Where do you find these things? - long wheelbase Sami and a BJ? (of course the diesel FJ was a swap - but you still had to find Toy parts) Great find anyway. |

It was a Canadian HJ-60 that I swapped a newer Toyota 1HZ 4.2 liter inline six in. Lol. Canadian friends..... |

Nice choice, it this the model with Coil springs or the one with Leaf Springs? We used to get it here in mainland Europe with the VM 5 cly 2500, it i remember correctly it came with leaf springs the earlier models, then with coils. Nice littel work mule. Fil. |

Pip, the BJ-74's are leaf springs. The 1990 and newer HZJ-73's are coil springs. Most people couldnt tell the difference looking at them. The 73's had the 1HZ 4.2 liter six whereas the BJ-74 had the 3.4 liter four banger. |

Joe, it's a shame that model was never imported here in the UK no matter what kind of engine it had, personally I think it would have been a great sucess as it was in the rest of Europe (France, Germany & Italy). If found one in good nick I could be well tempted. Fil. |
