Maybe someday I can have a place for a toy like this
Would be great to explore the hill with, probably not the daily driver however:eek:
Would need to be a different color to join my fleet.

I've owned several over the years (learned to drive in my dad's 1966 FJ40). I have also logged several hundred thousand miles in "company" FJ40s as well. Not the best Freeway machine (kinda like herding cats), but once you leave the pavement, you are in IT'S true element.

Does that say $26,500?
I will always have a place in my heart for my Land Rover. It could go anywhere, work under the worst conditions and with periodic tightening of the bolts held together over some of the worst roads and worse...

Are you saying 80mph traversing I-80 would be an adventure?

My goodness, who gets to come to work in shorts and sandals? Answer - apparently nearly everybody during the 1960's
Man, does that brings back a flood of memories. Drove one of those around the deserts of Saudi for 3 seasons in the late 70's. Thing is a tank off road, indestructible. Think I once got it up to 80 on pavement, but was sure I was about to die.

Actually this was "Land Rover school" in Niamey, Republique du Niger in 1976.

All that's missing is the machete :scream::scream::scream:
I owned a Land Cruiser wagon for a few years in the 80's. One of the previous owner had put oversize tired on, disconnected the a/c, and put on a Holly Carb (no other engine modifications I was aware of).
I got it up to about 70-80 area once or twice. Could smell something heating up pretty good (probably transmission). As has been said, best used off road.
Edit: mine looked similar to this except with larger tires.

That picture looks like it was taken before McDonald's and Burger King hit the region.

I Worked out of one of those in '76. Not big enough, lousy mileage, bad on the road, but did well off road.
