CP90, do you have a 40? We have a house on the west coast and want something fun for out there and keep circling on various FJ40….until I saw this '93 Troopy.

I think I can talk myself into the validly of this as an Island/mainland rig! It might even go 72mph!

That looks sweet! You need it.
And it has extra space over a regular 40.
Yessir, I do have a 40, as do a few other lucky *******s or tormented souls on this thread - because depending on the day it can be either way.
I like the looks of that troopy a lot. I don't know what your expectations are for your fun-west-coat-rig... but it's not even in the same ballpark with the troopy. The 40 is pretty slow and primitive compared to such a later model LC.
I love my little tractor and the fact that is the way a lot of owners describe them should tell you right up front what to expect. Around town or down farm roads they aren't particularly fast, they don't ride the best, they provide only the basic comforts, and they don't fit more than 2 2026 sized adults. That said, they have the soul of a mountain goat and when you pull onto the trail they make you feel like you're leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The only thing stops them on a mountain pass is line of admirers who want a closer look. If you choose to work on one yourself you build a reciprocal relationship and the deeper you get into it, the deeper it gets into you. 40s aren't for everybody and even after I bought mine I wasn't certain they were for me, but once I let it take root... I came to love it.
Somewhere between Lajitas and Presidio.

Kinda regret not buying this FJ that a couple of my friends owned. I think he sold it for $8K
I've nearly committer to several fJ40s. All with 2F engines; and another project to bring back to near showroom quality . I get slow. I think my FZJ80/1FZ-FE is slow; but at least it would make it over the Coronado Bridge and could be used on the freeways of San Diego. A 40 would strictly be a beach buggy on the mean streets of Coronado. My wife wants me to ship the 80 there; but I'm too in love with it as my daily here. That 75 troopy might just be the best of both worlds. I'm asking you to talk me into the 75!
I'll make it easy. Get the 75. Not because of what the 40 isn't, but for what the 75 is. For shooting around town and taking more folks with you - that's the play.
I'm planning on driving my 40 to my nephew's wedding in Johnson City in March. I'm planning a route the keeps me off the big road as much as possible. I'm comfy at 62-65 mph, but when everyone is driving 80, well, I don't want someone checking their email to crunch my baby.

Looking at it again, and the seller's profile, you must insist on an independent pre purchase inspection.

Take it to Tandem or Goode's, or see if Joey @ 4runner house will look it over.
That seems like a "comprar aqui pagar aqui" lot, not a classic Toyota enthusiast.
Pablo & Tony @ Tandem do all my work when I'm not confident or have the right equipment (anything requiring front alignment)

Duggy's garage or Javier's
Dropped it off at Duggy's just now and saw this in the showroom. Good ideas for wife's anniversary later this year.
This is the most we've used the LX for off road....
Crap, $2,500 for the valley leak. Is that the going rate these days?!
Got another quote for less and I'm having the air diverter changed as well since that broke when having the valley leak fixed on my Tundra. Hope it's done today.
I passed by this one at our local used car lot in Marshall and thought it looked cool.

Feeling good about what I paid for my 2021 HE with 50k on it.
Value maintenance on the 200 series is pretty crazy right now.
I wanted a Heritage, but needed the 3rd row for the family.

Crazy that this actually seems like the buyer got a good deal.

Not to pour salt in wounds, but my Heritage has the 3rd row.
depends on what you want, I think I would have prioritized the the refresh (2016+) than low mileage

This is very broad, but does anyone have an idea of what $40-$50k of shop work could get me on my FJ80?
I'm looking at buying a Jeep Gladiator or Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster next week. If I get the Gladiator, I'm gonna send my FJ80 to a shop, and spend the costs difference there.

That's right where I'm in my 97 FZJ80. Spent $14k on it and have somewhere around $35-40k additional. I'm now spending to spend. I could have stopped @ $28-30K. I wanted a daily driver that's not boring. I was all over the Grenadier when it was announced. Number 412 on the wait list. Then I saw and drove it. Early models had 3d printed knobs and ****ty build quality.
Where are you. I'm in DFW if you want to see what a $50k restomod FZJ80 looks like. Mines better than factory and I'm now systematically replacing parts, even though there is nothing wrong with them, with new OEM just because I want to get another 25 years/250K miles out of it.

Wow, that thing is beautiful. Where in DFW?
Your photos pretty much told me to get the Gladiator. That thing is clean. I'm just outside College Station.

Nice! How many parts have been discontinued that you've come across?
Very nice! I'm in Fort Worth and have a 100 with 319k miles on it. I'm to the point where I need to figure out whether to keep throwing money at it or hold out for the 60 that I've always wanted.
It's paid for and runs like a champ, and I love to drive it. But it needs quite a bit to get to where you have that 80.
I would love to find a nice restomod 60 for my daily. I've seen a few folks throwing a 60 body on an 80 frame for the upgraded suspension.

You'd be surprised on how much is still available. It's just that it all comes from either Japan, UAE or Australia. When you buy parts, I buy in mass to lower the freight cost per part to as low as possible. And it's taking 2-3 weeks so plan ahead. Only part I've bought used is a a/c mixer servo that sits on top of the condenser. Even then it was likely new. There are several well known Land Cruiser parts stores that part-out old wrecked cruisers.
Send me your address and I'll send you one of my decals!
I'll do that deal with you. I'll DM you my address, let's swap, so when you find your 40 for Cali you can piss off the natives.
Alternator died on my 98 as we pulled into our camping spot for the weekend.
There isn't a lot of storage room in this vehicle so I had to get creative. These house things like jumper cables, battery pack, cargo net, ratchet straps, basic first aid kit etc.
Pretty happy with how they turned out.

A friend was able to bring me a new alternator and we were able to swap it while camping yesterday. Able to drive home without problems.
Kind of a pain to get to. Had to take off the power steering pump to remove the alternator and the plug at the back was really rough to get out of. Luckily I was able to hold it and move it from below while a friend was able to better reach things from above. We were also able to pull the alternator out going up that way rather that pull the radiator hoses to go out the shorter way from below.
Not the most ideal camping experience, but made it back home safely.
Make sure you check your battery terminals connections, I thought my alternator had gone bad on my 1999 100 series and it ended up being the connections where the wires terminated to the battery connections had started to corrode causing an intermittent battery light. I know you've gone ahead and replaced your alternator, but if your light comes back on, check this next.
Thanks. I drove about 90 minutes back home and it is all working well. But I also probably need to rewire half of this thing because the previous owner is an idiot.
