A couple pix from Okinawa (1 Viewer)

[green73]

A couple pix of an HZJ73 on Kadena AFB. It is a nicely done SOA. Front axle is also a high pinion one too. I don't know if it's stock as I am ignorant on most details for these model rigs. In the background is a stock BJ74.

Hey where did the pix go? I'll try again...

lemme see... Oh they were too big. Gotta resize... this should work.

You got it right ,high pinion was introduced in 90? Im not sure if it was as strong as the diff it replaced.

here are a few I bumped into on a used lot between Kadena and Camp Foster

This one was sitting next to it.

Both are E-Locked front and rear, and 5- speed. On the end of the lot was this Prado:

1,950,000 Yen = US$17,150 ouch.

Overpriced.... all of his trucks are.

Nice looking rig.

I got those same rims by the way.
Do you know what brand they are?

Cheers,

Maybe this is a foolish rookie question, but just how rare are the ragtop 70 series? I think if I was stationed here I might would try to talk a deal on the ragtop just to say I had owned one, even if I couldn't bring it back home.

 

[Barboorr]

what kind of wheels are these?

Pretty rare. Crushers has imported three I think. Island Moose has another. That's all I know about in NA whereas we've gotten hundreds of hardtops and FRPs.

This is killing me! How do I get this convertible 70 to the U.S.?
