Hi folks,
am brand new here on ih8mud, but spent many time here as a visitor for the past years.
I am French and recently moved to Djibouti.
Since my arrival, i was is the seach of a 40 series to drive around in my free time and overland in the magnificent teritory of the Horn.
After few beers and sharing my project with newly-made friends, we were on the go to get one. We've spent 4 months rollin' everywhere, from scrapeyards to backyard of guys who kow a guy who know someone... Then, we found the "GOOD" one by a hot day;
(yep, thats an FJ-Cruiser, nothing better to search for a 40's) (note: 50°C = 122°F)
The "Good One" as found, in the middle of nowhere.
So the challenge ws at this time to get it back in town, at the shop. Plus, setting the project and star runing on with orders placement etc etc etc
Desired Specs:
Toyota HJ45 Troopy
QuickSand 4V6 (to match my friend's FJ Cruiser, + i love this color)
1HD-T 12v 4.2 Turbo Diesel
Custom 3 inches exhaust
H55 5 speed manual trans
New or almost new solid axles from 40's or 70's series
OEM or kits to get 4 discs brakes
Aluminum radiator
AC kit
Tan leather or plastic leather interior
Roof Rack
Rooftop Tent
theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen i burnt my bank acount in Dubai, UAE
Yeah, give me that one, with that gearbox, yep hum... this how much ? and that ?
Ending up with that one.
(more to come )
