Offering up my 1987 HJ61 for sale. This is the VX trim with all of the fixings (e.g. moon roof, PTO, power everything, factory lockers, suspension seats). I have owned it for 8 years during which most of the systems have been gone through. It was a daily driver for about a year and a half and then became a weekend driver / trip vehicle. Currently showing 251,729 KM (156,417 Miles). I am also enclosing below the modifications / repairs made since I've owned it which will give the next owner a great blank(ish) canvas to make this one amazing overland vehicle.
Mechanical
In order to have more flexibility with overland accessories I decided to go in the direction of installing a 12V system as to not strain the existing 24V stock system. The work was performed by Wayne Electric in Long Beach.
The body is just fine. It is far from perfect aesthetically, but is extremely solid. Floors and frame are great.
The interior is in good shape. Seats show some wear but nothing major to speak of. The most major issue is two areas with dash cracks. I've placed a brand new dash cover over it for aesthetics.

- New clutch installed less than a thousand miles ago
- Radiator tested and flushed three years ago
- Fuel lines replaced

- 2nd alternator (12v) was installed with third battery in rear next to custom drawer storage
- 2 Fuse blocks installed (1 with constant power ideal for a fridge and the other off of a relay tied to ignition)
- The Light Force lights in front are 24v and tied to the stock switch inside
- Driver door window regulator replaced. All electric windows work.
- Power side mirrors work.
The body is just fine. It is far from perfect aesthetically, but is extremely solid. Floors and frame are great.
- Weather stripping is new around the doors
- The paint is sun damaged on the hood and roof (see photos) as well as the ARB bumper
- There is some bubbling under the paint by the hood and in the door jam
- The moonroof plastic frame shows bubbling. It was this way when I bought it and has no effect on the functionality of the moonroof.
- Paint is starting to crack on some plastic: side view mirrors and grill.
- There is minor surface rust here and there. Could be cleaned up with some elbow grease (see photos).
- Custom swing out bumper on rear with ladder. Never got around to installing my con-fer roof rack.
The interior is in good shape. Seats show some wear but nothing major to speak of. The most major issue is two areas with dash cracks. I've placed a brand new dash cover over it for aesthetics.
- The suspension seats work and allow the driver and passenger to dial in their weight
- There is a track system for curtains installed. This came out of Japan with curtains. Previous owner mentioned something about recreation vehicles having lower registration fees. I never took it out as I considered using it at one point for camping trips.
- I built the storage system in the rear with 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood. It's extremely solid, but can easily be removed if preferred.
