Hi from Denmark:)

[Anders Ernst]

Hello, my name is Anders, 20 years old. Im living in Denmark just nearby Legoland

Im totally new in four by fours, until now I have only had them in 1:10 (me and the guys in the local club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GRk0ZO0 ... ature=plcp), which is also a lot of fun, but with the 1:1's I am already sold.

Just bought myself a 1987 Land Cruiser LJ70 2,4TD with 386.000km on the clock.

It needs quite a loving hand, especially when it comes to rust (but having driven old VW's for a couple of years have given me quite a lot of experience in that disciplin)

Except for that, my plan is to make it ready for some more serious offroad.
That includes:

Aussielocker in the front diff. (have spoken to a couple of danes, who has good experiences with them, and the price is not anywhere near airlockers)
Larger tires (think I'm going for 33" BFG M/T KM2, I don't think that the little engine can handle any more)
HDJ80 springs for lift.
2" bodylift.
A winch, and properly more later on.

And of course a couple of pics of the animal

Should there be anyone in here who has workshopmanuals, of just any kind of papers about the LJ70, I'd be glad if i could have a copy on [email protected]

Cheers

I can imagine, I've also already gone through the tread about his fantastic project

Welcome Anders, great little RC models and so well filmed they look almost real

Thanks, actually my RC Defenders i think is worth more than my Cruiser

But LR is fine for scale models, but in the real world, i go for Toyota

Welcome

Spent quite a bit time in Denmark working.

Is there not a restriction on lift kits over there?

 

[Julian T]

Hi and thankks, in Denmark we have restrictions for everything, actually some times, i doubt that you are alowed to have a car. You can't lift it, you can't change the engine, actually even my 31" inch tires are illegal, you can't change the exhaust, you must not fit more than 4 extra lights, and so on and on.
Besides that it cost's a fortune. We pay a tax due to the weight of the veichle, which alone is around 450£ a year, and also my insurance (only covering the damage i can do to others) is around 1600£ a year, with 2 years not doing any damage..

Thanks

Thanks Yes the restrictions are not very friendly indeed, but rules are to be broken

I'm already working on taking some pictures for a new thread. I'm currently working on the rust at the edge of the roof. So pictures will come soon.

Welcome! Nice truck!

Thanks to you too
