1981 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER FJ45 TROOPCARRIER 2F ENGINE W LPG CONVERSION

LOWERED PRICE!!!!! 25000$

* Tow hitch
* Original seats: split bench in front, Troopcarrier jump seats in rear
* Heavy duty bullbar

Overall this truck is in excellent condition and encourage the buyer to see it in person. The color is off white under a pure white roof with matching grille.

I am NOT a mechanic but will try and answer all questions to best of my knowledge. Also I will email detailed pictures of any part of the truck.

The truck will be sold AS IS without any type of warranty. I recommend a personal inspection by the buyer and I am also willing to let the buyer bring it to a mechanic for further inspection.
The truck drives great and the LPG conversion is amazing, you can actually flip the switch and change over the fuel while driving down the road.

These trucks are very solid and were made to go slow and steady straight up a mountain or through a river. They were not made to go 80mph down the freeway or to handle like a race car so if you want those qualities then Id recommend buying a FJ Cruiser. But if you want the most stylish/durable 4x4 truck built to drive to your Landcruiser club meetings, or have people wave, stare and ask what kind of truck it is then Id say buy a FJ45 Troopcarrier.

The truck will be sold with a clean Arizona title. The truck is right hand drive which is completely legal and very easy to get used to. The truck is located in sunny San Diego and the asking price is $26,900. I am willing to help with shipping but it is the responsibility of the buyer to find and pay for a shipping company. Contact me at richshepman@gmail.com if you are interested in the truck.

Thanks Rich

Funny..this same truck is for sale at vintage off road for $45,000.....Wonder which one is real and really for sale?

So...................roughly a $20,000 markup for Mushro to advertise it.

I'm guessing this one here is fraud. I received an email from this shepman a month ago, thought it was very strange, I've never heard of him or had any contact with him for anything also was an attachment with it, I just deleted it right away.

 

[rifleshooter]

WOW! What a good looking rig.

 

[thenative1]

Absolutely no reason to think that Shepman is a fraud. Quite the opposite in fact. Seems as though he sells a rig or two a year - typically troopys - slightly below market and in good condition. If even one of those sales were frauds, it would be all over these boards. Seems like this is a sweet rig.

Vintage Offroad, on the other hand, is another story. Scratch the surface of "Greg Mushro" (owner of Vintage Offroad) and you get a litany of complaints and issues about his business and rigs. I haven't purchased from either, but based on the stories you can easily find in and around the Web, I would be very wary of Vintage Offroad before buying.

I agree, Shepman is a good seller, my buddy bought a troopy from him with no issues. We all know Greg is a complete fraud!

Thank you very much for those comments in "defense" of my character. Its funny these days how people are so quick to throw around defaming comments claiming someone is a "fraud" instead of just taking two minutes to find out. If you would've emailed me we could've talked on the phone, you could've come by and seen the truck in person and if you had enough money you could've drove it home. Instead you sit at home in front of your computer and claim someone you've never even attempted to meet a "fraud". I am in no way in business with Vintage Offroad. Vintage Offroad and other 4x4 dealers are on my emailing list and if they can consign the truck and pay me what I want for it then good for them. This truck is beautiful in person and Id be proud to show it to anyone who is interested.

Definitely didn't mean any offense by it. There's a ton of fraud out there. I will try and find the email I received approx a month ago with your name attached to it. It was addressed to me personally. I've never met or heard of you and there was an attachment with the email so yes, I'm going to dis card it. If you're legit, awesome rig you have there and hope it goes to a good home.

i have a RHD FJ45 and i think it would cost 20k to make it look that good, great truck hard to see how you could make it much better

 

[skipsfj40]

Nice troopy...what year is it?

 

[Giles]

thanks, its 1981, very solid and original,just needs a bit of love now

 

[skipsfj40]

Same as mine...looks to be in great shape....how long have you had it?

 

[Giles]

Giles

 

[skipsfj40]

are you in Colorado?

 

[Giles]

no mate I am in the Uk but I get cruisers from Europe and Oz, a chap called Abe in Denver had two LHD BJ45 troopies off me the other week

 

[skipsfj40]

Interested in sending me a pm with your contact info?

 

[the gimpey one]

Man oh man my dream rig! Good look with sale.

 

[shepman]
