If you use RORO you should get change if you ship form Sydney or Brisbane..
The issue is that Aussie's are so scared of dealing with dudes in the US. In addition i had one sit for 6 weeks when I was told it was picked up.
I had another get held in customs.. I know the AUStoUSA guys do a lot...

I always like looking at pics of ya FJ45
looks like a sweet ride. Somebody has put a lot of time and money into this.. It is artwork.
79 probably has the H Engine. Looks to have headers and but still don't expect to be doing 70 miles and hour..
Great example of a HJ45..
Hey Vae Victus,
I had so many people want to look at it I felt bad. It ended up going all the way to Athens Georgia. Some 5 hours away. The cool bit is that the new owner actually works at Toyota.
I have never sold one of my Cruisers before I am in major fear of being the PO that people on...
Do you have any photos as it sits today? or are they the top ones, trying to figure out what work is needed to complete or make usable..
Looks totals sweet..
There is a member called Rich out of California that imports restored ones. in California. He sells them for a few k more than the AUS2USA guys but they look super sweet IMO.

I did my own rebuild ... looking back I have seen pics of his and they look sweet would...
assuming it wasn't cut up - These are Aussie farmers doing these conversions. Not Chip Foose..
I Grew up in Melbourne and have seen many a shady job done on a farm. While the are better than Latin America not buy much...
You are going to have issues getting it registered in many states if it is too modified.
I would be very hard to get v8 past SMOG in California, and many other states or cities seem to be following.
They drive well with V8's however diesels are way cooler as they where never sold here, you...
it's a sweet looking rig.
I Just spoke to one of the Land Cruiser importers, he sold a troopy in 7 hours yesterday. It was an 83 with new paint and fully detailed with a 2H engine. The guy drove from LA to San Diego after work to buy it for $19k
I think you need to try craigslist...
Some people seem time like the troopys over the Bj's also the 2F has tons more power for city driving. Diesels are good but they are not the fastest can around town..
Hey Buddy I double checked and when you remove the front cover the dash has not been cut and upon checking with my Toyota Mechanic he pointed out that the FJ45 has the door switches which came with the upgraded dash and are not easy to add so I guess this time you are wrong. He did point out...
The dash is original, My HJ47 has the old school /traditional dash..
I have seen this dash in 82 as well. I can check the compliance plate when I am back from New Years Trip..
