Wow... I wish thoes would be delivered to the dealerships instead of the other fj cruiser.
Looks sweet . Maybe from them one people who build them with the 350 chevys and ask 90K+ for the short bed version
 
Its a troopy...LC troop carrier...lots of them in AU. 7 passenger...has a diesel option...but I think this is an old one. They still sell them new in the rest of the world. It's porn to me...I think i am getting a semi. I'd like to have a better look.
Does this experience make up for the "bad day" Cody?
 
Man...what a sweet rig....I have always wished for one of those!!!
 
you sure they still sell those in the rest of the world brittian?? i think the last year for that style troopie was late '80's. and the gasser was the option engine not the diesel:flipoff2:
south american banderantie makes their version of all 40 series rigs and a few guys out there import those bodies to put on our chassis.
of similar interest, i spied a 45 pickup with some kind of neat-o bed on it. it was like a trayback, but roof high sides and a canvas top. looked as good condition as this one. maybe the same owner??

??? that's a 70 series troopy... not a 40 series.

Uh,, b- Hate to call you out on this, but that's either a J-45 or a J-47. Depends on what engine it has.
 
He's talking about the one in the link, not the one in the original post. The linked one is a 7x.

That's what I was talkin about. And yes a 40 series in the 1st post. C'mon Johnny, gimme a little credit.
 
Man. I was so hopin to be able to give you chit.
Oh well.
Now I gotta take it instead.
It's far better to give than to receive, believe you me. :flipoff2:

Hate to tell you this, after reading post #7, I think this is the wrong porn for you :eek:
 
I never said the new rigs were 40"s! I said they still make the Troopy...:flipoff2:
 
LOL brittan !!! your right about the troopie still being done, but its not the 40 series the pic refers to, so, your wrong and i'm right:flipoff2: :D
there is also a 70 series based japan only troopie that i would love to get my hands on, ticker is that its not a troopie, its a four door version of the troopie, or more accurately a modern 55,,, maybe thats why i like it so much, mmmm a modern piggie;)
 
Wow...I guess I have to get technical with this group...what a bunch of LC snobs...:D
I know the LC in the pic is an old 40 series. I also know the LC I provided a link to is a NEW 70 series. I didn't know there is a 4 door version sold in Japan, but now that I do I want one.
I have a subscription to Australian 4WD Monthly and see the new 70 series troopy's and trucks all the time.
Next time I will do a technical write up with a drawing in Crayola so you guys know what I am talking about...;p
