Hey everyone! I wanted to start a build thread to document my journey with my HJ47 Land Cruiser.
I traded my old 80 series for this truck on a whim. I wanted to really wanted to take on a challenging project. The truck definitely needs some love and restoration but, I think that she has some great potential.
Here is some information and my (goals):
-It's a long wheel base Australian pickup. (Goal is to build a rack in the rear for mounting my spare and tent)
-4.0 Inline 6 Diesel with 180km on the clock
- 4 speed manual transmission
-Dual fuel tank with a combined 42 gallon capacity
- 22-24 mpg so far
- Rear ARB Locker
- 33" General Grabbers
I travel quite a bit for work but I hope to keep steady updates on my build and trips.
This is the day I got her:
