Here's the info on mine: 1982 HJ47 Troopie from Australia. RHD, 2H engine, Currently in AZ. HJ47-020744

I think you got a good deal, too. I've bought from the seller in the past and he's been a straight shooter with me. Good luck with the troopy. Post your experiences when you receive it.

I bought mine from eBay Australia (eBay Australia - Buy or sell practically anything on eBay, the world's online marketplace). I asked the seller to ship to the US and they kindly did. I of course had to pay for shipping.

Anyone know of the PTO setup for the HJ45 (H) would be the same for an '81 HJ47 (2H)?

How are these things on consumables (tips, etc.)? Some of these things can get pretty expensive.

2H Radiator Hoses: Lower Hose OEM - 1657268020 Mackay Rubber - CH1343 Upper Hose OEM - 1657168020 Mackay Rubber - CH1342 Bypass Hose Gates - 02-0114 I have only found these from Roodogs in Australia so far (http://www.roodogs4wd.com.au). Great prices and fast shipping.

Did you find it at Phoenix Fuels? I thought Western States Petroleum was the only place in the valley that sold BioDiesel. If they are no longer the sole source, that's news in and of itself.

Interesting. Can you post a picture of the underside? How much did that set you back?

Swamp, did you settle on a set of wheels for your truck?

Thanks for the info! I'm going up with some friends from the UK. good luck on your cruiser search!

I bookmarked this site for some trailer construction info that may help: http://collierwelding.com/tech/weldingtrailer/ They used 3" channel for the frame and a bender to get the frame rail and draw bar together from a single piece of steel. Similar to what someone mentioned above.

Not to hijack the thread, but isn't Haines, Alaska where they do the big eagle watching gig every year? I'm heading up there for that next year.

PM sent on the pulley. I've been following your threads for sometime and I'm sorry to see your 2H take a turn. Having a similar vehicle, I sympathize. Here's a couple pictures of y troopie on an outing to the Sunflower mine in Arizona last weekend...

Saw this post today... https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=149112 Ironic, I'm looking to go the other way... I'm building up my HJ47 for a trip to South America in '09. Plans change, I may be interested in your trek.

Mine does that for a spell at 3000 rpms...
