75 was troopy or ute.
Troopy became 78, ute became 79.
71 is still in production, 70 is not.
73 is not in producrion.

 

[cruiserdan]

More than most would

When did they stop
Such an iconic trim!.

The 70 was replaced by the 71 when the wide nose was introduced in 2007.

The original 71 had the 13BT

Can we have this conversation someplace else? Start another thread.

Thanks.

 

[cruiserdan]

Sorry?

Are somewhat pertinent tangents now not acceptable?

Hello,

Just a quick note:

1. The first 71 model was the BJ71, a BJ70 with the 13B-T engine, from 1985 to 1990/1 (From memory, correct me if I am wrong.)
2. The second, and current, 71 model, replaced the FJ/BJ/FZJ/PZJ/HZJ70 in 1999.
3. Wide nose variants starting in 2007 retained the 71 designation.
4. 71 model variants include the HZJ71, FZJ71 and GRJ71. I would include VDJ71, but it appears to be an unconfirmed sight.

Understanding model numbers and chassis designations has nothing to do with a registration thread. Not even tangential.

 

[cruiserdan]

Fair enough.

Hence forth I shall endeavor to remain on-topic, totally boring, uninformative and uninteresting.

My apologies for causing a disturbance in the force. (at my advanced age my mind occasionally wanders and it's sometimes difficult to stay on subject). I have deleted all of my post.

Just getting around to posting here. Started a thread called "tale of two troopies" in the 70 tech section. Both Troopies are Euro spec (LHD, 3B diesel), both found in France. Troopy number one was built in 1989, Troopy number two in 1987. Without further ado, here's Troopy number 1 when I picked it up in France; later, at the Port of Newark, NJ the day I picked it up; and on the way across the USA, stopped at the Bonneville Salt Flats (to set a new Troopy land speed record!)

Troopy number two is (finally) on the boat from Europe. There was a bit of a paperwork mixup in France, but that's all straight now. Really looking forward to getting this one! Super clean, only 65,000 original km, one owner from new, never used commercially--basically an errand car for the hardware store, otherwise it's been in the garage. Here it is on the day we picked it up at the villa in France:

The stripes have got to go! Luckily, they're just stickers, and they're half falling off anyway. And I'll be painting the wheels gray. The white is original, I just like gray better.

 

[gilmorneau]

Troopy number one, BTW, has already been sold. Buyer is on 'Mud, so you should see a build thread start soon on that one. I won't give away the surprise, but he has BIG plans for it! Troopy number 2 will be my keeper. I have modest plans for a build, but intend to keep the 'plain Jane, bone stock, basic model' look. Should be able to post more pics when it arrives at Port in the USA. Since I'm currently in Australia, my brother has kindly agreed to pick it up for me and store it inside until I get back. What a guy!

29 pages of registered 70 Series now in the U.S. Not to shabby.

Do you have a scorecard? That is, how many 70's?, how many 73's?, Troopies?, pickups? Just curious. And too lazy to do it myself.
