BJ43 vs FJ45 Troopy

[5HUB]

Newbie Looking to purchase a Land Cruiser and have the opportunity to purchase a 1981 BJ43 or a 1983 FJ45 Troopy, both in similar condition. Which is more rare or better to own.
Pros or Cons?
Thanks

Personally, I love the 45. Both of mine have been 45's, but the 45 is the common one in my part of the world.
I would love to have a 43 too. It's all up to your own personality really.

Can't you get both?

Both

Depends on what you want to do with them. 43 if you are going to go heavy off road (less over hang) or 45 if you need lots of room...

--BJ43 if you want a diesel engine
--FJ45 if you want a gasoline engine

But I agree with Kcustom73--what do you want to do with a Land Cruiser? One is a pick-up and one is a shorty SUV kind of thing.

Actually it's an FJ45 Troopy not pick-up.
Is one worth more or more rare than the other?

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about the Troopy.
