1985 HJ75 Pickup

Very nice. I like the new 4Runner a lot. Welcome to the 21st century. You're not going to start spending all your time on the 4Runner forums now, are you? Oh please say it ain't so...

I'm just jerking your string a bit. I have not nor do I ever plan to purchase a 4Runner. The BJ74 will eventually be replaced with another Cruiser as soon as the right one comes along. I'm not sure when that will happen but I'm constantly looking.

Needs a bumper/winch up front, but otherwise quite nice...

If I recall and can count, you have no Cruisers. Didn't your wife convert your HJ75 into a trash dumpster? Man, I'm feeling it for you. But I have a feeling that you are going to explore other Cruiser opportunities...

I think that there will be another shoe to drop soon .... He has money burning a hole in his pocket now ...

Charles want's one of these with some of the accessories.

Yes, I just figured it out. I am a little slow on the uptake, though scat in the trail suggested something was up...

Congrats to both of you.

I am happy to anticipate a bastardized 73 in a month or two, so unlikely to do anything crazy in the near future.

We are ramping up our Terrain Tamer offering in the area of engine service kits, parts, etc. for 1HZ and 13BT motors. With 1HZ rigs qualified for import, we are seeing more of them with needs....

This is very good news.

After the divorce, the left rear mud flap would be all I could afford.

You are very optimistic, sir!

Dreams DO come true, Charles. You just need to keep looking.

Here's my BJ73 when it arrived by car carrier. A little dirty, but lots of potential.

I'm a "glass half full" kinda guy.

I wouldn't have accepted a dirty vehicle.

Those two would just fill the bed with debris.

Torfab is a full service shop - the crew and steam cleaning power washing system got that cleaned it right up.

Oh a little dirt never hurt anyone...

But Charles, starting with a mud flap would be an excellent restoration project. It would keep you occupied for quite a while. And with an assistant like that who cares how long it takes...

I think I'll just keep my ole antique truck. It's paid for and I won't have to learn how to live on 10% of my assets.

 

[eman375]

Valid point and probably the wisest choice. I guess it's nice to dream about the latest model but there is something good about hanging on to the old reliable...
