The Perfect Vintage Land Cruiser? Carl Montoya's Toyota HJ75 Trakka Bushman Troop Carrier

It's got everything you need & maybe a bit more. Nicknamed “Cobby Bob”
After an Australian Bushman we met during an outback trip to Old Andado Station, Australia - This is the vehicle, I bought it from him, empty, bad motor, and needing refreshed, but overall great looking, really unique truck It was equipped as listed, had original “Roberts Lockers” Pre-ARB taking rights, cool. No compressor etc. Wanted to keep it in somewhat original state but with some modifications for reliability, drivability and offroad ability.

Engine:

Engine Swap done by Torfab: Later Model Toyota Turbo Diesel, 1HD-FT 4.2L I-6 Direct Injected, All new belts, Hoses, starter, accessories, etc (The 1HD-FT is a 4.2 L (4164 cc) straight-6 24 valve DOHC turbocharged diesel engine of direct injection design. Bore is 94 mm and stroke is 100 mm, with a compression ratio of 18.6:1. Known as the "multivalve" it has 4 valves per cylinder (2 inlet, 2 exhaust), central vertically mounted injector, and no glow plugs but rather an intake glow screen heater (like the later electronic 1HD-FTE below). The 4 valves per cylinder are actuated by the DOHC, by using bridges so each rocker actuates a pair of valves. Output is 168 hp (125 kW) ECE at 3600 rpm with 380 N·m (280 ft-lb) of torque ECE at 2500 rpm. Originally equipped in Toyota Coaster Bus HDB50 1995/07-1999/07 Landcruiser HDJ80 1995/07-1999/07
