European Landcruiser
Hi yall. I am kinda new to this forum and I was wondering why I don't see or hear anything about the Landcruiser 70 series. You guy's don't have em over there?
Here's a pic of how they look. Took it this weekend after fitting a intercooler to the 2.5TD. It is standard equiped with coils all around, solid axles with 8" diffs (lockers optional), R type gearbox (V6) and pickup diesel engines.
I bet he never used it off road looking at the tyres.

I have seen many of them, but only on the 'Net.
They are very nice looking.

Yep, they are the same. The come in a various models and bodystyles, form wimpy style to brutal style. They are still availabel new and still popular over in Europe. Thet seem to be quit indestructabel. I have to admit that underneath it's beefier than a pick-up. Even the gears in the gearbox are at least 1/3 larger than the pickup style gearbox.
I put one of those gearboxes in my Hilux and never had a faillure in many years of offroading with 33's.
I think most of them are quit ugly though. Ill stick with my '90 4Runner.

I really like the 70s series, but they are pretty rare around here. Most use 24v electrical. Here is a semi-local place that sells imported japanese 70s
