Charles, I thought we needed another cool truck on the right coast...
1. Year and model of vehicle: 1986 BJ75 with 1HZ + turbo from 1HDT... so an alphabet soup LHD BHZ-TJ 75, with factory cable lockers.
2. IH8Mud Handle: svsisu
3. Location of vehicle: Outer Banks, USA
4. Country of Origin: Denmark (Ex Danish Fire Service Truck) but been in the US for a few years already.
5. Mileage on the truck odometer: 200,000 km
6. Modifications, if any: Maybe not mods, but lots of improvements done by previous owner- Lizard Skin interior, engine swap and turbo added, rebuilt axles (both), rebuilt transfer case and H55 with 4:1 crawler gears installed, new brakes all around, lift and 35" tires added. Probably leaving a lot of items out...
7. How you use the truck- DD, work truck, OBX beach buggy and trash removal machine, surf mobile and long range travel vehicle.
PSA: wherever you go in the great outdoors please follow the backpackers mantra and pack out what you pack in. And it doesn't hurt to pick up what some careless person left behind. Thanks!

IF YOU OWN A LEGALLY REGISTERED 70 SERIES IN THE U.S., PLEASE TAKE TIME TO REGISTER IT HERE. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE NOW 70 SERIES EVENTS ON BOTH COAST AND HAVING THIS THREAD IS VERY HELPFUL FOR THOSE THAT PLAN THOSE EVENTS?
.....Thanks

1. Year and model of vehicle
1991 FJ75 Troopy
2. IH8Mud Handle
FJ40|RUNNER
3. Location of vehicle
Fountain Hills, Arizona, USA
4. Country of Origin
Kuwait
5. Mileage on the truck odometer, in KMs please
510,000 km
6. Modifications
Roof rack, surely some creative field repairs to be uncovered
6. How you use the truck- DD, trail rig, garage queen, etc.
Travel rig for girlfriend and I, wanted something that would be more livable for further and longer trips than the FJ40 while retaining offroad capability.
Intent is to do a running cleanup and build, nothing crazy, short list will be setting up the interior for our travel, locking it up, winch, and possibly 4:1 tcase. Longer term (god willing
) unsure what will happen with the 3F, swap or rebuild.
@Arizona Jeff how unbelievable is it that the two latest entries are Fountain Hills trucks? Would love to see the rig sometime, to say our rigs are on opposite ends of the clean spectrum would be an understatement!
