good work, glad you guys figured out all the details before we do mine. Color looks a little different from the first coats, is that just the photo or did it get darker?
Blast from the past, the weird Denmark roof rack is long gone. Hit me up if you ever feel like taking her for a spin.
My planned mods for the trip are changing the oil and replacing belts. Might add a backseat in case the missus and the kiddo decide to join.
my friend has a LX 450, the wheelbase is very similar but the rear end of my troopy hangs out a bit further than his, maybe 5". the roof of the 75 is also a few inches taller than the 80, mine wont fit in a garage with stock suspension and 33's.
my 75 has brake lights and turn signals in the bumper like a 40, then additional reverse and brake lights up on the columns. is there a way to build lights into this bumper?
I'm doing this job now. I saw the cores on cruiserparts but I haven't ordered it yet, so not sure if they are in stock.
Joekatana - how do the inlet and outlet lines come apart? Is there a seal in there or are they just compressed?
its very frustrating. a guy in CO has the four troop style seats for $1500 plus shipping and the guy i bought my truck from said he had the rear bench seat which he'd sell for $1500. seems like too much money to me, i'm thinking i might go see if i can get an old 4runner seat to fit or something.
heres my 1987 BJ75 troopy. Ads always say that the car is ready to drive cross country, which is pretty much what i did. I'd had it about 3 weeks when i loaded it up and moved to CA. Pulled the uhaul the whole way without issue, except high altitude which slowed me down quite a bit. I think...

I'm currently at work on a ship and have a full machine shop at my disposal so I thought I'd build some new bumpers for my BJ75. I was wondering if anyone had some specs on them since I forgot to bring my truck out with me. Thanks.
i have an 87 that might be on the market soon :( . sadly not quite the show piece that this one is, but it is very low mileage with front and rear diff locks and titled and registered in the US.
I'm looking for the troopy style seats for my new bj75 (ie seating for 10), I've been having a real hard time finding anything in north america. I'm also looking for random stuff like bumpers and air conditioning but it seems like finding anything is pretty tough. If anyone has the seats or...
