Truck is not a show truck but is in good running condition, has some body and floor rust, but frame is good and all mechanicals are in good order. This has ben a runner and wheeler for the last 9 years for me and never let me down. It has some cool options like cable lockers and PTO but also some budget options like the auto trans and body rust.
This has been a fun project but the time has come for many reasons to pass this fun little truck on. I got it from Land Cruisers Direct in 2014 with 240,xxx km.
Lots of maintenance items have been completed and documented in my build tread: So now I have a BJ74 I have a bunch of documentation but not for every little thing. Change the oil every 3k or twice a year with Mobile or Rotella 15w40 and I have been using the large Mobile M1-301A filter to gain a little extra capacity.
Maintenance/build highlights:
Knuckles/front axle rebuild
Injectors rebuilt
EGT/boost gauge
AT Trans cooler
Lower radiator hose heater
Belts, Fan clutch, coolant flush.

Red Head steering box rebuild. W/ taps for future power assist.
New batteries
H4 Head light conversion.
555 tire rods and steering.
OME suspension
Powder coated FJ60 wheels
33x10.50 BFG KO2s
Roof rack
24-12V Converter w 12 fuse block and usb outlet.
Black painted grill and mirrors.
Rear cargo platform
Rear aluminum door panels with fold down table.
Known issues:
Body and floor rust, mostly on the driver's side sill, rear fender, rear seat mounts, and rear lower door sills.
Glow screen does not work, never has, never been a real problem.
Probably a small rear main leak but pretty minimal, takes about 3 months of sitting to notice anything on the ground.
24-12 is not the best has a parasitic draw so I leave disconnected unit i am driving it every day on a trip and it is never an issue.
Some body molding is starting to crack
Some window trim is starting to crack
Clear coat on the hood and top of fenders is flacking off.
Crack in head light (damn it! just happened last week.)
Drivers seat tear
Antenna broken.( I have a new one)
Some coolant weep on some of the hoses
Some oil weep on some of the hoses.
I have done my best to take pictures of all of the rust and issues, but I bet there is some other areas if you pull up all the carpet. I did not wash anything or clean any thig so you can get a good idea of the true condition of this truck. I think this is a great enthusiast truck to run around a wheel and enjoy what a 70 series is. Its rough, its reliable and I think it has a lot of soul. Perfect for a wheeler project. I have the rear seats and mounting hardware to include with the sale. This truck is not a Bring A Trailer money grab or quick paint an flip, I am not an expert in body work but my guess is there is enough rust in the fenders to warrant a new fender over just patching it unless you are really good with sheet metal. I just want to be real up front with the condition you are getting. Its an enthusiast truck that requires an enthusiast attention with the 24v system and RHD its pretty easy but it ain't Instagram in real life. Clean New Mexico Title. ( I have kept it registered there even though I am in Idaho)
I think this is priced appropriately.
Asking $12,000.
Ask any questions or pic requests I will do my best to get back to you.
