TIME FOR A NEW DOCUMENTATION:
==========================================
Last year, I attempted to sell this FZJ79 to the USA, but unfortunately, we had no luck. We were able to sell it locally so that we can move on. Then we repurchased it last spring. Then Last summer I tried again to sell it to the USA. Still, I encountered many unserious buyers, with some doubting the process, another was offering 13k for it, and numerous negative responses. Then, in September, a message appeared here from Jacob @vansfromjapan, who seemed to know what he wanted and had done enough research to assure that I am not a scammer seeking American money. Haha. The first text was sent on September 8. We exchanged texts, and Jacob proved to be a good negotiator. Then, ten days after the deal closed.
Hint: I keep telling my fellow Americans, you are buying from an Arab, you can negotiate
The truck arrived at my place, and then I had another text exchange with Jacob to understand what we should do with the 25-year-old truck. A full service was the decision.

Areas to address:
- Front crank seal replacement: Front seal is not good, but we will check the rear one when we lower the trans
- Transmission and transfer case: they will be on the ground this week, then a complete cleaning, new seals, and switches.
- Front differential rebuild: This includes all the bearings and a complete gasket kit for the knuckles
- Break refreshments: It is an old truck, but rotors and drums need machining only; we are going to replace all parts around them.
- Cooling system refreshments: For such a truck, I always recommend installing a new radiator unit, but we will also be replacing additional components in the system.
