I recently sold a BJ73 to purchase a 90 series Prado. The Prado is a vastly superior highway vehicle. I also made the change because the Prado - being newer - has updated safety features and was better to haul my kids around in. The 70 series was a tank off road but most of what I drive...

Re: 70 series owners
If anyone is supremely interested in becoming an owner of a 70 series I have a stocker bj73 from 1985 right here in Philadelphia. Well maintained and 140k miles. Its RHD but I've never had any issues. OAlso, open to trades too on a nice hardtop 40.
