1988 BJ74 5speed. Factory Lockers & more. Loaded & ready to go
Well, I have been thinking about downsizing for awhile now. I love this truck so much it's taken me about 4 months to even list it on here. Its a 1988 BJ74. It stones old truck. Its treated me well, and has been a joy to drive. I loved my BJ60 & HDJ81, but I think this has been my favorite cruiser yet. I am thinking about downsizing, (probably to a suzuki) and paying off debt. The truck has been well cared for and had regular fluid changes etc...
The Good:
13B-T turbo diesel with 157,xxx kms
5-speed
Factory cable lockers
2.5" Terrain Tamer lift
Safari Snorkel
Donaldson Pre-filter
PTO winch
Aussie Aluminum Bull bar
IPF front lights
Isspro pyro & boost guage
Rock lights under front bumper
LHD Hella H4 headlight enclosures (DOT & SAE approved)
Extra DOT side marker lights.
2 brand new batteries
12/24v solar converter (with switch to flip between Straight convert and balance mode)
12v fuse box and 12v power
Alarm & Immobilizer
Rear rails added to FTP top for roof rack (professionally installed).
Pioneer Premier CD player with new speakers (sounds good).
Cobra CB radio
Power mirrors
AC blows nice and cold. Recently recharged with R12 even though it was still good.
Hood Line-x'd to match paint (very nice)
255/85/16 AT tires on factory rims
Proper speedo correction installed
Full size spare tire.
1.5" wheel spacers
All glass is good. No chips or anything
New 4 core toyota radiator
Lower rad hose heater.
Factory Suspension seats (not installed yet. Got from G&S.)
Custom rear bumper
4plug wiring for trailer
Rear seat belts from BJ60 (don't think stock BJ74 have them).
Manuals (Factory Toyota Body & Chassis & Spector B series engine).
Thats all I can think of right now. I am sure I am missing some stuff. I will add as I think of it.
**********UPDATE**********
Forgot to mention these things:
-- Has "Wilson" switch glow screen bypass for cold starting (works great).
-- Has documented history since import of Dec 2004 and 75xxx KM's.
-- 24V spare light kit from 4wheel atuo (lots of extra lights for the truck)
The Bad:
Bit of rust over the wheel wheels (see pics). Not to bad yet, but I want to be honest. And some rust in the rockers where the seams meet. This is a very common spot. The good news is, no bodywork or bondo, so what you see is what you get. Nothing is hidden. Leaky rear main seal (leaks a little, but not enough to register on the dip stick between changes). The oil pressure guage also stopped working. Not sure what it is yet.
Possible extras:
I have my 255/85/16 BFG mud terrains on black aluminum rims.
If you wanted these to we could work them in.
Who should buy this truck:
You want a cruiser and want to use it. You want to go places, and not just to the mall. You know all those extras cost a lot of money to buy (get it in a package for less). You probably shouldn't buy this truck you want a mint condition truck for town only. Why the truck is in very good shape, it could be better (pin stripping etc, little rust etc..).
I should also mention. I am not a mud bogger or rock crawler. I am more into exploring.
Which means lots of old roads. If mud and snow are on the road, so be it.
its fun.
But it I don't go looking for it to bag my truck. So this truck has not been abused by me (nor Stone).
In Japan I think it was more of a street cruiser. So why its been used, it hasn't been abused.
(I am also anal about letting the turbo cool before shut off etc..)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I will consider all offers. But I don't have to sell, so please no lowballs.
The parts value of this truck is more than I am asking.
SOLD
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Nick.
