Tacoma is going to have a BIG rival now....

Have you seen the prices people are paying for custom vintage replicas?

Makes the originals sound like a bargain.

WOW, I would really like to afford one of those. Very nice restore.

That 1984 one I posted the link on looks like a bargain.

Here is just a 1985 Land Cruiser

I had a 1969 FJ40 with a 400sbc , couldn't keep T/ case in it and wouldn't stay cool always ran hot

 

Now this is a closer rival to the Tacoma. Only $65,000 and can go anywhere.

Those Sherps seem crazy capable.

 

I have never had a 400 I liked. Also had issues, Gremlins etc with cooling. They have the reputation and flexible and affordable, but I like to finish a project and be done. Always found myself tuning and tuning.
