Credit for that should go to my friend Joshua with the cool FJ62, as he did the report. The irony is that right after this trip he went out and bought a '98 TJ, in additon to his Cruiser!

You reminded me I needed to update my page, for quite awhile now too, so thanks! We have another run scheduled for 6/25 to the "Ice Caves". We tried it in February, but the trail was too buried. Somehow it doesn't sound as much fun in June....

So I'm assuming your 74 is a JDM RHD? Can you tell us some more about it? You're the first on this board, so brag it up a little! I'm sure no one here will mind - :jumping:

Gold Boy;
A few questions if you don't mind:
1)13B-T diesel engine: Is this the same engine that was sold in Canadian BJ70 models ( I am wondering about parts and service in Canada)? What kind of real world fuel economy have you been getting. What is your opinon of the 13B-T v 4.2 NA (one of the available units I am looking at has the 4.2, fr and rr lockers and 24v warn winch)
2)Payload: "400 (250)kg" is it 400 or 250?
3)Were there any modifications required to the vehicle once it arrived in Canada, either due to gov't regs or practical issues?
4) If you remove the roof, what happens to the rear doors?

Thanks
Mark

4Rescue,

You are a lucky man, both for having lived in AU and for owning a 70 series UTE! :clapsmile
