After about 2 years spent hoping for circumstances to change I’m putting my 1991 FJ75 Troopy up for sale. Asking 23k, details below:
Issues I’m aware of:
Selling because I don’t have the space or time to do it justice, sadly it just doesn’t work out with the current living situation and family needs. Background is that I bought it in late 2018 after adopting a cattle dog (perfect excuse to have a troopy join the ‘40 in the fleet). We built out the interior for trips and used it for exploration in the SW 2019-2020. Many trips and great times, ~10k mi on and off road w/o a single hiccup.
I bought it from Edmond on ‘mud who had imported it from Kuwait. From the work I’ve done on it I’d say it is what one should expect of a truck from the Middle East w/ ~300k. Notably it is completely solid body-wise, no rot. That said, it definitely has a recent paintjob w/ bondo. I’ve tried to capture some of the worst bits of the paint in the pics I took. Thread I bought it from is here (has more underbody pics, they’re representative of the truck as it sits):
SOLD - 1991 FJ75 Troopy - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1991-fj75-troopy.1162203/
Improvements done under my ownership:
Tires (255/85r-16 Geolander MTs) & replaced split rim spare
Front seats and new factory floor mat, misc interior trim
New factory seatbelts
Interior build w/ bed, camp kitchen, water tank
Spectrum and Damplifier Pro in interior prior to building sleep setup
Exhaust
Comes w/ many parts/spares that I haven’t gotten to swapping in
I suspect this is the cleanest trip-ready troopy in the US at this price point. I’d hop in it and drive across the country as it has proved extremely reliable in the time we’ve had it. Asking 23k as-is ready to roll w/ Engel, chuckbox, 10 gal water tank. Located in Fountain Hills, AZ. Happy to grab additional pics / provide any additional details, please PM me if interested.
- Originally from Kuwait
- 3F & H55F
- LHD
- 316k mi
- Factory AC & heat, AC needs service
- Sliding windows all around
Issues I’m aware of:
- 4 low is stubborn, I knock it into position from under the truck
- Odometer stopped working for ~5k under my ownership, since resolved, but odo does not show the lost mileage
- AC is inop, I’ve not investigated the status. Suspect a full refresh will be needed
- Paint shows signs of bondo surfacing & is chalky, could use a detail if you want shiny paint
- 12V light is on in the cluster, no charging or battery issue, wiring related - haven’t investigated
- Needs a headliner & door cards
