The Toyota Landcruiser Owners Club

Hi guys,

I'm a recent convert from ITOCUK (Isuz Trooper owners) having just purchased a 1994 SX Prado, 3.0TD.

Must say I've been quite a fan of the 70s since I was a youngster   Came close to purchasing one on a couple of occasions, but as the old saying goes "you snooze you loose". So 1 Land Rover, and 3 Isuzus later, I finally have the dream car parked in the shed  

It's a fantastic truck! Feels very strong and stable. The engine, although supposidly slightly smaller to the Isuzu, leaves the poor old 3.1 Isuzu for dead!  

Looking forward to meeting some like'minded people, and of course finding out more about this motor I've invested in, lol.

Cheers,
Mike.

Hmm, you guys sure are quiet, lol  

Have just spent a little over 1K on some new tread. Decided to go with GoodYear Wrangler ATR's again plus the wheel alignment.

Will have a look around the forum to try and get my post level higher so I can upload (paste links to) pictures of the beast  

Perhaps a little more info about myself:
Primary school teacher, teache at a rural primary school 10 minutes from home. Half English, half Kiwi - same goes for my citizenship, both British and NZ.

I've only ever owned 4x4s, wouldn't own anything else. Here's the list of vehicles I've owned in order.
1. 1988 Isuzu Trooper 2.6L petrol - assembled by General Motors NZ.
2. 1996 Land Rover Discovery 3.9 petrol - sold as was too expensive to run!  
3. 1990 Isuzu Bighorn Irmscher 2.8TDI - written off in an accident.
4. 1996 Isuzu Wizard LTD 3.1TD - same as a Vauxhall Frontera - currently for sale sitting in the driveway.
5. 1994 Toyota Landcruiser Prado SX - 3.0TD - the best out of the lot!

Hiya Mike,

Welcome to the club. Sorry it is a bit quiet on here, I stumbled over the tumbleweed to answer your post     The member base is increasing slowly but surely with a lot of good quality posts  
Your input would be most welcome, especially from a NZ point of view.

Glad you like the landcruiser  I bought the 80 a few years ago and am normally wanting to change by now but there is no chance of that, unless it is for another Landcruiser
