Whatever this is, it’s hawt

 

Allergic, otherwise I would. Although Ive noticed ever since our dog died that the birdfeeder has become the neighborhood cat hangout.

 

MFing land cruiser son. That's like the all time ultimate truck. 79 series I think. Right @what road?

 

He’s got a pretty sweet set up

 

Hawt af

 

So 5k for your 80

 

Yup, I'm still trying to figure out how to get one lol

 

I was thinking about getting a roller and putting engine, transmission and so forth in myself.

 

That's a really good point, even for a good DIYer availability of parts can screw ya

 

Mmm a cummins powerd 79 series

 

Seemed like the best option. Easy to get parts and everything.

 

If you want to do the extreme you could get it without suspension and axles.

 

But the long run you'll be solid in terms of parts

 

Oh that's it? And that includes the cruiser right?
I know I know

 

AUS dollar is like $0.80 cents to us rough guess from memory lol

 

Just do it yourself

just gotta pay for all the mechanic schooling and a auto shop with every to you will need

 

Just found some damage/gouges on my spindle from when the machine shop improperly pressed in a wheel bearing. Not sure if I want to tear into the driver spindle. I assume they learned from their mistakes after having to buy a new bearing for the passenger spindle.

I guess I missed it back during the 4WD conversion because the gouges are under the rear seal that meets with the CV. So they were there before the seal but after I took them to the machine shop. Still doesn't change the fact that both my CVJ CV axles don't fit inside the spindles on my flatbed without scraping the brass ring. So I still need to call CVJ tomorrow. And maybe grab a spindle off a 4Runner in the local yard.

 

Add or manual?

 

That lessens the blow from an 80k dollar project to a 65k dollar project.... But I have to learn to drive upside down and on wrong side of the road
