help him get through that retarded Lower Mainland traffic
 
HI All,

Some of you will know this truck or know the owner as this truck won best in show shortly after he restored it, but Gerry is 71 years old and doesn't drive this thing much any more so would like to see it go to a good home. I am posting it on here first as I would like to see it stay in Canada if possible as he asked me to post it all around. I originally sold this to him back in the day after I bought it from Mike M while I was in University. It was in really good shape when I had it and only like 80,000km on it, but since then Gerry put a lot of money into it and had it frame off restored. Here is what he sent me for what's been done and contact info, will be posting it to the general for sale section in a few days and getting it into the Toyota Trails for him as well:

This 1981 Land Cruiser BJ42 was purchased in May 2002 in Whonnock British Columbia . Approximately 6 months later , a complete frame-off restoration project was initiated and concluded in late 2007.
