    I have a question...

    Howcome places like North Africa have so many 40's and 60's which you see in photos in the middle of nowhere?

    Do they have extra gas tanks in them?

    I don't know about them, but I get about 100 - 130 miles to the tank before I seriously gotta fill up again with how small my gas tank is.

    I couldn't even drive a stretch of New Mexico without running out of gas.

    How do they do it?

    Or maybe my 40 has a tiny gas tank?

    Your 40 runs on gasoline or diesel?
    My Bandeirante has a Mercedes Benz diesel engine and with the original tank (45L/12gal) it used to do about 450km (280mi) a tank.
    Now that I have 2 tanks, I can drive more then 800 miles without having to refill.

    Default My new Land Cruiser!

    Just wanted to share my new project. Its a New Mexico 1983 FJ 60. Faded paint cracked dash but no rust and runs great! I have been looking for one for a bit and finally found the right one. Look for a build after the sumer.

    A lot of 60's like 80's have a 2nd tank...the old pickups simply carry a couple of jerrycans in the back!

    Gosh. Not your typical pose in front of your cruiser. Glad he kept his clothes on.

    No? So much for that idea. I had RyRy and others lined up for the new 'Men of Wasatch Cruisers' calendar. Was hoping you were going to shoot the photos
