I met the guy with the 75 at the 70 series Gathering last year in September. It's a very nice rig. You would never know from looking at it that has had a rough life. A superb restoration!

I am a little late posting but the landcruiser and my son and I made it back with little to problems .i definitely have either a bad carburetor or distributor and possibly cooling problem.but sence i have some spent so much time on the landcruiser trying to get it back on the road I had to promise my wife I would do stuff around the house and things that she wants to do .i ok with that she is very supportive and complans very little.
My plan is to install a mechanical water temperature gauge. I have one but just have not gotten around to installing it.from that point I will know if I have a cooling problem.then I will procede from there.h here's a few pictures
