Here is a place to talk about HJ45's and 4x4 driving for the hell of it!

Hi William ( burke a lot )

Saw that photo of your old cruiser and it bought back memories. Had one myself many years ago ; it was my 3rd vehicle. Mine was a 1977 model with a four speed gearbox. Is that the same as your one.

Yes you are right the HJ 45 is a real 4x4 but you have to compare it with the new 79 series V8 now not the 200 series. I think the new 79 series would be a better vehicle all round but time will tell.

Regards Tony

Yea same one as mine! but soon to be putting a 350 chev into her! a bit extra grunt! looking at around 400HP!

Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and have just got the LC 200 TTD over 1 month ago. I did read about the car not engaging 6th gear unless the speed was over 120kph before I got the car.

I haven't found this to be a problem and 6th gear is usually engaged by 110-115kph. I noticed if the car is in 5th gear and I accelerate to about 120 then back off the accelerator to around 100kph it will shift up to and stay in 6th gear at 100kph.

Very happy with the car and its been great for towing

what r they like as a 4x4?!? not as good an old FJ45!
