I picked up my first LHD 70-series Cruiser today in this new venture!
A 1990 PZJ70 LX that is a one owner truck, the original owner passed away and I bought it from his widow. I know people have heard all this before but this is a REAL one owner truck that was not used for work, the family I bought it from are rich cattle farmers and Cruiserheads! They use HZJ75s for work and this was the old mans DD for many years. It is the REAL deal! They also own a 200-series.
It is about an 8 out of 10 as it sits but I will be bringing it up to an 8.5-9 out of 10. A really solid 27yr old 70-series truck! I have never driven a 1PZ Cruiser before today but they have great power and throttle response for a N/A diesel. This truck has 210,000 original miles. Zero rust on the body or chassis. I tested it for blow by by taking off the oil filler cap and flipping it over on the fill port and it just sat there for more than a minute so I am going to say this truck has zero blow by. Zero smoke out of the exhaust under all driving conditions. Ice cold A/C. All electricals work excellent. Original radio but also has a good updated stereo as well as a nice alarm. 4wd works perfectly. Trans shifts tight and smooth. The truck has zero oil leaks any where on it, including no leaky knuckles which is so common on old Cruisers. Interior in excellent condition, original headliner looks brand new. It has been painted but has a really nice paint job on it and I checked the whole body for body filler using a body filler detector and found very very little in the entire truck. Factory auto glow system works flawlessly, it cold starts easily. All glass is original. It does have a 2007 grill on it but I think it looks great this way. Brakes work excellent. Everything is really clean and solid on this truck but I will be bringing it up to my standards and preparing it for the long drive back up to the states.
Stay tuned for more and I am already hunting for another!
Cheers
