I had a hzj75 I called lance years back. Cool ute.

I had a 1976 fj40 back in 87 - 91 and loved it. If your modern beast is the same you'll really enjoy adjusting the front brakes, just be ready to loose some skin 🤣🤣 we'll be watching the build .

Nice, 8.25r16 tyres would be good on that good for hwy and clearance.

Yeah Mate I ended up with something similar. Check out our other channel STS GARAGE heaps of content on old Lance

Love it mate! Can’t wait to see the build vids 😍 We are doing the lap of Aus in our 1977 Fj45 and it is so much fun! 😁 Liked and subscribed! 👍🍻🤙

Thanks mate and yes I’m straight into it next ep on the weekend 👍🏼

What a beauty. Good buying

So glad you aren't changing out that bullbar. That's what makes it an iconic rig. Love the videos, keep up the great content.

Cheers guys. Agree the bull at has to stay 🤙🏼

What an awesome old rig man…so cool. Wether you’re a Toyota person or not, if you don’t like an old 45 you need to check your pulse.

Beauty, I think Fab Rats did a resurection on that model last year, bit of a rock crawler daily driver. You tube videos cover most of the build.

Great video mate

I am soooo in agreeance with your views on new and electronic/ electric vehicles They are just not me … I have done so many miles in these old girls and that’s why I love em too !!!

Mr Landcruiser might be handy for getting bits.

great project and looking forward to seeing it come together. Mr Landcruiser will become your BFF for sure. Check out the Patriot Games FJ49 build, if you haven't seen it. Well done

Now this I’m looking forward to

I would recommend disc brake front end power steer and 5 speed conversion I owned a BJ 42 with these options and it was fantastic Cheers

Cool ep and Lovely old 4wds she should come up a treat. My dad and brother had a few of theses old girls back in the day all new, Great farm 4wds, The girlfriend now wife and I bought a green HJ47 -1982 with 188, 000ks on it we did 350,000ks in it around the farm and travelling all over QLD and to NSW, VIc, SA the centre and Cape York and the Gulf QLD and NT camping for months at a time and fishing. and we did Fraser and DI many times, great farm trucks but not so good as for touring with out front Discs brakes and power steering which we did not have. But we made do our old girl got 20mile to the gallon day in day out. , Oh they leek oil from the tranfur box into the gearbox, theres a hose kit you buy goes from bung to bung, if hard to start at first just put a jumper lead from the battery to the glow plug rail to glow that bit longer, Enjoy the rebuild,

Does it have a sun visor yet ? And do you have a farm to put it on ?

@SmartTouringSystems

😜 na the sun visor would be the go, and no farm work, just general day to day duties and the odd firewood run.

enjoy it !!!! and stop justifying it.... you paid for it and people will always say things
