I have a right hand drive, '81 hj47 troopie that I'm looking to sell. I have gotten rid lots of projects over the last year, but still have a few too many and this one needs to go before I start neglecting my 55. I'm a wagon type of a guy and like this truck but just don't have the money to take this truck to the next level. I had a full cage and a new skid plate put on it by Crum's Custom Welding. The cage turned out great and so did the beefy skid plate.

What have I done to it?
-Resealed the leaking transfercase, including the seal between the transmission and transfercase.
-Replaced the water separator due to it leaking with a new racor separator and filter
-Replaced the fuel filters
-Replaced the oil and oil filter
-Replaced the freeze plug on the back of the head that the frickin' PO thought could be replaced with an expandable rubber plug
-Adjusted the brakes
-Had full cage installed - this cage ties into the frame and is a top notch job.
-Crum's Custom Welding put new floorpans in the front. The front body mounts were repaired at that time as well.

What else comes with it?
- Full family bikini top from SOR (note this is for a 40, but I was gonna use it to get as much coverage as
possible.
- Used bib that has almost zero rust on it
- Used right rear ambulance door to replace the one that is on there
[bold]
- 33x10.50 tires on fj60 rims, stock rear full floater, h41 crawler transmission, 12v engine, and one big ol' aussie bar on the front.[/bold]
- stock 2H diesel with header
- Right hand drive
- two fuel tanks with in cab selector


What else needs to be done to it?
- The odometer does not work...well, nothing other than the tenths column. I haven't torn into it, but could be replaced by a new gauge cluster
- The left side defroster hose is crushed, I have one to replace with it
-New paint. The frame is in excellent shape. There are a few areas that need to be attended to on this troopie. Typical areas, such as the cowl seam on the left side and the rear sill. The previous owner "fixed" the area between the wheel wells and the fenders. It could use some additional grinding to take the welds down a bit more.
- the seats are useable, but have been covered with some additional vinyl.

A little bit of attention and some paint can make this a drop dead sexy rig :grinpimp:

Currently tagged in Virignia with no funny stuff on the VIN or title.

still some nice days left this fall to pull the top and enjoy the open air....
 
Still got that Hilux? I could be talked into taking that off your hands if you need some $$ :D

sure do....but the hilux price is going to be more than what I'm asking for the troopie.
 
took it out this weekend to the Fall Crawl up in PA....it wheeled great. Put some 33x10.50 tires and fj60 rims on it. Ran great up until the last trail when the battery gave out. I tried charging it last night and it looks like the battery is dead...so - new battery is going into this week.

Hey! I recognize those tires! They look better on your troopie than they did on my 60! (Yikes!)
 
This is a awsome rig. I have seen it a few times and each time i see it i want it. so someone give this thing a nice home.
 
strong interest

Hey there. I'm new (as far as being a member) to this forum, and have been following this rig, and am amazed it has not found a home. That being said, BKFJ40, I'll send you a message shortly.

I just wanted to chime in here...

Since this has been for sale now for a while people might get the idea that there is something wrong with the truck that is keeping the people "in the know" from jumping on it... Well I've seen the truck and I can say that I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all... I haven't bought it because I would like to stay married and this would put me out in the street for sure (although I COULD sleep in this thing with no problems... hummmm)

Anyway, if this thing floats your boat jump on it... I think it's a rockin' good deal.
