FZJ74 LHD soft top for sale

[beanz2]

Maybe it was the R/LJ77? Light duty front end but the rest of the body is identical to the HZJ77.

A wrecker going out of business? Gotta tell me about that

actually that would be a J78 series in the pic... "Prado"

 

[beanz2]

Uhh, look again, Wayne. It's LHD...

LHD = non JDM

light duty J78 are JDM specific, everywhere else they are J77.

Been reading that 50th Anniversary Book again?

mmm Im getting confused ,I got to get the video player back.

The wrecker died from lack of good 75 series stock which is a common problem for the smaller independants.
He had a least 20 complete 75 series but there was barely a decent part on any of them.
Ive never seen 1HZ motors rust away from the outside before.

Ex-mine trucks? There were some pics mot posted a while ago of some 1HD-T engines in Japan that have been sitting outside and they were pretty rusted out.

ooops...

Wayne. Post up some pics of the LJ71 and LJ78's you are getting.

LJ78, 2LTE engine

I never liked that front end. I was dissapointed to find that my German spec LJ73 was like that but not so much that I didn't buy it anyway. I'd like to see a 4 door HZJ78c/w the traditional 70 series front end.

Since its Christmas here's the last pic I took of Pepe

i bet you still get a tear in the eye over that one...

I saw a '89 LJ70 at an auction a few weeks ago. that thing had something like 350000 kms, the frame had just a bit of surface rust, but the body and interior were absolutely perfect, just like out of the factory new I wish it had gone for less, I'd have bought it The guy that bought it still made a bargain
Anyway, I'll stick with my POS RHD '88. BTW Wayne, do your VX LJ71s have suspension seats ? my VX 70 doesn't have them, and I have a friend who has an LX (supposedly lower trim) that has (had) them. I can't figure this out

 

[crushers]

i have never been able to understnad the suspension seat, why some have them and some don't. some of the BJ74s come sith them but in all the LJ71s i have brought in i have had only one with suspension seats... go figure.

Same story in oz,I think it must have been purely an optional item available on any cruiser.
I dont think it was a cheap option either
Most of the one Ive seen are in the 61,62 series Saharas .

Do they always come in pairs or is it usually the drivers seat only?

 

[crushers]

in my case i have only seen them in pairs...

Some of the Canadian BJ70s came with the suspension seats as well. I remember riding in Sheldon's 70 a few times and dialing in my weight on the seat and enjoying the soft ride it provides over a bumpy gravel road. I wish my 74 had them right now...

 

[lowenbrau]

Yup, all Canadian spec BJ70s had them and no N.A. *J60s did.

When I saw the first JDM HJ61 that LostGuide brought in I was amazed to see the suspension seats in a 60. Later I was surprized to see that many of the JDM *J7* stuff did not have them.

On thing about Toyota, they always keep the enthusiasts guessing.

i just got a 89 BJ74 off the train and surprise, surprise, this one has suspension seats... too bad it is sold. i might have kept this one...
Nah, i would have just beat it up... only junkers for me...
cheers
