In my neverending quest to find oddball stuff I came across a Toyota Blizzard in AU. It's a tiny little 4WD vehicle that has basically a 3B diesel. It's a re-badged Daihatsu Rocky (if anyone remembers those??) named the Toyota Blizzard. Daihatsu is owned or affiliated with Toyota and Daihatsu made the 3B diesels at theor factories. Basically it's a BJ40 that weighs 1,000 lbs less.
I've found 2 soft-tops in the US and the guy in AU says he only knows of 2 others there and they are soft-tops. This one's a hardtop. I'm sure there are other ones out there so I'm gonna look around.
Parts should be fine since there is a truck called the Scat in AU that is the same model and there are tons of them down there.
This one gets 38mpg and the guys says it wheels great. Max speed is 55 mph (downhill). Low gears, new mud tires and a welded rear diff. Original paint is a nice touch and very, very little rust. Definitely want to take it out a few times at least. It should arrive in March.
