"New" Toy - Off Chassis Restoration - 1969 Toyoda Land Cruiser

This is my uncle's rover sitting in the driveway. It's licensed and runs but needs some clutch work.
Hes 81 and doesn't have the ambition to work on it himself anymore and won't let anyone else touch it.
So there it will sit for awhile.
He's owned it since sometime in the 70's

Joe, while the Toyota was an excellent choice, I think you missed a real opportunity to ride in style the rest of your years.

If you could convince your wife to drive, with you riding in back, this would make for a classic ride!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
