What other old 4x4s would you want in your collection?

Post by plasticboob »

This might be taboo on a FSJ site, but I absolutely LOVE late '60s up to mid-'70s SUVs. I really love just about all of them - the Ramchargers, Blazers, Scouts. I'm into slightly rare or uncommon (quirky??) things however, so I've always loved these two especially. Though I honestly like the look of my Cherokee more, if I'm ever rich some day I'd definitely like to snatch up these two, just to have a small collection of vintage early '70s wagons.

What about you guys? Any non-Jeep 4x4s you'd like to get your hands on?

I just about fainted when I saw this one - FJ-55 Land Cruiser (probably the ONLY Toyota I would ever buy, lol) :shock: :

I worked for a guy who sold repo'd cars on ebay when I was a kid - he got a lot of rare/quirky stuff, so that's when I was introduced to the FJ. I drove (sold) one with a Chevy 350/4 speed:

Willys wagon or Willys pickup. Old Land rovers like in your post. Jeep Commando Pre Bronco looking grille, 1971? . Old Dodge Power wagons 1940's -60's. A 1977 Dodge Power Wagon with the Sno fighter option. Had one of those and I liked it. J20 and a Cherokee Chief 77 and up. A Cherokee that looks like the one Plastic Boob has in his avatar. Old first gen Bronco, 60's - 70's. One of those army jeep pickups M175? A old Toyota pickup HiLux or SR5. I'm sure I'm missing a few.

yeah i was going to say Travelall. That's what first came to mind. Must be lifted however. :)

I like that style of Land Cruisers. I dig the older Series I/II Land Rovers. Also fond of the old Broncos.

I dig just about anything from back in the day... My top non-jeep choice would be and old school Land Rover. Like many of my favorite jeeps, they are classic and timeless.

If it isn't a Jeep, I would have an International. Could be a Scout, or a pick-up. Probably from the early 70's.

Landcruisers had solid axles, coil springs, lockers front/rear and FF rear axles until '98. Then they had all that stuff minus the front lockers and IFS. They are awesome vehicles - you have to 'wheel them to appreciate them.

Defender.

I also like the early Broncos, and the Traveler -

Image

The Patrol is such an oddball, I'd be afraid to drive it. And all the Toyotas seem bulky and unresponsive compared to similar Jeeps.

I believe the 80 series is the last live-axle LC -

Image

Also sold as the Lexus LX 450 - with typical upscale stuff. Both very capable, supposedly.

I'd want a flatty first though - but that's a Jeep.

The '68 I got from my friend Brian will be for sale. I pulled the tired 6 and 4 speed. I was looking for AMC V8 or I-6 in IH motor mounts for it. I have an IH304/BW auto from a '66 T/A 2wd I parted but they are gas hogs and I can't find those mounts either (2wd and 4x4 are even different frames) I really wanted to put the spare 4.0L/AW4 I have in it.
