Nice to see it on the road! Looks good.
Pulled this sadness from Jalopnik today........
Imported this incredibly rare Diesel BJ42 with zebra seats. Fantastic condition. Made it all the way to the port of Baltimore from Austrailia. Car hauler dude decided to take a left halfway up. Said he couldn’t drive RHD.
The hauler didn’t tell me about any of this. Blamed the port saying they picked it up with a forklift and crunched it. Got this pic from the port.
The hauler had no insurance and disappeared. He sent a valid insurance card good for the next 6 months but he stopped paying his premium 2 months prior.
Suing him would have cost too much plus he couldn’t afford insurance so how would I get paid anyway. I went through a transport broker so got my hauling fee back but was out about $4k in damage.
I got his TWIC card pulled from the Feds. Hopefully karma will F him in the rump soon.
This is why I HATE auto transporters.

Did you buy that is that your 40 John?
No, I pulled it from a jalopik.com thread. Just a scary pic. The guy who owned the truck is sure lucky
he got the pic for insurance.
I have enough trucks. Enough. I keep telling myself.....

BUT, I met Tim who owns this epic truck yesterday. Will hope to get a ride in it. We crossed paths in REI,
he is a very nice guy. But the truck was in the shop for repairs.
FJ45 Custom Troopy build
He lives in Albuquerque. Now if I can only get enough time from flying to meet up.

One has a dented fender already...a sign of things to come.
I've never seen a front axle like that on a cruiser before; very interesting, looks beefy indeed.
Spicer diffs apparently...certainly are higher clearance.One has a dented fender already...a sign of things to come.
