looks really nice-I did not even know they made a soft top of the BJ70.

I want his doors...very rare removable window hoops on them to turn them into half doors. Would look really cool on my BJ74 without the FRP top on.

Thats rare alright ,Ive never seen a 70 with removable windscreen in oz.
Can all the removable 70 windscreens fold down like that?
I was told they cant,so does this have special hinges or was my source wrong?

Way cool. Never seen a 70 with a soft top.

One of you Canuck buggers should buy it.

Ross, the windscreens fold just like the 85-98 75 utes. Oz had a few 22R powered soft top RJ70R but most of the SWB were the _J70RV models (hard top).

Hmm, I wonder if he'll trade my BJ70 for his.

I believe that you also have to have special doodads on your wiper arms that will allow them to fold with the windscreen...right Greg? I would imagine there would also be some sort of rests on the hood for the windshield?

[Landpimp]

sure they did, both short and mid wheelbase 70's

 

[wesintl]

Those softtop 70's are way cool.. I'd love to have frp 74 and then the softtop equip to go with it for the summer.

 

[crushers]

that is the winter project for me, use the fatory 70 soft top for a pattern and extend the prototype to a 74 wheel base, make the proper hoops and instead of the rear doors have a flip down tail gate and a rool up back window...
cheers

[Jan-78FJ40]

Ok, that's it. I am moving to Canada.

 

[wesintl]

or at least get a place there... I'm still thinking of that ocean of pho that wayne and herb took me too. Calgary seems like a pretty cool place. Wife and I want to get back up there soon. I'd try and swing the river shiver but funds will be tight here soon

 

[crushers]

just let me know and i wil take you on a private "winter shiver"...
;^)

Wow, Wayne...that's cool, and a great price too! How much for the doors? Lol. Do you guys know if the soft top versions ever came with a 13BT (BJ71)?

 

[crushers]

Hoooahhhh....

I'm the lucky winner of the eBay auction on the ragtop BJ70. I've been looking at them for a long time, searching the classifieds and watching them come in through places like Outback, Luxury and Mustang...but I just stumbled across this auction the day before yesterday. Coincidentally, I had also just sold my Ford 4x4 pick-up, which allowed me to have the cash on hand to make this deal.

I'm picking her up in Vancouver tommorrow, and I'm excited as hell. She'll have a good life her on the Island, and I hope to attend some rallies next year with you folks.

Hope I can sleep tonight.
