1985 HJ75 Pickup

[roscoFJ73]

Do these come with a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission

No auto as the others said,but you could do a conversion using factory parts off other models that did mate an auto to a 2H.
The model after with the 1HZ has an aftermarket conversion kit from Wholesale Automatics,or again,there are other models that you could use the parts from to make a fairly convincing factory like conversion.

Not "idiot", substitute this word to "real man"

No I am fairly sure he meant "idiot".

no "poser man" comes to mind. real men don't baby cruisers.
but
we all have to take baby steps sometime.

I have a lot of emotional scars from that LJ78 however my therapist said given enough time I will probably make a full recovery.

Come on down.....( it will be in the low 70's all week so you might need a light jacket ).....you will also need two passports...one for the U.S. and another one for the State of Georgia. I will put in a good word for you at the state border ( or will I ). As far as the turbo goes, I like the fact that the Cruiser slowly gathers momentum. It fits my lifestyle.

same with the white ragtop ... NA 3B, slow but there is something about being forced to enjoy the scenery as you drive along...

The 2H + 5 speed gearbox can comfortably do 100 kph which fits in good with local traffic. I would most certainly need to run in the far right lane on the interstate but I have no plans to "go down that road". This thing is a rocket compared to my old HJ45.

Your "old faithful" look tip top condition from the photos.
2H + 5 speed without any load will be smooth as silk. But when you have load at the back, seems gutless when you want it.

An Ice chest with beer is probably the heaviest load the HJ75 will be subjected to. If the 2H can't handle that, I can always cut back on
ice. I have owned a 3B, H, and 2L-TE powered Land Cruisers so lethargic diesels is nothing new. The 13B-T is the only diesel I have owned that had some "get up and go".

You never know someone might pull up in my driveway with one of those fancy HZJ79's and want to trade even. Probably the same odds as winning the lottery but you never know.

.....And to think you could just walk out to the parking lot and drive off in a new Tundra. I will however put you at the top of the list.

Seems like pearl of your eyes

sounds like he is prefering Yanks over Canucks...
but
also shows he is considering selling and it isn't even a year yet

First of all the HJ75 IS NOT FOR SALE!!!
Secondly, I like Canucks ( at least the ones that did not make fun of my Prado ) and if it were not for them there would be nobody in Florida during the Winter.
