Thinking about Toyota's Land Cruiser

SoMarvelus · 08-20-2008, 06:35 PM

The truck of trucks. thinking about getting it painting it Red and throwing those Tundra wheels on it. I always loved em, and now love my bro's 99 4runner. b/c gas is so high they are ridiculously cheep. how expensive would it be to convert it to make it run on used restaurant greece, won't make the cabin smell like fish will it. my dream has always been to get a band together and hit the road, in a truck like that we could all fit

4Runner, FTW....

Land Cruiser is nice, but too big IMO. That said, if it's anywhere near as well-designed as the 4R, you'll love it.

As to the red...please no, it looks terrible. Black FTW

yeah, black is the best, but I wanted something to match the Max

so you're gonna buy a 10-year-old Land Cruiser than?

maybe, if I could find a way to make it run on an alternative fuel. toyota hasn't made a hybrid engine that could make it run

No, just french fries.

Last gen 4 runner FTW! Toyota actually sells it as a Land cruiser in other parts of the world because of it's performance and bigger size than the previous models

Nice thing about the FJ80 Cruisers are the optional Front and Rear Locking Diff, imo

my dad had a late model land cruiser and i must say it was the best built suv i have ever been in. bar none.

my dads had one issue but that was because he put 70k+ miles on it in 2yrs

You won't be able to use fry oil unless it's diesel. Even then there are some major caveots. Bio Diesel doesn't work in cold weather (Gels), needs to be well filtered and mixed and from what I understand electric injectors don't like it.

Oh yea black FTW!!!

if I were going to get a land cruiser, I'd go for the original FJ from back in the day, but that's just me..
