Wait for it. They are tough and they last forever. The FJ55 in Kenya has a new body for Tourist Game Viewing. All we did to the engine is a carbuerator overhaul kit. It has a straight six like the Buick 6's of the old days. 4 on the floor and a transfer case. It's all anyone ever needs. The...
Yes it is the only game in town. The QUALITY build on the Ford and Jeeps is awful. Just ask the Uber drivers in any big city. The Land Rover Ranger is a town car, not an off road thing. The drivers are mostly women in the suburbs. Our Land Cruisers are made for off road regardless how you use...
I have an FJ55 in Kenya and a 2005 FJ here. That FJ is pure Land Cruiser. I have to say I am suspicious of the 1958 soley because it is a computer now and not a tough Land Cruiser with a high low 4w lever. We don't even have a parking break handle which is now electronic. God help us if we lose...
There are wonderful trickle charger available everywhere that do an amp or 1.5 amps. I have used them for years on all my vehicles because....they live on a ranch and I don't except in Spring Summer. With the New 1958 the battery disappeared to the rear left side and I stuck a trickle charger...
I am not sure if posting in the correct place. I remover the stock road tires and put the All Terrain tires on for mud and snow and bad weather. It lives on a ranch. I crossed the Sahara in 1972 in Land Rovers in those days and we did not go chasing up dunes. WE did carry sand ladders however...
It has to be simple thing. Too much electronics is bad, especially in a Land. Cruiser which is truly not a road car although that's where most live in the US. In East Africa I bet the new ones don't have all this nonsense. MY
FJ55 is still working there, we did do a carburetor overhall a year...
Well it's a land cruiser and I always wear a belt but on a ranch passing through gates I would rather not have to belt up each time. It never was a liability issue for the 2005 or my Tundra. Now it's a problem
I have scraped off the wires to drivers seatbelt. There is a pair of black wires. There is a pair of white and green.
I am assuming the black wires shorted will kill the seatbelt bells on the driver side. Opening gates and sucn on a ranch
are a pain with the seatbelt bells and the dealer won't...
