Trade 1994 HZJ75 (Troop Carrier) for Luxury? Sedan

For those curious about the importance of the VIN plate, it's that it shows a 17 digit VIN that conforms to U.S. vehicle standards. This should make it a no brainer for insurance and registration in the U.S.

After owning two different Oz rigs that DID NOT have a 17 digit VIN this is a welcomed addition.

Yep, insurance and registration was painless up here. I can't speak to other states, but this vehicle has been previously titled and registered in Florida and Arizona before being registered here in Washington.

I realize every State has its on quirks however having owned 4 Australian imports
( none of which had 17 digit VIN's ) I never had an issue with registration. As long as the paperwork and data plate match, most States will be all to glad to take your registration money.

Then be glad you live in your state. Bump for a cool ride.

Back from camping, what a spectacular weekend. Nothing like sitting in the Troopie eating a sandwich while everyone else is getting more gas


A few shots:

If I didn't already have 5 cruisers I'd be all over this rig.

On second though, would you be interested in a slightly lifted 80 with a CA legal Vortec 5.7 plus cash?!

Oh man... I would love an 80 with a vortec in it, but I'm not sure that's a step in the responsible direction

After this weekend I really don't want to get rid of this, but it's probably the right thing to do.

PM's replied.

I'm putting this in a holding pattern until I replace the springs, apparently I had a little too much fun camping last weekend

Gonna give Cruiser Outfitters a call this afternoon. I'm really leaning towards keeping this, I had a hard time letting the tech drive this to the alignment machine this morning, not sure how I'm gonna handle someone else driving this away for good...

 

[yohavos]

Lots done in the past few weeks... still not motivated to move it, but figured I would update this to keep my options open.

• New outer tie rod end installed
• Installed new OME Dakar springs front/rear, new steering dampener
• Removed front swaybar
• Fabricated a winch plate/mount etc.
• Installed a brand new SuperWinch 8500# winch
• Purchased/installed a new set of 15" Pro Comp steelies with 2.5" BS
• Purchased/installed a set of 1.5" SpiderTrax spacers to clear the new steelies and widen the stance - much more stable now.

 

[yohavos]

Few of the winch process... ended up tucking it in nicely.

Located in Tacoma, WA.

I am interested in this. I'm having trouble understanding how a vehicle less than 25 years old was imported into the states. Would you be willing to ship( at buyers expense of course)

 

[Hoz FJ40 CO]

X2 did you bring this in the country in pieces and reassemble or is this a proffittscruisers conversion of some kind?

 

[yohavos]

I'm not familiar with all the specifics, but this vehicle was imported through Florida. It has been titled there, in Arizona, and here in Washington.

There are a few of these floating around that were brought in by the same guy out of Miami.

Dang. That thing is sweet. Good luck unless you want to trade is for an 07 Ford Fusion AWD

Thanks man, not really looking for any domestic trades unless they happen to be a 68 or 69 Mustang, but that's a different story altogether.

Not really looking to rip you off either. That thing is sick and I hope that it goes for what you're asking.

Sorry I missed this...

I would entertain the idea of shipping but would prefer not to if possible. There are a lot of spare parts and what not that many shipping companies wouldn't want me throwing inside, even if secured.

This is based on my very limited experience shipping vehicles, so I may be way off base, but it's a concern of mine nonetheless.
