I am having a little trouble with photo bucket. I will figure it out tomorrow night. Have to get some rest. Let it be known, BJ-40's are the slower than JD tractors but you will save so much on fuel that you can make them cherry! I also have ties with some friends in Australia that have huge ties to the cruiser world. I have spent a lot of time there as well. I had to leave because my mouth was drying out due to my jaw dropping every second on the streets looking at awesome cruisers. Too bad they are all right hand drive. If people are scared of shipping costs, dont be. There is a service called Ro-Ro. It means roll on and roll off. All done in the belly of a ship. No container. I shipped a cruiser to costa rica one time and it cost less than 500 bucks. I have had cruisers sent from Cali. to Louisiana for twice that much. I think I am going to go for the silver package on mud just because the time I have wasted would have been worth the 10 dollars.

You can email me (pscottbx@yahoo.com) or call me and we'll figure the photobucket out. Picasa is also good. You just copy and past the "IMG" address in here.

As far as imports, I'll take two when you have time please :D You find a rig and I'll take it ... I have to find some room first...or a new :princess:

I'll also take a 12HT and a H55F when you down there again...lol.

I know where there are 2 city blocks full of Bjs in Costa Rica They are all white. Old government rigs. At least 600 maybe more. I will be returning in October or November for business and could point someone in the right direction if they would like to go to Costa Rica. Flights are around $400 to $500. You could also ship containers of 3b motors for real cheap. Containers go from the Port of Limon in Costa Rica to New orleans. $2000 for a 40 foot container. I have used a shipping agent in New Orleans in the past to transport goods to Costa Rica, including my FJ-60 which I drove home after it rutted up Central America.

Wow, thats awesome. Can I stow away in your luggage. :lol: How about a group buy on the government issue BJ40's. I'm in. :)
 
This is my BJ-40 in Costa Rica. She runs awesome. She is not going to win any beauty comps. I will leave it looking like this except for painting the roof and the bezel white. You dont really want a cherry rig down there for 2 reasons. Mine rubs on the side of the mountain carved roads all the way to the roof and if it looks great it will get stolen. Not bad for $2500. You can see cracked finder other than that it is in good shape. No rust. As I mentioned before I am putting a 4 inch lift and D lockers in the rear. It doesnt have power steering so I am told its a bad idea to put lockers on the front. I will put mud chains in the front. When you pay 2500 mud isnt such a bad idea after all. Amost forgot, no roll bar. Most Costa rican cruisers never came with that option. I am having one made. And the front turn signals are from a 70 series. They still sell new 70's there so most 40's put these on to look newer. It came with the rig. I dont like it. The rubber cones on front and rear bumpers are stock from Toyota. This is a costa rican option that we didnt get. Looks kinda goofy but works good for pushing.

Very nice. Its great to see the clean garage queens but I enjoy seeing them used for what they were intended for. Thanks for sharing the pics. What about the FJ60 I see it peaking out behind the 40 in the pic above. :)
 
reply to volunteer, the blue 60 is my old faithfull. She is the one that has been to 9 countries with me. You will see that I made a new thread with other pics of her. it is the costa rican thread.
 
Back to tabascoloco,

I just made a new thread " fj-60 and BJ-40" It had a 3b motor. Maybe it was a 42. I dont know for sure. I dont know everything about them but I sure do love them and think about them all the time. Its like a song you cant get out of your head
 
Thanks everyone. I have seen all member rigs on BSLCA. Very nice cruisers! I look forward to meeting everyone and rigs! Larry, should I still post pics of my cruisers at the link you provided for me in this thread? I feel kinda strange throwing up all of these pics. I dont want to seem like a pretentious a**.
