Only the short wheelbase bj42 got the 5 spd. No hj47’s got a 5spd from the factory.

Ok good to know for some reason I thought the 1983 / 84 had 5 speeds. Also someone on mud has connections in middle east if you are interested in troopies.....

@edmond4822 has brought a few over from the Middle East. Don’t think he’s got anything right now, but might have leads.
Middle East is LHD.

This is great information since I don't know all the models offered and where. Can you tell me what years they where built ? If the BJ45 was offered in a pick-up and has most of my other boxes checked, I would surely would be interested.
Thanks, Dog_River
Based on some quick searches, Europe got the BJ45 from 81-84. I did see HJ47 listed for European-spec, too, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one listed for sale.
In fairness, I’ve also seen many more BJ45s as Troopies versus pickups, but the pickups are out there.
In Australia, the Ute (cab, no bed) is far more common than the traditional style side pickup.

I moved there in 92 so about the same time, I guess, I owned The Winery, Firehouse, and RPM/Engine Room. I’ve been back a few times. Seems like it’s growing up a lot, I’m not sure I liked it
. I ended up backing out of that Troopy because of a problem with the VIN plate. Today I bought an FJ70 to accompany my 45 pickup to the US next month. Still looking for a Troopy though.

Here’s an example of a BJ45 Troopy in Germany. 1984 with factory power steering.
I started my search for a LHD 45 pickup when I first got stationed in Italy. They exist, but good survivers are rare. Plenty of "frame off" stuff if you have the coin. I ended up falling in love with the troopies during my hunt. Keep in mind our bros overseas treat them pickups about as good as we do - used as intended.
Fwiw, BJ45 - top = pickup

My hybrid 82 bj45 Troopy/ pickup!
Now that’s a sweet little pickup!
