Landcrusier BJ74 Mid wheelbase FRP roof-Newbie

Post by joeninetynz »

My recently passed father-in-law has leave me his 86 Crusier . So I'm a newbie in the toyota ways.

She's an automatic, with a PDO winch on the front.

What mileage would be expecting get from a 3.4 Diesel turbo?

Will be using it for hunting and pulling a boat. She's got a 136K on the clock. Should keep her or let her go?

Any pointer to keep the maintenace on her would be great.

Cheers
Dirty Bugger!

with a 136,000 km on the clock this would have at least 3 times that left in it so i would keep it.
Toyota suggest that the oil is changed every 15,000 km and a filter every 7500 km BUT I suggest doing both every 10000 km or even both every 5000 km if it is being used hard, gearbox,transfer and diffs every 50,000 km, grease driveshaft universals,spring shackels every 5000 km.
It should last many many years
