just brought this BIG toy went and looked at it last week and decided to buy it picking it up tuesday hopefully so if you want more pics you will have to wait till then

anyway its a 1984 fj45 lwb troopy, factory power steer and disc brake, split tcase, full floater rear, thomas pto winch thats in need of repair

in quite good condition some rust in the gutter and soem in the passanger floor but all easily fixed once i get it home

its also running on dual fuel propane and petrol and ill most likley convert it to straight propane

brought this to use as a tow vehicle for my swb 40 that im building into a buggy for comps here down in oz

What is going on with those passenger side wheels? Are they steel? does the PTO Winch work? The cable wrapped around the kangaroo guard, makes me ask. If it doesn't work, just send the rig to me in Virginia, I'll sort it out and return the rig to ya... Nice score. I'm jealous.

Geez why did we never get these cool options here in the U.S.?

My congratulations! Very nice expedition rig! Even has stock snorkel, but with safari air ram.

green73:
i saw a lot of competition guys who wrap cable around bumpers/guards - when you winch a lot during race this is for faster storing of cable - to not waste time to wind from and back on winch drum, watching it to lay properly. Or in this case it could be because of excessive length of cable. Or you right - winch not working...

After 12 ours on mid shift and a few beers I was doing good to try spelling correctly let alone read and comprehend Thanks, now I fit the stereotype of the Mississippi education system.

i had looked at that one months ago, but the PO was a bit of a cock head and was not at all interested in dealing with canadians.

if he had only been a little nicer...

well i went and picked up the troopy today
200kays there 200kays home driving it drove well except my friend who was following me decided to wait till i got home to tell me that i had NO BRAKE LIGHTS GRR

apart from that and a minor starting issue it drove well and cruised happily at 110kmph all the way home

started tearign into the dodgy stuff the PO had done like the 6 yes 6 antenna mounts and wires on the bullbar just chopped all but 1 off as i have a cb in the shed ill throw in it

checked out the winch and its in need if major restore main shaft is snapped and looks like all the oil seals in it are fubar luckly i have a complete spare pto setup so ill just swap heads then rebuild this when time permits then might fit a rear pto would be good for haulin my future rock crawler up onto the trailer if it s***s itself

some bad rust in the drivers side b pillar on the inside is rusted away the top 1-2inches so ill have to chop and repair that asap

other than that im quite happy
gonna throw on my 31" muddies for now as the tyres on it are fubar prolly get some 33's eventually

will get some pics tomorrow in daylight fo everyone to check out

 

[crustyBJ60]
