This well cared for 25 year old Land Cruiser is one of the very first diesel JDM vehicles to qualify for 100% legal export to the USA from Canada.

1985 BJ73V LandCruiser - White
3.4L 3BII 4cyl Diesel Engine
H55F 5-speed manual transmission
2 door, Mid Wheel base
FRP fully removable top (excellent seals)
Air conditioning
Power steering
Power brakes (disc front, drum rear)
Factory altimeter/tiltometer
Factory PTO winch & bumper
Limo black tinted windows
Chrome running boards (not shown)
(5) 31x10.5x15” tires (comes with stock rims/tires set too)

176,000 Km (~109,300 Mi)
Low mileage for a rig that will easily give 400,000+ miles of service.

Rotary fuel injection pump rebuilt last Winter (fuel additives consistently used). Water pump, thermostat & windshield have been replaced, recored radiator, block heater, new winch cover. Exhaust, starter, power steering & cooling system work. Front knuckle rebuild kit included (if not used on vehicle prior to sale)


Used as a daily driver since importation from Japan. Taken off road 3x since it was built (Surf N Turf 2005, Ruby Lake, AB, Road to Quesnel). NO DAMAGE or even hard use.

Vehicle is located in Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada. Delivery arrangements to be determined - I'm willing to go on a road trip with it if need be. Web cam viewing available.


I have enjoyed driving this truck... it has seen mostly highway miles and has been very reliable. I am selling it because I recently purchased another Cruiser and cannot justify having 5.

Is that the same one as this one? 1985 Land Cruiser BJ73

[RockDoc]

Do believe so.....

Yep. That is Charla's rig. I have a couple of folks here very interested in it at the moment.

I told one of the potential buyers here in Anchorage that I would do the leg work for him on the importing if he buys this Rig from the Rat. So I was checking with EPA and Customs for the proper forms today. For future reference... the losers at EPA were worst than useless. But the folks at customs were great and even had the EPA forms that the EPA droids told me that they could not get except from Washington!

I was amazed at how simple it looks to be to import this rig.

Thanks guys for the comments and the bumps, and not to mention the email inquiries I've received! And Mark, thank you for looking into the required import paperwork.

I've added a few more pics to the album linked in my original post - including the engine and interior shots I promised I'd post.

Incidentally, the 73 is undergoing open heart surgery tomorrow which sees the Webasto being removed and put into the 77. Should be fun!

That Craigslist link that Cruiseninak posted is dead. Some jerk keeps flagging my ad there. This is the current one. Nothing in it that is not in the Rat's post at the top except a couple more pics from her gallery.

Ms. Puke
I like your rig as it doesn't have a snorkle.
Your description doesn't mention lockers, so I'll presume the diffs are open.
Body looks good. Any rust?
Good luck with a speedy sale!

Mr. P. B,

Thank you. As far as I'm concerned, there is no need to put a snorkel on a DD... unless perhaps you live on an island and need to commute to work during non-winter months.

The diffs are indeed open.

Body is dent free. Slight rust along the bottom of the front doors. Small area in each of the front door jams, and small spot on the hood. No real concerns. I'll PM you a link to some pics of the body. I could go ahead and get some body work done; however, I'd rather the next owner see the truck as is so s/he will know I'm not trying to cover anything up with a fresh coat of paint.

Thanks,
Ms. Puke
