Hello Mud,
Stumbled upon this BJ73 for sale locally and was looking for some feedback from the community. Will be looking to keep this as my weekend and local ride with my LJ78 being my daily driver. I like the idea of the SWB or MWB as my next Cruiser and the all manual setup is appealing to me.
My initial thought was wait for a HZJ73 to pop up, but looking at current market prices it's a big jump in price. I get the appeal of having a more modern engine for parts, but damn. The allure of the HZJ73 is there and I will need some patience in looking.
This BJ73 is local, that's a big selling point. Also with it being a 1985, it's an older one and has that classic all brown look inside. But looks to be some rust on the rear quarters. Understanding the 3B, a turbo would be first on the list after shoring up the routine maintenance and confirming it's turbo ready.
Will be checking it out in person in a few hours, so more to come. Initial thoughts? What are some specifics to look for with the 3B?
1985 BJ73
236,690 km
Manual Transmission
Non-factory paint
AC/Heat
~$20,000
Many Thanks,
Jordan
