Which would you recommend, mileage and condition being equal? Truck will hopefully have FR/RR factory lockers and a PTO winch.
I'm trying to decide which JDM Cruiser to buy and have narrowed it down to either an HZJ73, a BJ74 or possibly an HJ61. Looking for a daily driver for the city and highway that will see regular - fairly hardcore - offroad excursions to and around the camp.
I currently own a '78 FJ40 that has undergone a frame-off restoration (completed 3yrs ago by PO) and has a freshly rebuilt 2F gas engine (I had it rebuilt last winter by 4wheelauto, 12K on it). I will probably look to sell this rig once I have a replacement.
Also, interested to know if anyone recommends a particular importer and why. I've been communcating with Louis at Adventure Imports as well as Michael at Rising Sun Imports - both come across as knowledgable and reliable. I'm located in Montreal/Ottawa region but I also visit Vancouver with some regularity.
Thanks for any help!
