Point one, the daily beer deliveries shall start soon after Charles receives the truck.

Point two, @beno must know something about my finances that I don't. In process of buying a house then sinking another metricshitton of dough in additional work. Bank accounts will likely be empty in 6.875 months when he's ready to sell.

There will be a line through your BJ74 in your sig.

It will be replaced with a HZJ77.

nice truck, but prefer the looks with mirror on doors

Remember to change the timing belt soon

The fender mounted mirrors are one of many things I like about the Cruiser.
The timing belt and water pump were just changed.

Get rid of that thing and all of the electricals immediately. I hope the install wasn't a damn hack job.

It will be gone soon after delivery. I've had other Cruisers that had them and non survived past a couple of weeks.

I see this lasting maybe 6 months to a year before Charles flips it .....

@elkaholic will be there to purchase this ASAP.

Ye of little faith .......
Every Cruiser that I have bought, starting with my first BJ42, I bought with the intentions to keep forever. However for reasons I can't really explain, 5 minutes after they hit the garage, I start looking for something better or more unique.
I honestly think that the HJ75 and HZJ77 are about as good as I can do and am confident they are here to stay.

Turbo timer. Keeps the engine running for a preset amount of time after you shut off the ignition... to cool down the turbo.

However in this case there is no turbo ...... YET.

What is this? And what is the black box hanging down?

Flight Data Recorder / Voice Recorder

Hey buddy, wanna buy a BJ74?



Back on topic, very nice truck Charles. Any chance that box is a trailer brake controller?

Sam, Until it shows up in a week or so, I honestly don't know. I'll have "my guy" figure it out. : )

That's what I was thinking. After delivery, I'd check for signs of a previous install... just to know.

The consensus is that the device is not associated with a current or previous turbo installation.

"For Land Cruiser Only" according to my Japanese co-worker next to me.

Upon arrival it will be "For Trash Can Only".

Based on this photo, I assume Japan's version of the 7Eleven store sells "Big Gulps" in square cups.

It's for cold sake cups

Some folks go to quite a bit of effort to get a cup holder...even a square one!

A PBR wouldn't fit without some modifications.

I enjoyed all the additional photos! Very pristine truck.

Few comments. Interesting it comes with the 15x7" version wheels. I thought that vintage came with 16x6"... Are you going to miss the split rear seats that your Prado had (and third row)? I have to admit, the LJ78 has fancier seats/interior than the HZJ77. I love the dual e-locker setup you have. I have a rear e-locker, but will eventually put in a front. Thanks to your picture now I know how to drill out the front diff in the instrument cluster picture for a second red LED. Fourth, I recommend 255/85R16 with a mild soft lift.

Have lots of fun with it!

I think the 15x7 are standard on the HZJ77 for whatever reason. Mine were the same until I switched to a 16x8 rim. The rear seat is a nuisance but rear prado seats bolt right in. This is what I did. 255/85R16 FTW

Looks clean and pristine. What's your plans for it?
