I guess thats the difference between throwing money at it and spending money on it.

R/C comes to mind.......remote CONTROL...........
they make fjs these days,
but good luck getting a real one for a G, might need to sell some goats.. .

4bys especially the old cruisers are money pits, love mine, but damn cost me MONEY. lots and lots of money.

A little sus, but it's a virgin IP - looks like a Telstra mobile device.

Play nice.

You could find a project 40 for 1k. But it'd work out cheaper in the long run to buy one that actually goes I would think.

But you should just buy a 60 and get all the things your going to want to add to your 40 as standard

i paid $300 for a 40 that went. but not real well.
but i agree save and buy something better. or go RC.

or you would get all your gear for lawn bowls for under 1k. thats a good sport for you.

Suzuki sierra ..

GQ patrol. Ugly but.

Wagons definetly do!

If you want cheap then x2 on sierra, I bought some stuff for my missus sierra from the states last night and Ive bought the landcruiser equivalent not long ago.

Sierra 4.15:1 transfer gear= $500 ish
Cruiser 4:1 transfer gears = $1400 ish

Sierra Chromo cv's/axles = $300 ish
Longfields = $700 ish

That's just stuff Ive noticed since i've been buy stuff for the suzi.

Alt+F4 for special cheap 4x4 menu option screen.

Ok I kid...

Cheap 4x4 links

thanks for all the help!......but the 1K was a guideline willing to spend more, i dont mind what condition it is, also expanding the parameters some more i would love a GQ shorty as well

prepare to spend alot on other than a suzuki, cheap, and parts the same.

cruiser, patrols are expensive, repair, maintain and upgrade.
you only have to ask anyone here, toys are expensive, especially with 2 diffs, extra box......transfer, we all want more power, bigger tyres, winch, lr tank, suspension...

you sure you know what your getting yourself into, money pits...... but damn worth every cent of FUN!!
driving a knarly hill climb,
or creek crossings no one else is prepared to go through me first
budget 5g to get it up and running, registered and mechanicaly sound then 10g on mods..tyres, lift, uhf, suspension, snorkel, exhaust.. goes on and on...... more power,

I'm interested in the same type of thing!

looking at the BJ42 though, and one that's able to be driven straight away! (able to be registered with minimal work to be done!)
I have to agree with the other comments here that they are expensive! I can't find anything suitable for much under $7k
sure there's some come up on Ebay, but mostly they seem to be over-priced rust-buckets! (I'd be happy with a REASONABLY-priced rust-bucket !! .. they ARE 30 years old after all)

I'm thinking now that I might have to settle for one of the billion Sierra's that are for sale around here and go to work removing the girly flower stickers and pink fluffy seat covers that seem to have come as standard!!

But, schools still in.

Sorry mods I just reckon somethings crook in tookarook at the moment and it could cost genuine new members our support.

The 40 is basically a classic, hence pricing. Same as anything that is an icon !!

I agree with everything you say.

Unfortunately, here in Australia, people are innocent until proven guilty, and there's no hard evidence of mischief.

We'll keep watching, but it's the admin team who ultimately decide who's legit and who's not. Until they conclude otherwise, please play nice.

Yes Mum

Oh and Zieg heil

Perhaps a malvern star ? and could prob get a water bottle and pump for that coin ? How much coin do you have to spend on it ?

I got a landcruiser you can have for a thousand bucks
