Best deal, IMHO, is the HZJ76/77 (Landcruiser 70) sold in Japan...basically the same as the Oz 78 series troopie, but a complete hardtop 4-door, front/rear diff locks, live front axle on coils, rear leaf springs for payload, 5spd manual, manual front hubs available (they are part-time 4wd...no center diff), rear discs...just no airbags, no turbo diesel model, and no left-hand drive available....all for...get ready...$25-30K!! A 1HZ turbo kit (3rd party) runsn about $3K, gives 30% hp/torque boost (claim).


I think the HZJ76 is the coolest Land Cruiser ever. Still made, but seems to be very rare, I think only sold in Japan. I like it better than the Troopie and pick-up versions because it's more practicle with 4 doors, but the same chassis as the before mentioned Cruisers. Can be had with front and rear lockers as mentioned. A friend of mine who is stationed in Japan told me that a friend of his in Japan just special ordered one for something like $30K US. Man, I sure with I could special order something like that.
