Hey guys,
I have the opportunity to pick up a BJ74 for what I think is a pretty good deal ($8k).
It's got 341km on it, some rust, frame seems solid but needs to be wire wheeled. Interior is pretty good. AC doesn't work.
I haven't seen it in person yet, I'm trying to figure out if I want to even think about getting into this.
What things do I look for when checking this thing out? Have zero experience with 13bt's. I know my way around Land Cruisers, but not with 70 series. I want it to be daily driveable.
I'd have to give me up nealy finished fj40 for this. Is this something I want to get into here in the us? With the age of this thing am I just asking for it?
Thanks for any words of wisdom!
