Not thats it really any of.your business.....
Yes I bought this 84 primarily because of the parts it came.with i needed them to restore my 81bj42 as I told.your brother...?..I also told.him i was.most.likely.going to.fix.all.of.the issues on the 84 and resell.it.....and this 84 is just too perfect.to take.into.the bush. So i now have 2 bj42s in the driveway. Good.for.me good.for.wife.not.so much...lol....When your brother came.to.my.front.door and approached me offering it for.sale along with all the parts i needed.....i couldnt pass on it. Would have taken me forever and a day.to.find all those.parts and they.landed at.my front door. Pretty sure he made out.pretty good.in the deal.....i paid up.for the.bj42 and the parts its.a.beautiful.rig.. As for.the history on it. Your brother knew nothing of.it he told.me.it was restored by a.guy in kelowna where he bought it.. You obviously.know more.about it than.your brother...restored.is a funny term. Nut and bolt.rotisserie restoration to.museum quality no it was not. If it were.it would be 65 k us....is this the cleanest landcruiser ive seen in a decade.or.so with new doors new tub all new suspension new. paint new rubber rims repainted exhaust and.brakes yep. Do.people.pull.me.over.to.ask.questions about it yep. Is it rare and beautiful 84 yep. Does.it run great.and.have any issues.nope.
I have since.talked.to.a.few.people.who.knew of this bj42 prior.to.your brother.owning it.for.the 4.months. fyi your brother didnt.know.anything about landcruisers originally he was.asking me questions on.how.to.hook the batteries up......when i first.met him....
One of these 2 .bj42s .has to.go.....it was.never.my intention on.keeping 2 of.them. i have now repaired and fixed all the issues that this 84 had as it needed a bunch of.work when i bought it. ive.put over 3 grand into.it making it right. Been through.it. top.to.bottom.with my mechanic. The 81 is also for sale at this time... whichever.goes.first i will keep.the other... . Id rather keep.the 81 as this 84 is way too nice to offroad it and thats what I use my cruisers for.....thanx for you interest willard. Im sure.ill.see.you on.the trails ...
Theres the story.
Cheers
