Dude just get Johns runner the engine is brand spanking new...he spent like a grand rebuilding it....I know this info cause the guy that did the rebuilding had his shop next to wicked and he was telling me about it.....its also an auto but no worries man he used to get good gas milage hurry up so we can go wheeling

i'm workin on it, don't worry.
2 problems i've bumped into:
1. i have to have a reliable truck ASAP, if i get that 4 runner i'd have to have the suspension and axle there and ready to install that same day. (just all parts there, could take longer to install)
2. if i get one of the 4 runners in Utah, i'm having a hard time finding some airfair i can afford.
a 3rd problem, me getting the 4 runner that swampy found requires my parents being able to sell the vw by this weekend.

4 runner is what i'm hopin for, hopefully everything will fall together quickly.

is everything there except for the diff?

SWAMPER · February 28, 2006, 05:20:08 PM

everything except for the front axle....it runs man!

red · February 28, 2006, 05:21:33 PM

i beieve u that it runs, just thought he meant it was a front axle housing. dumb me.
is the title clear on it?
and is it street legal (once it has an axle to mount the front tires, steering, and suspension.)

please look for an axle and steering, i need a new truck soon (by this upcoming monday)
my dad also found 2 more mid 80's land cruisers, but with my delivery driver job the gas mileage would eat me alive.

what kinda cruiser, i might swap my truck for a slick 40

SWAMPER · March 01, 2006, 06:58:25 AM

Yes red its street legal...and I belive the title is clear

i think they're all the 4 door landcruisers. (fj80's?) one has a rust hole on the tailgate, and some minor surface rust in the wheel wells. one has an auto, the other 2 have manuals. 2 have broken leaf springs, don't know anything else about the other. i'll find out alot more when i go up there next week.

SWAMPER · March 01, 2006, 11:15:51 AM

red see if they have the factory e-locker in em...if so ask the owner if he would consider selling it to me

79coyotefrg · March 01, 2006, 05:58:30 PM

red · March 07, 2006, 06:46:12 PM

well my parents have found a truck that they want me to have, because of reliability, lower miles, and appearance. its a 94 suburban 4x4.
i can still wheel it, just gotta learn how to wheel a long wheelbase again.

red · March 07, 2006, 06:48:59 PM

hey glen, do you still want an fj45? theres one here in utah for 2000? it needs some work (dealer said it runs and drives)
swampy, none of the land cruiser owners will part one out. but there are about 7 82-88 land cruisers for under 3000.

SWAMPER · March 07, 2006, 08:26:25 PM

Yeah but I belive that only the FJ's had a front e-locker and fj's were made from 91-97

all land cruisers where called fj's stands for "foreignjeeps" the number is what signifyes the model, fj40 is the jeep, fj45 is the pickup
fj60 and 62 where the 4door type kinda like a jeep cherokee, and fj80's are the sport utes from 91 up

red if i saw that fj45 and it was in spiffy shape i'd probably just give you my 79pickup

maybe

SWAMPER · March 08, 2006, 09:45:23 AM

ok ok so it was an FJ80 there darn glen
