Where from, I got a quote of $8000 from Allied Pickfords.

45 Series Troop Carrier This is a longer wheelbase version of the 40. This truck was spotted in Costa Rica. This style was not generally available in the USA although some were imported discreetly. Australia got their first FJ45 troopies in 1976, these were all soft top models with full hard doors ...

I have my troopy on EBAY http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4603449540&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 And some guy in the USA wants to buy it but also wants me to arrange transport, so far the emails have only stated.. > I would like to buy your landcruiser. Do you have any ...

Car needs an engine, took it to the local guy and he stated around $5000 for it to be repaired, he also stated he couldn't get a engine like it, I made 2 calls and found one for $1100 delivered.

Think so, still haven't checked everything on it yet, will find out more today as it is a present for the missus. Estima is a imported 4WD Tarago, it has Estima badges on the back and Lucida on the side. It comes with Power windows, Air Con, Sun Roofs, Hot cold box and lots of other wonderful things ...

Bought one for $2500, has a turbo diesel in it, the motor is rattly, the turbo is a reco one, bloaws smoke, any idea what a engine is worth for this or is it cheaper to rebuild?

I could always pull the good 2F out of the troopy and put it in the 60 series, do the 2 engine swaps as the motor in the troopy is realy good and strong, the guy who used to own it told me he had it rebuilt and used only quality parts, cost him a fortune he stated.

My old 60 series has been playing up with the current need of a carby, radiator, etc, now they say the motor is almost buggered, whats a 3F worth, its a 2F and looks old, but were wondering, this vehicle used to have a V8 in it, you can see where the mounts were cut and replaced, how easy is it to ...

Welll that was a guess I am guessing by the local discount cruiser parts guy, I am also getting a rebuilt carby from him, $275 changeover.

Does $400 for a new radiator for my 60s wagon with a 2F engine sound good?

I am sending my 60 series wagon in to get the roof done today, I need to know, can you get replacement chrome for around the gutters still or do I need to source some old but good ones from wreckers?

thinking why not, the wagon is a bit slow, its a FJ62, it has a 2F in it on gas, it has previously been a V8 powered beast but I think they changed it back to sell. Will a 350 bock bolt straight onto the 5 speed, which would be better for both power and ecomical, 253, 308 or 350? Would I need to get ...

Just a thought, I would love to lift my troopy, you see the shorties lifted all the time, but not troopies. Mate has a shortie and he reckons I could run 40 inch tyres, most people state that the motor will not turn them (2F) but he reckons sure, it will just go a bit slower. Who needs speed?? So ...

Tail lights just don't work, there is no power to the fuse at all, wondering if there is some sort of fusable link that would be further up the line. I have some diagrams, I also have the wring loom from an earlier model, any help appreciated. What colour wire is it that comes out of the headlight ...

Doesn't anyone have a copy of the wiring loom?

Looking for a wiring diagram for this vehicle. Basicly, drove through a puddle that got water in dizzy, kept going, turned car off, then 5 mins later started it up again, muffler popped, where muffler popped it was pointing at rear loom, burnt loom, drove it for a few days like that, replaced ...

Isn't it funny how it says "Att bitsamissin" but still gets 43 views.

Fixed muffler, replaced burnt part of wiring loom, kids told missus about the puddle, I am in trouble big time.. Still have problems, fuel gauge seems to be out of whack, seems to need adjusting?? any takers here?? Also tail lights will not work, no power to fuse, checked both sides with the fuse in ...

Just lucky you took the paj otherwise you would still be waiting for a tow out of that puddle!!!! Next time go faster! or snap second! I did hear you mention that the toyota was at home???? Resting i guess after a hard week of road driving right?! Sorry but i had to stir... we love our mitsys Thats ...

Hey, I thought, yeah, 85 Pajero Wagon, puddle, fun.. Drove through this big puddle and got the car wet, kids loved it, I enjoyed it, missus does not know.. Driving down the highway it spits and splutters, yeah right, just needs a bit of a run to dry out.. Pull at chemist for the missus, start to ...

All of them are OK, could it be something to do with a fuse or ignition switch?

It rolls start, it clicks when turning the key, changed starters, where next to look???

Have to convince the misses that the tail gate is better, she will eventualy come around.

Missus wants a nissan because it has the barn doors, I would prefer the toyo cause the availability of parts in the outback is better. I would also want a diesel, was it an option for the barn doors on the more expensive models. We are looking at going around Aust with a caravan attached so comfort ...

Do they come out with barn doors on the back or are they all the up and down type doors?

are these expensive to replace?

Also there is some sort of can, filter or pump or something attached to the head next to the carby, about 3-4 fuel lines go into it, it is leaking petrol, are these easy to fix / replace?

Apart from the rust. It has a vibration, like, I remember when I had a HX 253, I damaged the Alternator fan, it is vibrating like that, my brother is a bit of an expert and he seems to think I may have picked something up under the car, but you rev the engine and it is still vibrating, I am thinking ...

Sure is.

Drove it the other night, gears seem real sloppy, clutch also needs to be adjusted, motor will not idle but appears to run OK, won't start unless you poor fuel down the carby, thinking, maybe the electric pump is cactus as it continues to click as in trying to pump the fuel. need to get price on ...

My old man had a EH holden wagon, took the gearbox out and rebuilt it on the side of a gravel road once, it broke down, he pulled it out and fixed it, took him 2 hours.

Dad was a bit of a bushy mechanic.
