Here's my freak ride,

Name: Well my name is Richard, haven't given the vehicle a name yet but it tends to get referred to as the BattleCruiser.

Year/Model: 2001 HZJ79

Country of import: Australian delivered, re-manufactured in Dalby QLD

Kms/Miles: 210,000'ish KM's

Options/Specs: Pretty base-level spec HZJ79 without many creature comforts: no factory lockers or winch, bog standard 4.2L non-turbo 1HZ, the chassis was re-manufactured with an upgraded GVM/GCM (4.5/9t) and extra lazy axle by Six Wheelers Australia in Dalby QLD at the request of one of the previous owners pretty early in the vehicles life. I think I'm the 2nd or 3rd owner.

Mods: Apart from the obvious addition of extra wheels she's been lifted quite a bit, front and rear track have been widened up and is riding on bigger rubber but otherwise very little. There's a tired old 40channel UHF radio in it which does the job for now but will need to be upgraded to one that can do 80 channels, busted roof tent on the roof which is going to get turfed soon (I backed into a low overhanging tree branch I reckon).

Plans: Short term plans are fridge (already bought), 250-300W of solar, overhaul the 12v (thinking CTEK D250S and plenty of fat copper), mount more driving cameras for my big-*** blind spots (my monitor can take 4 inputs), Re-do all the shelving inside the canopy and figure out how to put a fullsized double mattress inside (rearmost section is slightly too short), build a deck on the roof for sitting on deck chairs and getting drunk, and then drive it everywhere.

Mid term plans are turbo, lockers, front mount winch (I carry a 4.5T rated hand-winch), and perhaps investigate converting it from 6x4 to 6x6. Long term plans are for a camper body on the back instead of the tradesman's canopy.

+1 on this, I'm sure we've got more '70 series pilots around here despite their rarity in North America!

 

[fireball]

Name
Year/Model: 1989 BJ74
Country of import: Japan
Kms/Miles: 102,000km
Options/Specs: 5spd, RHD, PTO winch, full float rear, awesome stripes and a ripper set of SUPER OFF ROADER aux lights!
Mods: Sliders, front and rear bumper, OME lift
Plans: I just purchased this a few weeks ago, just came over from Japan into Vancouver BC. It's getting some armor fitted now by Jason at Cruisin' Off road and I'm flying in BC in early Feb. to pick up the truck and drive it back to the east coast. I haven't even seen it yet! This will be my truck to take on solo trips and short weekend outings. The 100-series will remain the family rig.
