    My friend Andrew has always had nice cars but this one has been really special and he has taken care of it. We had a gentleman’s agreement that if he ever sold it that I would buy it.

    2002 Toyota 100 Series LandCruiser.

    Well a few weeks before I was due to leave for the Michigan GTG and our US road trip/adventure Andrew came to me and told me he was upgrading.

    So whilst I was driving an R/V across America
    [​IMG]
    Andrew was driving what was soon to be my SUV to Queensland.

    It came back from Queensland last week, It’s been serviced and detailed and I picked it up today.

    1HD-FTE Inline 6, 4.2L intercooled Turbo Diesel.

    Congrats leoht! Bad azz bomb proof rig brother! For those that dont know that 4.2 is considered a million mile motor. Seriously stoked for you Chris!

    I used to have a super nice 1985 bj60 landcruiser I brought over from Canookistan:

    1984_toyota_land_cruiser_fj60_1548527221f9f98764daIMG_8687-940x588.jpg

    Built like a tank and about as fast. There isn't a day that goes by I don't regret selling it.

    I highly recommend it. It's a quick trip over the bridge. Plus $5 American is like 500 Canookistan Loonies! :makeitrain"You can live like a king over there for like $1.50 a day!:rofl: :lol:
