Bought the Landcruiser...

 









I had been looking for one of these for a while. A 60 series diesel Landcruiser wagon. I might have over paid a bit considering that it had over 500,000 km on it and a few issues, but the engine seems to run good.  When I went to look at it the batteries were dead and it was not charging, so they had to bump start it. I made a deal with the owner and so they put two new batteries and a new alternator before I bought it.

She's a 1986 with the H2 inline 6 diesel engine and 5 speed manual transmission. It's got a 24 volt electrical system.













 
 
So it has a few issues... One thing I noticed right away on the drive home was that the fuel gauge wasn't working.
