Well the time has come. I'm leaving Japan and I can't take her with me back to the states. I have to sell my baby. Send me an email at sniperx{at}as4l.com

The car started life as a 1989 BJ74. the PO then mated it with a 1991 drivetrain. The PO was an offroad shop owner and this was his demo model for new parts and things.

External things added by PO:
Warn 9000lbs winch
Custom Front bumper
Anti-reversal shackles
Lift (inches unknown)
Manual hubs
Safari Snorkel
Spotlight/Foglight
Second antenna (I never found a wire hooked to it, I think it was used as a height indicator)
Heavier springs
Front and rear disc brakes
Custom rear bumper

Internal things added by PO:
1HZ engine
Toyota Turbo
K&N Filter
Axles, tranny, and engine are all from the same car
Rear electric locker and front cable locker

Interior things added by PO:
Pyrometer
CD changer under driver seat
Air compressor stashed in rear panel
Air tank under the car
Air horn
Recaro drivers seat

Exterior things added by me:
Modified AIBA full length roof rack
Roof top tent (aluminum model) w/ attached room
Rear tire bike rack (lightly used, door was never opened when loaded)

Interior things added by me:
CarPC running Windows
7inch? LCD touch screen
Mini-amplifier (CarPC didn't have any amp and risked burning up soundboard running car speakers with it)
Airline extension with tire filler

Repairs done by me (or for me):
All brake pads changed
~2000 mile oil/filter changes
Fuel pump rebuilt (done at Nippon Denso down the street)
KN Filter recharged
1 new battery
1 new taillight
2 new taillight bulbs
2 new headlight bulbs
new thermostat
fresh coolant
new 24v-12v converter (currently runs 2)
new wipers


This is how it looked when I drove it off the lot

This is when we just got the tent on it a year ago...

Those wheels and SS tires aren't on it anymore. I will have a current picture up shortly.

This car is located in Japan and can be imported into Canada.

I'm looking to get 11,500usd for it. This is a little less than I paid for it before the pump rebuild and rack/tent was installed. I'm getting back into VWs when I get back into the US...so could work something out in that angle for a split window Bus, transporter or 55 and under bug. What can I say....diesel got me hooked on simple and robust designs again.

I can arrange shipping and transport of the truck if needed.

P.s. No, the shrunken head on the trailer hitch is NOT included.

Very interested. I just arrived in Iwakuni, at the Marine air station. Please send some more pics to shawnisrathernifty at gmail dot com, or give me a call 080 3449 1775
 
That is a NICE rig!! What a s***ty bummer you cannot get it back home. I wish I could buy it, but I am in the States
 
Its got a 1HZ in it . What happened to the 13B-T? I wont ask.
I hope things work out for you
 
Yes, the JP auction is almost line for line the same as the Ebay auction which is the same as the text above. I dictated it to my wife who cleaned it up and wrote it out. Theres no secrets in the JP auction...in fact the english version has a little more info.

I bought it with the 1HZ already in it, so dunno really about the old 13. The turbo is also noted in the Ebay auction as well. Here is a clip:
