Just working my way thru tons of info and learning the ins and outs of the site.
Napa parts guru did turn me on to a bigger napa gold filter (1773). Has anyone else used this bigger filter?

Welcome to the addiction. Nice looking truck!

It is an addiction! Sure seams well worth it! Been a big Toyota fan all my life and wanted to give a diesel a shot. Had no idea these were even made until a recent google search popped up with a few. I can't believe these rigs have gone somewhat under the radar for years. (I'm sure in part to import regulations)

I'm no mechanic by any means. Would like to give a shout out to Luke's mobile automotive in Walton, Kentucky. Luke is rebuilding front axle, changing all fluids and belts, and puttin some Bilstein's on all 4 corners. Great guy with great communication skills!
