and will be seeking asylum in the TLC community. Though we still have the Land Rover, we decided a few weeks back to make the move to a Cruiser given that a Dormobile does not make such a great 2nd vehicle for day to day driving, especially during a Canadian winter. Perhaps as compensation for the winters we Canadians get "early" access to some neat JDM vehicles. I decided to take advantage of the situation and so may I present our yet un-named HJ61. (see picture below)
It has many of the goodies that were available on the HJ61's including AC, front/rear full floaters, snazzy velour interior with matching shag carpet and the PTO winch. I must admit that I would have rather had the cable lockers as I have a nice 8274 sitting in the shop but I am coming around to the idea of the PTO version. The biggest thing was finding a 5 speed version. I had seen a couple of autos around but the next step will be a Conqueror (I hope) so the manual seemed a must. Though the Land Rover has style in spades I think the LC will make a much better family vehicle and I am looking forward to our first big adventure with it (whenever that may be).
