Here's some pics of the engine and undercarriage

Bumping this listing. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions or concerns.

1. The vehicle has two bench seats. That's all the previous owner sent me. They had removed two seats to put in tool boxes, which I still have. I'm not sure at what age/weight kids no longer have to be forward facing, but none of my kids are even close to it, so I put in that Bestop seat with...

I also meant to mention that I have the owner's manual, service manual, etc. Also, I ordered all of the Toyota, Land Cruiser, Diesel, 4wd badging, just haven't had time to put them on.

It's got about 26,000 miles since the total drivetrain rebuild. I don't know the total mileage on the vehicle. No smoke on the engine. It runs really well. No leaks that I can see. Transmission is tight. 4-speed. I don't have any compression data. I'll get some engine pics up. The...

No AC on this one. Factory heater, thats it.

EDIT: SOLD I'm selling my 1980 HJ47 Troop Carrier. I've got 4 kids under the age of 5 and just don't get to drive it ever. The previous owner swapped out the H engine for a 2H engine and rebuilt everything about 26,000 miles ago. I imported it from Australia, but now have it titled in Texas...

Hey ya'll, looks like I'll have to tackle this job soon. I've got a 2004 Land Cruiser. Couple of questions: 1) First off, I'm not even able to unlock the door with the key. I can only unlock it from the inside by manually flipping the lock over. All other switches work fine. Does this...

I've got a 1980 HJ45 troopy with a 2H that was swapped in by the PO to replace the original H. This rig is from Aus, but is now in Texas. PO had a "swamp cooler" on the roof to cool the cab, and installed a second battery and alternator to handle that extra electrical load. I have since...

I'm planning on installing under dash AC on the troopy this summer. I'm thinking the Nostalgic AC kit will work best for mine since many of the other kits extend into what would be where my pedals are. The linked kit is what I'll try out, though I'll have to remove the factory heater. Couple...

Imported from Oz in January and now registered in Texas.

This looks like an old thread revived, but if anyone ever wants to convert a troopy into a ute, i'll gladly take your troop seats :)

Just wanted to drop in here for a quick update. I got the "swamp cooler" removed from the roof, but the fiberglass shop wasn't able to fit me in yet. Hopefully I can get it over there this weekend for the repair. If all else fails, I'll have to look in to putting in a sunroof or something to...
