I am a Landcruiser Nerd.  I don’t tape on my glasses, or wear a shirt pocket pen holder…<\/p>\n

But – I do live and dream about landcruisers, and have a few in my yard.  For the number of times that people have asked – “How many landcruisers do you have ?”, had they given me 1$ – I could have bought another one. !<\/p>\n

Yes, I do have a few, and am still looking at landcruisers for sale.  One day a few weeks ago one caught my eye.  It is a 1984 BJ60 that had been converted to a pickup (Australian ‘Ute’).

It hasn’t changed much. The paint is more dull, a bit more dirty, door corners are rusty. It even had the same roof rack (which I have since removed). <\/p>\n

During that time it was in Lytton BC and Salmo BC with two different owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
