Red Herring · 06-11-05, 11:55 AM

I saw this while out surfing, and thought it might be of interest to some one?

only $18,500 with 335,000 km...
maybe i need to start importing troopies...

how much do you usally sell a normal BJ70 that you get after you go through the hole thing?

crushers · 06-11-05, 05:13 PM

detail "go through the whole thing?"...

Island Moose · 06-11-05, 05:56 PM

Wow is this a surprise, I guess in my drug-addled mind I thought it would someday be possible to consider trading the softie for a troopie (to camp with the family), but that's way more (50% more) than I paid, and I've only got 130K kms. The troopies must be a cult-favorite or something.

Nic · 06-11-05, 06:33 PM

its expensive but a sweet looking truck. i love the troopies

masteryota · 06-12-05, 07:09 AM

In my opinion the 18 500$ is a sentimental price tag!

lshobie · 06-12-05, 07:20 AM

That has to be a real dog with the 3B in it. I love the troopies though.

Looks to be a private sale. If one were to drop in a 13B-T on that rig, it would be about $27k. A bit on the high side, but if the rest of it were in great condition, it would not be an unrealistic price to pay for something that is already fully set-up with a pop-up roof...or am I way out in left field?

Red Herring · 06-12-05, 02:32 PM

Plus... I think it is for sale in the Yukon... might have something to do with the asking price.

Totally agree, very unique and the left hand drive has to be worth a couple grand that a conversion would cost.

I would love that rig if I had the mula.

Any of you guys remember the guy from Ottawa several years back bringing in super clean cruiser?

Nice guy, he is a jeweller by trade and loves cruisers.

Wasn't that one bought by a MUD member not too long ago? Is it for sale again?

There's a huge difference in the price of a unique vehicle...and a very rare vehicle that is fully restored to new condition. Someone with $$$ will buy it.

This BJ75 pick up seems a lot more reasonable. Is the seller on this forum? The name sounds familiar.

It just seems too high given the options available internationally. I realize you'd have to import, but a broker could do that for you. Also, the whole fun of owning these things is the RHD and the uniqueness of it. Anyone who's spooked of this is welcome to come see me for a demo drive...you're going to wonder why you were so hesitant.

11 Seater Troop Carrier 4.2 Ltr Diesel 5 Speed Manual Tow Bar
Sun Rasia Wide Wheel Pack "93"
Very Tidy Unit !
$14990.00AUS

For $30 grand, I'll take this one, 13 years newer with a 1/3 of the kms:

If you were thinking of the eBay auction it didn't hit reserve price, Stone. C'mon, a matching pair would look good in your driveway.

Pimp purchased the 45-LV that was restored by Stephen. This is a 45 troopie that he did.. I wonder what his next cruiser restoration is?

ROTFLMAO!!!

You'd be surprised what can be made from some mine trucks! Right, Wayne?

Dave

Red Herring · 06-12-05, 04:21 PM

We live so close Moosie that we could swap trucks for a day of different dieseling!

Island Moose · 06-12-05, 04:23 PM

Steve, as long as you accept that she's a pavement princess, you're on! Sounds like a another excuse for a beer and hamburger!

Steve was really close to buying my BJ42 for restoration then camp upon a 1982 (I think) FJ40.

Real nice guy, spoken to him a couple of times.

Pimp was the guy I was thinking of...but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the confirmation. So I guess that one isn't Pimp's truck...

well, i have been told that my 97 mine truck does perform quite well and it seems to be able to turn heads easy enough...

now i just hope my other 75 turns out as nice or nicer...
so far, tub redone, new front clip, interior from a LJ71 so comfy factory buckets, PW,PM,PDL, carpet, upgraded dash, painted dash, new top and back, 2 1/2" lift, snorkel, engine is producing 580 575 575 575 580 with excellent oil pressure, new windshield, frame sand blasted, and checking into factory air conditioning, new grill, chrome running boards, front bumper, mirrors, tail lights, etc. and finally a tray back (i think steel with wood floor but not too sure yet)
so all in all it should turn out nice enough for a company beater...
cheers
