View attachment 938854 Now this on the other hand, is something I would spend money on even if I had to resort to a life of crime.

Yes that's a good looking truck

 

[crushers]

to me, the HZJ77 is the finest Land Cruiser ever made.

Clint, That avatar made me shed a tear while I stood back and saluted.

It's the only Cruiser that would persuade me to sell my current collection to own one.

The only cruiser that would persuade me to sell mine is a dual cab 79.

Once you get accustomed to the utility of a pickup, it's hard to live without one. That is the main reason I would sacrifice the BJ74 long before I would the HJ75.

Holy crap that's a nice 79.

Charles - To expand upon Wayne's Wisdom, here is a simple sequence for your satisfaction.

1. Buy one of the HZJ 77s below at auction in Japan (or something similar)
2. Ship it to New Zealand, register and insure it there
3. Secure storage (I know a guy - mechanic on south island with indoor storage, very reasonable)
4. Vacation at length for vehicular visitation
5. Import to USA when legal.

Unless, of course, you know someone in Canada...

 

[ForealBoreal]

heck I know someone with free storage in japan.
You will pay more directly from the dealer opposed to the auction.

Free storage is good, but New Zealand has hobbits and lovely vacation options.

And all this time I thought "Wayne's Wisdom" and "hobbits" were make believe.

 

[crushers]

Wayne's Wisdom IS make believe.
hobbits are real. when you are over 6' almost everyone are hobbits.

Our island community has many snowbirds that get "off the rock" in winter, mostly to Arizona.

I am trying to convince wife that a better solution would be to buy a clean JDM HZJ77 and stash it in NZ for annual vacations there. Suitable for loaning to friends for their use as well.

Then import when legal...

Other than the interior, exterior and the engine, it's just like my HJ75.

Here's a white one.......

Here is just the thing for hobbit spotting. Maybe we could put together a tour group with Wayne as guide.
