TerryB Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 They seem to be getting quite popular with the 4x4 crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick8086 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) It is a vintage Toyota land cruiser.. Yes rare.. I talked by dad into buying it.. Great car to remove snow... Now it is for sale.. It has rust. My 80 years old dad ran the car into a few things.. so some dents... But he enjoyed it to remove snow... It has three on the tree.. It also has new brake lines in the rear.. Number of Cylinders: 6 Last ran 6 years ago..

nick8086 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Nebraska. It was a true 4x4.. maybe top speed was 30 mph.. If you change the oil it takes 9 quarts.. Edited March 30, 2018 by nick8086 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush Mechanic Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 It is possible that it is stuck in low range. Top speed in high range is over 70, from memory. I well remember 'driving' a Morris Minor with no brakes, being towed at up to 55 mph by one of these. The downhill traffic lights were the worst. Luckily the spare wheel is perfectly positioned on the back for absorbing the impacts of the LHS Minor front mudguard (fender). 6 am Sunday morning, a 30 mile ride from inner Melbourne to the hills.

Maybe with out the snow blade on it... I may write off the repairs and use it for my business..

Bush Mechanic Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nick, they are wonderful vehicles, for their time. Landcruisers are still the yardstick by which everything else is measured, in this country. When you get right out in the bush, you rarely see anything else, (unless driven by a tourist). My current 1980 HJ45 is my third tray-top Landcruiser, and is still going strong after 38 years of hard work. Restored examples are bringing silly money, especially the FJ40, and it may well be worthwhile keeping yours running. Some parts are still available, and bodies didn't have annual changes like many vehicles, so sheet metal shouldn't be a problem. Love that snow plough! Not something we get to play with in Aus.

nick8086 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Maybe I should pull it out of storage and get it running.. Then ask 10K for it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I got to drive one of those type Toyotas for work back in the late 1970's, but it was the long one, not the fj40. Really like it. Drove it on the gravel beaches next to the river for a canoe business, hauling a trailer loaded with canoes. It was all white. Great driving in the gravel, low range 4WD. Something more like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
