i'm very preferential to 1st gen 4x4 pickups('79-83, particularly '79-81), but i really like the old FJ40 and FJ45.

02SE · 02-02-2005, 07:01 PM

I would have to say one of the 100 series Landcruisers, sold in other countries, with the TurboDiesel, and solid front axle.

Scofco · 02-02-2005, 07:09 PM

I'm rather partial to the FJ60's personally. I'd like to own one half as nice as this one:

ditto

i like the new 70 series diesel, 6 in line, optional "digital radio" hahahaha, solid axle, 5 speed, back seats as an upgrade (obviously not for the p/u version)...

i love it...
i wish we were still this primitive.

NathanBERG · 02-02-2005, 07:31 PM

Ya, the fj60's are kinda cool. But not even as fun to drive as a 4Runner/Pickup.

My Vicodin is kicking in

WOAH....ok i liked those trucks before but with that one i think i've fallen in love...

I MUST have more info on that model...

What i'm looking for is a good first vehicle, that has modern features like heater, and AC...other than that, all it needs is the toyota emblem, ample space for misc. stuff, a CB, and a nice sterio.....

I had my eye on 1st and 2nd gen 4runners and 2nd and 3rd gen pickups, but i've always liked the largeness of the Fj60.... ( just learned the model name by the way....lol)

Holy Shi'ite that's a good looking apparatus! The front end of those is a classic.

BT17R · 02-02-2005, 09:29 PM

For what purpose? With 124 models in production worldwide, Toyota has segmented the industry into specialized categories.

If you're talking one Toyota that comes closest to my needs, I'd say a '98-'99 FJ-100, pre-electronic driveline controls. Good, low mileage examples are available for $15K now.

But there is one very special Toyota that comes to mind that few have heard of let alone seen or driven. I'm the proud caretaker of 1 of 54 imported into the U.S., a 1967 Toyota 2000GT. It'll be in a museum piece eventually, where many of the rest are now.

Wow! Looks like an Opel GT!

Flamedx4 · 02-02-2005, 10:50 PM

85 4Runner.

It's only my opinion, but I happen to be partial to it...

The Landcruiser FJ40 has a certain cache, but it offers a bone crushing ride, rattles everywhere, poor directional stability of short wheelbase, and aside from that is generally uncomfortable. Meanwhile the old straight 6 blows a head gasket every 70,000 miles. I like the FJ60 though, more comfortable and when modified is a sweet trail ride. All the other (newer) Cruisers and Runners are just expensive cars...

Tell that to Slee , I think he might disagree

. I think a 80 series Land Cruiser with 150k+ miles is agreat value and awesome truck, wish I still had mine. I like my 4runner, but I liked the LC much better except for mpg.

kyle_22r · 02-02-2005, 11:40 PM

whoa whoa whoa, nobody said anything about cars!

in that case, i'll take a pre-78 celica, preferably liftback with an 18RG engine :p

calrockx · 02-02-2005, 11:45 PM

if i could only have one toyota vehicle, it'd be an FZJ80. modded up right, that'd be oh so sweet.

No way!!

That is the best Toyota ever!!! Lucky!

Best SUV/Truck: I would love to have a 80 series LC

Best Car: 1992 Toyota Celica All Trac

ayoung101 · 02-03-2005, 06:02 AM

isn't the 2000gt the james bondmobile in one of the bond movies?

i forgot all about that old car. it is pretty sweet.

ken.vs.ryu · 02-03-2005, 06:04 AM

Thats the vehicle that made me fall in love with FJ60s. I'd prefer a diesel version though.

I like that green, and I also like the blue as well.

My vote would go for an HDJ-80 though. Not as pretty as the FJ-60, but who can pass up Diesel; 5-Speed; Full-Time 4WD; Center, Front, and Rear Diff-Lock; Heated Seats; Rear Fog Lights; etc, etc.

X-AWDriver · 02-03-2005, 09:35 AM

Another vote for the last gen Supra TT;what else can you dump a grand into and get almost 150 more wheel horsepower? Plus how many motors can lay down over 900whp on the stock bottom end? That motor puts out big numbers from a measley 180ci.
