Those are some pretty fancy red X's.

[TACO 4X4]

The 2nd red X down is my favorite.

[Dick Foster]

I was partial to the 4th.

[Tatunka]

Man that is sweet, drool...(4th X from the bottom)

[Dick Foster]

Yeah, they just don't make them like that anymore. LOL

5 pics

1. Apparently villagephotos doesn't allow hot linking. Try photobucket. (edit - oops! I guess it does now. Time to take them out to save space and bandwidth)

2. There is nothing special about those rigs. Potential is great though!

3. The first two pics are :xbarf:

4. I like the next two, the pickup version is pretty cool, but the bed looks like it is from a different vehicle.

5. the K&N fipk... well, that speaks for itself. :D

[ShowStop]

lots of red X's...

Great...now nobody gets to see them. :rolleyes:

[Oppositeboy]

They were from the 70's. Looked stock, except there was a pic with a FIPK.

And why is this your favorite Land Cruiser?

[Xray2002]

And why is this your favorite Land Cruiser?

Because no advanced technology also low maintenance vehicle can be trusted any time any where .

[mountainpete]

XRay, these are fairly new and South American models aren't they? If they are, they aren't as reliable as the Cruisers available in Australia.

[mountainpete]

Oversight... saw the model years listed in the pics now. They are new so they must be South American models...

[Buck]

i cant tell from the pics, do the south american models have solid front axle?

[mountainpete]

I believe some of the 70 series style sold there do have solid front axles.

[Xray2002]

No not south American models its Saudi Arabia models infact toyota company still manufacture same models specially for Saudi Arabia due to high demand on the asme models.
The prices of brand new starting from $24000 up to $29600 depend of the accessories you request.

[mountainpete]

Saudi Cruisers? Cool... never knew they were doing left hand drive 70 series there. Are you sure they are actually made by Toyota in Japan or are the licenced out to a local factory?

[Xray2002]

I'm sure its manufacture in japan and assemble in Saudi Arabia

[98TACOMA]

I'm sure its manufacture in japan and assemble in Saudi Arabia
Now why couldn't Toyota offer that here in the U.S.?
I know they would have to change the bumpers,install airbags,and put emissions crap on.But dam I'd rather have a 4500 than that blue POS that they want to build.Can't TTORA try to convince Toyota to sell some of these here.They are getting so much into the american "Yuppie" market first with the new 4runner,then the new 4x4 STREET Tacoma,now the Honda,Saturn style Landcruiser losermobile.
Let's let them know we want some real 4x4's in America.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy - there are crash testing standards, dealer inventories (incld parts), training and on and on that make it not easy to bring a whole new vehicle into North America. Even if they sold only a few here, people would start complaining that parts are slow or service is poor. And other than a small core group of off-roaders like us, the reality is that most people want more comfort, power and asthetics than what those Cruisers give. That's why the new concept Cruiser looks the way it does. It bites, but it's reality.

But did you know that Toyota actually does still import new 70 series into US & Canada? They are used off-road only in mining operations. Most are diesel traybacks and spend their lives hauling people and tools in and out of service tunnels. Too bad they are virutally impossible to register even if a mining company sells you one. There was even a case where someone here in Canada bought one and re-registered in under a different Cruiser VIN. The government tracked down the truck and crushed it. Sad, sad day.

Yeah,Americans first questions to the dealer when they are buying an SUV are "Are those heated leather seats?" and Can I fit 24's on it?"

Makes me wish I could have afforded to hold onto the old Grand Wagoneer - which I had to sell to get the new Tacoma. That Wag had solid axles, hotchkiss suspension, and a heavy duty tranny and transfer case. Of course, the big drawbacks were all the servos and switches from the 80s that would die.

One day, I'll get another Wagoneer, but from the 70's.

In the meantime, I'm thrilled with the Tacoma.

[peekay331]

i drove one of these last month for 10 straight days in costa rica. unbelievable torque. i could start from a standstill in 4th gear. 1st gear was almost useless for street- 2nd gear starts were normal. 4-lo was amazing. the thing climbs like a goat and f/r lockers didnt hurt. also super-versatile as the rear jump seats could be folded up. perfect size-shorter than a taco, smaller than a bronco, but slightly bigger than a jeep wrangler.

but it wouldnt survive on our freeways here in the states. i was going about 100km (roughly 60mph) and the thing sounded like it was going to explode. unless it was a strict trail rig, it would either need to be regeared or have a 8 speed transmission to be usable here.

[tbrown]

I want one, this is just not fair. :mad:

[Xray2002]

What model?
is it 4500cc?
look like driven very old truck.

[Arsenal]

looks like a 78 series LC, one of my favs.

[peekay331]

it was a 2004 model. it had a 4.x non-turbo diesel with a 5 speed manual tranny. it was almost weird bc it had the old school toyota hivac controls, kind of like the kind you find in the 84-88 generation trucks.

[3jooom]
