1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oh nvm on that you have to remove the blower to get the knock sensor I forgot you're not V6, you're the I4. So different loc but yeah glad you got it
People dog on it but this I4 is a GREAT engine. Little bit of boost and you're loving it without comprising longterm Toyota reliability

 

Got dam they get all of the coolest and best 4x4s the world has to offer down under. We only get one, the Land Cruiser.

 

Not entirely true but ok

 

Of course I'm not being a biased ridiculous land cruiser fan

 

Sounds like you need my help

 

I am the big spoon after

 

ID please

 

I want to do some winter offroading lol snow and mud is my favorite

Looks really good but is it $50k good?

 

Now here is a 'project' vehicle

1967 Toyota Land Cruiser

Amazing how even the comparably undesirable 280 (vs 240 and 260) is rising in price. If there weren't so many Z31s in the wild (was the most sold Z) I'd wonder if their price was gonna climb too. Most people have forgotten about the Z31, it doesn't even reliably make it on to the the nostalgia marketing like t shirts and key chains. So maybe we will get lucky and they'll stay cheap

 

did you notice the engine --

 

Might as well be winter here right now, it's in the 50s and storming...getting snow again in the foothills above our house. Then supposed to be in the upper 70s this weekend, wtf

 

That's not a selling point anymore, it's so damn easy to throw in the exact same footprint LS with fuel injection that reliably makes more power and uses less fuel. The 350 is a heavy paperweight nowadays

 

2 more storms coming in by midweek - get ready. going to be unsettled AF

 

didn't know that - you are the Z expert of course...

do like how clean that one is though. nice job to the restoration peeps.

 

Yeah supposed to be another by Tuesday.

I think we've gotten more rain down here in the past 6 months than the last 3 years combined

 

They did make it clean for sure. Wonder if the dash is the original or if they put a plastic reproduction on. The originals are nice but they crack if you look at them wrong haha

 

you done triggered james with that
