I do like what your have do to the old gal. On the winch, do you know if Toyota had different year models for winches in the time span when they made them or were they one fits all other than possibly the gears being changed. Been coinciding a winch for my rig but PTOs are being sold here for about $2,000 - $3,000 complete and working.
Nice work.
Nice work.

Thats come out looking really good! Make sure you get some canvas dressing on it as soon as you can. mine has faded heaps over the last few months.
A few people say that this canvas fades fairly fast. What brand is the dressing you talk about?. I got enough canvas to have a nother one made like yours with clears and this one onley goes on for a displays.
Hi Ian I have been wondering what you were doing. Henry (west aus) told me to come here to look. You are doing fantastic job,this old fella is impressed. I have done little to mine. since I talked to you I imported 1955 Caterpillar D4 dozer to play with. so keep on . Cheers Fred.

He was having trobble with his pilot motor, but I got it going,first pull.

I am back again for a few weeks. Got the winch bolted on and took other peoples advice and put grease nipples in a few plases. I hope this stopes it sizeing up like it was. I also need a roll pin to replace th drill bit. I got to assemble the pto gearbox next.
Nice job on the winch! The whole rig has turned out great.

Thanks for that. Spent a few hours on it tooday and fitted the numberplate light and tieded up the wiring around the back.
Tomrrow i will try and get the back seats in.
Aussie very nice mate well done
I spotted a very clean ex army hj47 cruising north through Grafton last week. I caught me by surprise because I thought it was a 110 landy until it got close and then I released what it was nearly snapping my neck trying to get a better look at it.

Great looking rig there mate, it's great to see all the Troopy's here on Mud and all of the great people who own them and all the help that is offered. Should be starting my project next year and I have gotten a lot of ideas from threads like this. Thanks for sharing, Cheers, Geoff.

Thanks for that. It would be nice to know how many are still going
Wow mate..Your Ex army HJ47 is a beauty!
Can any of you guys give me a history Lesson or some info on these Special Army HJ47's..Please??
What are they based on and what mods did they come with for the Australian Army? Were they Built In Australia?
Would they be the Rarest "FJ40" series in Australia?
