    Hello, The 80 Series has seen better days, I reckon. Juan

    Hello, I am glad to hear that. I suppose it gets down to how many panels you have to replace and how much damage you have to repair. And to the will to do it. That, and a lot of coating after the restoration to keep the rust at bay. Now that is occupational therapy. Juan

    Hello, Indeed. Those models had a 2/3 bench passenger seat, vinyl mats and upholstery, no AC (sometimes not even a fan, just a fresh/recirculation lever) no radio... As basic as 70 Series trucks get. Other base grade, short wheelbase 70 Series trucks did have jump seats and sliding windows...

    Hello, I do not like solid side windows very much either. However, I have seen my share of vehicles with solid windows moving people and cargo, Troopies among them. Down to business... I would not think "this person does not get their hands dirty" because of solid windows either. I would...

    Hello, Troop Carriers, or Troopies for short, are intended to carry personnel from one place to another, hence the name. Passengers that in turn get some job done, or return from a completed task. These trucks are also intended to transport cargo from one location to another. The option to...

    Hello, Ages ago, one of the first 75 Series Troopies I saw, an FJ75, had solid rear windows. Incidentally, it was the same color as the one you came across. Nothing says utilitarian as solid rear windows on a Troopie. The BJ70 Series is too far gone, I am afraid... Juan

    Hello, I have a few questions. I am not sure about one detail. Does the dealer in question import the trucks from Japan? Or do the imports come from the Middle East? What is the import tax for a vehicle in the EU? I am asking this because a 70 Series from the Middle East is likely to be...

    Hello, A 78 Series from Ukraine, as featured in Time magazine last week. The rear doors appear to have some type of armor. So does the interior. Juan

    Hello, A soft top 70 Series Troopy, like the FJ45L, would look great. I guess Toyota decided that the 75 / 79 Series pickup/Ute with soft top compensates. Too bad. Juan

    Hello, The handles and the headrest give it away as a double cab 79 Series. He should have stayed in his bunker (which had no windows) and he should have avoided windows of all kinds, cars and planes included. Juan

    Hello, It appears the Ukrainian military is partial to 76 Series. They appear every now and then, either in one piece or destroyed, in their videos. Again, sorry for the hijack. Juan

    Hello, Certainly, at 950 kg, the ZU-23-2's weight is within the payload limit of a 79 Series. And it does pack some serious punch. A 40 mm gun may be too heavy for a 79 Series. Shilka is the name of its self-propelled cousin, ZSU-23-4, also known as Zoo. I remember reading that US...

    Hello, Another thing. It should be possible to mount one of those guns in a Humvee. I doubt it is possible on a Jeep Gladiator, though... Juan

    Hello, Very true. What a waste. 40 mm and 57 mm antiaircraft guns make deadly close support weapons, especially in urban fighting. Put one in a 70 Series truck and you have a high mobility weapon with a heavy punch. It is good to know that the Ukrainians are using this application. Juan

    Hello, Found online in an article about the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian Army 79 Series. It looks like they took the idea from African and Middle Eastern conflicts. Juan
