Thread: It was Cruiser day today :0

If you do have the rare occasion to pass another 40 series cruiser on the way back to work tomorrow be sure to wave , Just like in a Landy you will most likely get a return wave back too.

If the steering is that vague It might need a new centre arm kit (steering relay in a LR) as per

True, I reckon so this one also looks the part; full racks, rear ladder, longrange tanks, big steel bar, stained NT dirt colours obligatory diesel stains down the side, bit of a classic look for one of these old rigs.

ahh my first 4x4, a HJ47 troopy. Ex telecom, ex lines vehicle. Held 180lt of Diesel. Your right about no suspension. No power steering either, FA comfort and send you deaf after a few hours. Can't say I miss it that much,

My first 4x4 was a HZJ75 troopy with a pop-top. Still miss that old girl sometimes

Center Arm teardown on my 78 FJ40.[/QUOTE]

it is getting one, along with a transfer case rebuild due to only having 250ml of oil in it, (It was LEAKING) and a full set of shock rubbers and wheel bearing service in a fortnights time

Slightly off topic, but I'd read about this man's troubles with his landcruiser utes and then I literally bumped into him

But what I don't understand is, if you have trouble with one ute why buy another

I loved them for SES, not too many vehicles that can carry 10 people and a roof rack full of gear and get down narrow off road tracks.

Unfortunately the government won't buy them anymore because of the side facing rear seats and no curtain airbags....sheesh. So we have a Pajero
