Polyair or others.........

Yes Banjo, Trucksprings are the go from the US. polyair in my opinion are way overpriced!!! Michael

Yup I got mine from struckspings and what a hell of a massive saving, instructions and service from them was fantastic and they came in the exact box that ARB sell off the shelf but they were less than half the price!

Hi Eric, it was a general question but thanks for reminding me that its horses for courses.
60 series....I didn't realize that any had survived the car cancer.:))))

Hang on a second, I've got a 60 in mint condition & it might be a 1983 model, but it doesn't have a oil leak & starts first time & I know the trusty 2H (Turbo) will never fail me like some of those 3 ltr Nissans !

Mine is a 1985 after market turbo and now only 250,000 on the clock.
I bought it 4 year ago with 100,000 on the clock and in mint condition.
I paid way to much for it more than when they first come of the assembly line. But to own a bit of history what can I say.

Priscilla as she is know has done the cape about 12 times now the Victorian high country the Simpson and many other trips.
If you go to our web page there she is on the front page.

Betsy my previous 60 is up to about 500,000 odd ks now and has retired to Coen FNQ for a more casual life.

Ok I'll fess up, I actually loved my HJ60. Did 400,00k in it. Just about lived in it. Almost drowned it in the Bloomfield. I didn't even change the oil once for so long that it was sludge ...bit of kero, a few oil changes and good as new. It was virtually bullet proof. Changed one radiator, fuel pump, clutch and a rubber bit in the pump, I think that was it.Took it a lot of places that I can't afford the fuel to go back to :((
But the rust got to it. There was only 1 undesirable thing about that vehicle. it had SPRINGS and oh my b*m.

Mine is a Sahara manual with after market AIT Turbo ( fitted in Townsville about 10 years ago ). has now done 246,000 K's, and yes it rides hard for sure, but I won't get rid of it as the only money I have spent was on the diff two years ago, ($240) so I can't complain. The vehicle has been rustproofed from new & garaged since I bought it. I think these are one of the best old vehicles around for reliability. I am always getting complemented on the condition of the vehicle for it's age & getting offers to buy it. I also have a CRDi Terracan which will leave the old codger for dead in performance, but I know which one goes out West for the porkers & the rough stuff. Had a head on with a late model car at low speed ( not my fault) & the only damage was a one inch piece of powdercoat off the ARB, the other vehicle $3,500, can't see the Hyundai being so lucky.

Speaking of Landcruisers - one of the ARB stores was on community TV here in SA the other night - they got a LC and completely stripped it - rebuilt every facet of the thing and then added heaps of their goodies - they take it to shows apparently as a promo - not a 100 - not an 80 - it is a 60 ! They're coming back ?

Banjo they they have been around for along time people just forgot about them but when they see them again often say I wished they hadn't got rid of there's.

Indeed Eric - I saw quite a lot on a recent bush trip in Central Oz - starting to notice a few in the urban areas too - obviously being restored.

There are 2 types of 60s owners those who already own one those who wish they did. LOL

All the best
Eric

I wished I had one without the rust, and with coil suspension. I rubbed a bottle I found and guess what came out ? A series 80 ! heheheheh

Sheps,

Posting this on the Lux forum, I am after the same thing for my 03
