    Columbian FZJ73 Assistance and Questions

    I would imagine that if this rig lived in Colombia for a few years, it must have had some rain land on it (assuming it was garage kept) and a few patches of mud dirt stuck to its chassis on the back roads. I am no expert on rust, but that is a recipe for some rust spot. All LCs have some rust as...

    Columbian FZJ73 Assistance and Questions

    Okay I am sorry, that is a huge no no flag for me ‘give the engine a refresh’ and you said less than 250k kilometers on the engine. My 95 KZJ73 has 249k KM which is give or take 155k miles. Anyone who owns these things will tell you with proper service and maintenance the engine will not need a...

    Columbian FZJ73 Assistance and Questions

    Have you checkout Carcave USA in Aiken SC. Their 73 are Japanese built LC LHD made for Europe. I would hesitate on a Colombia made LC given the beating it takes on those dirt roads. Also dealers dont short their sale price because these 73 are desirable. Good luck and don’t rush into unless you...

    73 Series Soft top

    I will definitely keep you and everyone updated as soon as I know more from the shop. The shop owner was definitely intrigued when i told him there is a market at the right price. He needs a frame model for the build. The top he can copy mine for the fitting.

    73 Series Soft top

    I did notice that the bar had a peeling part which lead me to believe it was not new. I will have it coated again. The machinist did say that the doors would be far more difficult since it will need several bending giving that he dont know the design. Based on your feedback the front piece will...

    73 Series Soft top

    The right upholstery shop can build a similar top here in the US, the issue is the cost of labor, and of course the better the material quality the higher the price. Finding out if there is a way to have a contact in Pakistan who can build the top is the way to go. If anyone here is familiar...

    73 Series Soft top

    Thank you for the details that you provided. I received the top, side and rear windows cover as well as the rear bar. Unfortunately, I never got to mount it since the interior bars, side bars, door bars and front bar were missing. The pictures of what I received are below. Also look at the UPS...

    73 Series Soft top

    I definitely understand your points and agree with you. I did research on it and found the details that you did. The thought process did go through my mind at first, but once I was given the Account name and the bank details, I did perform an OFAC/KYC check and the company and individual came up...

    73 Series Soft top

    I have been looking forward to the experience, so when I ordered the top in September 2022 they guaranteed the entire kit and top. The email below was their first communication, it’s deceiving a customer base. I also have learned that the kits are made in Lahore Pakistan and sourced to Dubai...

    73 Series Soft top

    That is my case with TopSoft, did you use them directly or via eBay? I got my top and the rear frame a year later, but no frames. I was asked to pay $2000 more after paying $2999 and $600 for shipping. Good luck with getting any emails or communication unless if you are wiring into their Evolve...

    73 Series Soft top

    Did you order from TopSoft? I asked because I never got my frames. My order was in September of 2022. I got the top and rear bar, the top is amazing quality.

    73 Series Soft top

    TopSoft never sent the frames to me. Of course they are a different company now.

    73 Series Soft top

    Do not get it from TopSoft based in Dubai. Yes the product is good, but it will be over a year before you see your product if you see it at all. I never got the frames and i was asked to pay $2000 for the remaining frames after i paid the original $2999 in September 2022 for product and shipping...

    Soft Top Interest for MWB 70s

    You’re welcome. I hate to write a negative post, especially when the product is great and the people are trying to make a living. The top that i received is of great quality definitely worth the $4k-$5k, but to await a whole year and receive an incomplete order and pay an additional fee for...
