I am listing my RHD 1992 HZJ73. It has been an amazing adventure rig & daily driver. I never planned to sell this thing but a couple upcoming life changes including moving (and shopping for a 79) are causing the sale.
24v JDM RHD
HZJ73
H55f Manual transmission
OEM Winch
Front & Rear OEM Electronic lockers
OEM Electronic locking front hubs
Dobinsons 2" Lift kit w/ IMS shocks
285/75R16 Toyo R/T Trail & Method 701 beadgrip 16x8 wheels - x5 ea
Frontrunner roof rack & rear ladder
New Terrazul Bimini top *on order - grey
New rear rotors & calipers (FJ cruiser oem parts)
Google drive with many photos & video: HZJ73 - Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16hrqTncFJ5Af3UkCqdeD0pEJmiZWTbKx?usp=drive_link
Imported in 2017 - Previous owner bought this from a Seattle importer in 2017
2021 Torfab work perfomed:
- Replaced the Clutch
- New front break rotors & calipers
- A/C 134A retrofit & recharge
- New upper & lower radiator hose
- Timing belt
- Front & rear pinion seals
- New fender flare gaskets
2023 I purchased the 73
Torfab work in 2024:
- New clutch slave & master
- New steering pump & low pressure hoses
- New valve cover gasket
- Vacuum solenoids serviced (4wd high wasn't engaging - issue fixed)
Current issues I am aware of:
- Very slow weep on high pressure steering line - just haven't gotten to getting it replaced. rarely need to top off reservoir.
- Window seals on the FRP top are showing age but no leaks. I have all the replacement oem rubber
- Wear starting on the common drivers-side edge of the seat. I use seat covers to protect it.
- Clear coat is starting to fail on the hood in a few spots, getting foggy etc. Paint is still in good shape. Clear coat in all other areas holding up well. Pictures coming.
- Front right running light is out. 2 bulbs on order.
- I found there is rust starting to form on the body just below the doorways towards the back. It is not concerning but definitely should be dealt with before it becomes a bigger problem. Photos on the google drive.
- Inside the cabin, at the 2 rear corners are 2 spots that the previous owner showed me when I bought it. They had installed an antenna on the back door, causing rain to seep into the rear cabin. It only corroded the 2 back corners and it was treated with a rust encapsulation product. Its not pretty but it has not spread or changed since I bought it. The antenna was removed and the rear has been kept bone dry since I've owned it. I have had the rear carpet & rear panels/cards completely pulled out and everything else is extremely clean with stock paint and looks like new.
*the odometer failed when in Japan in 2016 @ 168,076 KM and was replaced. It is documented on a japanese export sheet I have with the mileage when it was replaced. The current odo is @ around 98,000 KM for a combined total of 267,000 KM or 166,000 Miles
It has been daily driven off & on by me. I live in a small town so very few miles on average. I haven't taken it off-road much but enough to know how capable it is. Mostly mud / snow trails. The only crawling it saw with me was to get through the "entry" to an offroad park. I'm not sure it had ever been offroad before I picked it up. Very clean interior. Drives incredibly well. Steers straight and no bump steer (not a fun problem to chase down). It really is a pleasure to drive and have no hesitation to take this thing anywhere.
I'll work on getting interior photos together. I will likely make a google drive for easier access.
