    For Sale  Towing hitch Brink 1217 LandCruiser 70 series BJ73

    I purchased a 1988 24 volt BJ75 Troop Carrier in 2013. Unfortunately there was significant hidden rust and I had to scrap the vehicle. I then sourced a newer 2002 12 volt HZJ78 Troop Carrier in Germany last year. I have taken the best from both vehicles and have many good parts available for...

    Builds A Troopy Finds Its Owner

    I resent the implication that I have been 'got' by Crushers. I do believe that I was conned by the JDM importer in Nashville who must have known about the covered up rust in the vehicle he sold me which turned out to be non repairable. I was also overcharged for shoddy work by a 'Toyota 4WD...

    Service for a visiting 78 Trooper

    Hi James, In a word no! But I guess it depends what work the Troopy needs. Read my thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/troopy-rust-and-other-issues.853395/ for some of the issues I have encountered. PM me for more details. Looks like your rig would be right up my street but appears too...

    Troopy rust and other issues

    I imagine the body would have crumpled should it have overturned. So much for a rust free frame but with the importer not prepared to accept any responsibility I am left to pick up the pieces. This vehicle has rusted from the top down and the firewall, rear floor and chassis are actually in...

    Troopy rust and other issues

    In order to see the full extent of the damage I had parts of the body blasted. Unfortunately this revealed large holes around the roof line which had been filled with bondo and a lack of structural integrity throughout the roof, windscreen surround and both A-pillars.

    Troopy rust and other issues

    During the Mexico trip a gust of wind caught the driver's door, putting extra stress on the frame and cracking a bondo repair in the A-pillar. Further investigation following the removal of the dash and fender revealed extensive rust covered with bondo from the bottom of the windscreen down to...

    Troopy rust and other issues

    I am making this post to share my experiences and hope that I can help other people avoid the same pitfalls. But first a little history to put this in context. Over the last ten years I have driven over a quarter of a million miles exploring the USA, Canada, Mexico and Australia. I started...

    Rear door tire carrier

    Hi, In order to carry a second spare tire I had a tire carrier fitted to the rear door of my BJ75. Only a couple of months later I noticed that the metal of the door skin was starting to split. It is not that clear on this picture but there is a split above the bolt. I had a look inside the...

    Turbo 3Bii

    Thanks for all your input. I don't have a rev counter so I don't know what revs I'm doing and 1 also don't know what ratios I have. I guess I need to do some more research so that I can decide what I can do, if anything.

    Turbo 3Bii

    Hi, It is a Garrett turbo but I left it to the installer and didn't know that there were different sizes. Can you/I tell from the picture? The boost gauge indicates that the turbo kicks in at low revs and increases to a maximum of 15. I was advised to keep the temperature below 1200° so as...

    Turbo 3Bii

    I have recently had a turbo installed in my BJ75 Troopy. Whilst there has been an increase in performance I am a little disappointed in that on long highway inclines, I am down to 40mph in second gear. I know that there can be numerous reasons but if you have a similar rig I would be...
