    1984 Toyota Land Cruiser

    Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Should the early-to-mid-80s Land Cruisers qualify for this series? I've been seeing a few of them around town, and they always struck me as belonging a bit more to the Maximum Cup Holder Comfy SUV Era than to the Unkillable Warlord Grade Toyota Truck Era. But the RHD Troop Carrier Land Cruiser was made in the 80s, and I noted un-cupholder-esque details such as the locking front hubs on the civilian 60 Series, and the styling on this era's trucks is pretty truckish, so what the heck: here's an '84 Land Cruiser for Truck Monday!
