I used to have a 74 canvas top with the 4.2 inline 6 I'd take it over either of those

I owned a 70 FJ55 with the six in it. The jack handle was also a hand crank to start it.

The 74 version much better suited to real 4 x 4 territory in Africa, as if something breaks, field repairs will be much simpler.

I prefer the looks of the older one. The new one reminds me of a Range Rover that wealthy people buy and never take off road.

[desbromilow]

I know which one I can work on myself - even on the side of the road for basic repairs.

I've repowered 5 Land Cruisers with small block Chevys. Why? For the money and that's what the client wanted...

[baja]

I repowered mine with a 350 Chevy after a trip towing my travel trailer from Santa Rosa to Albuquerque against a headwind and was over halfway there before I got it over 35. Also picked up 2 miles top the gallon with the changeover. The old six was wearing out anyway having blown an oil filter line in the boondocks and limping in jury rigged.

wtf.... this is like comparing purse colours!
