I'm afraid to go to the mall without lockers, so all of our mall crawlers are equipped, even the wife's, LOL! Love the truck and I agree. When I was young no one had them. I wish I was in the income/lifestyle range to own one like this!!I will have to respectfully disagree with you that just because it does not have lockers, it means is just cruising to the mall. I have taken this rig across country many times, have explored awesome areas, have gone down some awesome trails, sure I have gone to the mall but is because its actually been my DD as well. I have never felt the need for lockers.
I wish I was Rich like u Charlie! ?Between 1969 and 89 I had a FJ40 (did the Rubicon solo with Perkins diesel conversion and SM420), then a FJ45 and the BJ40. All with open diffs. But I got stuck quite a few times. When I did the locker thing on the BJ, and my F350 with poptop, self extrication became much easier. I can’t imagine getting through bad situations in my 12 ton Unimog camper without lockers and a couple of other features. And I don’t regard trips to other continents as opportunities to try and get stuck. But it can happen off highway. Not the least when you’re looking for a safe quiet place to camp for the night.
The vehicle for sale is cosmetically really nice, but does have a few miles. Probably sourced from Australia; lockers were and are a common factory option on Oz 75s. It’s gotta be ~$4k+ to buy and install 2 lockers these days. Enough so I’m recycling a Detroit and ARB from a defunct BJ60 to my “new” OJ50. And I’m not poor by most measures.
