SOLD!!!
I purchased this amazing rig in 2008 from Canada and imported it to the US. It's legally registered and titled as a diesel in WA state. It was a professional swap done by Sheldon Walsh(G&S Cruiserparts) and it was his personal vehicle for a couple of years. I've put only 12k( 267k when purchased. 278,106 as of today) on it since I bought it, so I think it's time I pass it on to someone who can utilize it to it's full potential.
Sadly I am not an expert mechanic, but I will try to answer any questions best I can. Work done to it since I've had it: new radiator, fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter, valve cover gasket, rotors and pads(1k ago), new batteries(12mo ago). The body is still in great shape, I've added a scape on the front left fender, and the clear coat is pealing on the rt fender, no rust, garaged 90% of the time I've had it. It was worked on by a local cruiser expert, Torfab, and he gives it the thumbs up "We looked at this cruiser about a year ago, and it's in greae. For those in the know, this is a conversion done by Sheldon at G&S Cruisers in BC. His attention to detail is top notch, and this conversion is very well done."
Here is the original description that was posted in '08 and like I said little has changed:

Washer reservoir relocated using proper JDM HDJ81 extra capacity reservoir on left fender.
As far as fuel economy goes it depends how you drive it. Pure Hwy @ 60mph on my last road trip, loaded with trailer, gear roof top tent etc I was getting around 400miles on 20gal.
My best was in stock trim. 507 miles on 21gal. The lift, bulbar , tires etc have all cost fuel ecomomy but the way I look at if is that I am still a good 30% ahead of any gas powered 80 in the same trim.
