I was going to the post office last week and spotted this cruiser, and I got him to pull over so I can take a better look, then the guy was nice enough to meet up with me and let me take some pics of his cruiser. The model is a BJ73. He imported it as a 1982 but tells me it is a 1992, something about having trouble with the paperwork getting it thru customs. The owner was working in Guinea, Africa and the body and chassis was brought there from Switzerland, and thats where he restored and put in the 22RE 4 cylinder gasoline engine. It has solid axles, a manual locker in the front, the FRP top comes off, which wasnt even available in North America,(basically the same material used on a Jeep hard top) revealing a roll cage, and the front windshield is hinged to fold down like a Jeep does. Its also a 5 speed. Definately one of the sweetest Land Cruisers ive ever seen. If it were mine, I'd repaint it desert dune beige, get rid of those poser wheels and that hunk of chrome off the front. What do you guys think of it?
