Bought some rims on CL, older gentleman showed me what they came off of. Gorgeous truck inside and out! He uses it as a freakin plow truck at his ranch in Montana! He did say that he might sell it, he would like a newer 80s 40 with a "5 speed" and disc brakes.

Um. Wow.

Sticker in Evergreen. Wasn’t there a thread about LC’s in advertisements/clothing/etc?

Met the owner of Land Cruiser Heaven in Lake City this morning. Rick I think? I had a disaster of a race on Saturday and my brain is still recovering.

Driving a nicely built 80 series imported from Dubai. LHDOriginally a 1fz but swapped to a 1hdt with a 5 speed. Stainless snorkels always get me to half mast.

Drool.....

Finally spotted the Prado in Robin's (and @Cruisertrash) neighborhood.

Yep, one block down from me. It comes and goes - I imagine it's garaged when I don't see it.

Anybody care to guess which model this is? KZJ78? 77? I suppose it could have a 1FZ or a PZ in it, too. I'm out of my element with most 70 Series, especially the Prados.

I’m pretty sure it’s the KZJ78W with the 1KZ-TE 3.0L 4cyl turbo diesel. I used to own one very similar to that one. Mine was a 1994 so I’m guessing this one is a 1993-1995 model.

My 94 model

Would a 1PZ being 5 cylinder inline even fit in a J78 Prado? These trucks only ever got I4 or V6 engines, right? Even to the current Prado. The only outlier that comes to mind is only 120-derived, that being a 4th gen 4Runner that had a V8 and even that would only be 4 cylinders long technically.

I think you’re right. The F, P and H series engines came in the full size land cruisers whereas the K R L G series engines came in the smaller Prados.

Thanks for the education on the 70 Series motors y'all.

Fisker Karma. Had to look it up. Hulk will recognize this parking lot.

I thought Fisker had been mentioned and sure 'nuff it was ... a decade ago!

Well they went bankrupt. Which seems to be a consistent theme with Henrik Fisker. :-(

Fisker files for bankruptcy protection, the second electric vehicle maker to do so in the past year

Electric vehicle maker Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the second electric startup to do so in the last year as even industry leaders struggle to lure more buyers beyond the early adapters of the technology.

I spotted a very rare beast the other day here at Robin's house. The originator of this thread @Beater John Henley dropped by. Forgot a pic but he wasn't driving a Toyota anyway

'78? Totally nice, looks like one of those ones we drool over on BAT. I guess if you can afford to live in Aspen you can afford a BAT-worthy 40.

John is a great guy. He recently retired from his corporate job and is now 100% focused on his art, a lot of which involves welding!
