TOYOTA PIC OF THE DAY POST (3 Viewers)

[stevebradford]

Wait! Before you say that’s not a Toyota, it is. It’s a Landcruiser bj42 with the body rusted out and hit by a snow plow till nothing was left. It’s reincarnated with a land rover pop can body dropped on the frame and the drive train of a legendary Landcruiser.

Looks great Jon!

 

[cruisedeisel]

Never thought I would be this guy.

 

[cruisedeisel]

I would have never thought. The more you load a 12 valve, the more power they get. Driving the cruiser with 23 psi boost feels so gutless now.

 

[cruisedeisel]

And maybe I might be able to finally come down island for a club run as long as everybody doesn't hack on me as much as I hack on them.

 

[cruiserpilot]

Yeah, but I mean if you got to actually weld your wrenches to your grill so they are handy,
there really is no hope.

Bit more sanitary than using real bones tho.

Anyone seen anyone driving a PIG lately?

This cracked me up; why doesn't my wife look at me like that when I talk about importing a 15BFT to replace the 2LTE in my LJ78?

That is getting close to the " please, continue mansplaining it to me, I enjoy it" face.

That's an LV not a 55.

fj45lv is the bees knees, once viewed landpimps lv45 in Gig Harbour. John has one of the nicest collections of cruisers I have ever seen, all his stuff is mostly rust free... 1967 Toyota RESTORED FJ45LV WAGON V8 AUTOMATIC PS LOADED ORIGI

55 is a pig Jim, do your homework...

Final tune nearly complete. Here is cruising at 100 kph after coming up the Malahat in 5th gear all the way. Easy boost to 20 psi now.
Can’t wait to hook up the trailer and head out on a trip.

Nice Jon! You're probably going closer to 110km/h because of your larger tires.

 

[cruiserpilot]

With the 4.11’s I’m about 5% off. That’s what random radar guns on the highway seem
to show. It’s what I base my fuel economy on. I just can’t wait to get out on a nice long cruise!

 

[Rigpig]

Yup, driving slow in the fast lane...
Welcome to BC!
Is that cell phone mounted to the steering wheel?

Made some boards. The cruiser gin pole had no problem lifting a 12 foot 20 inch diameter Douglass fir.
