One of my other toys BJ73

Wanted to share my other Truck by Mr T that is slowly coming along, but it is a driving work in progress that is a ton of fun.

Thi is a 1986 Spanish Import BJ73, so it is LHD. It has the 3B Diesel and 5-Speed H55 Trans. I have wanted a 70 series Land Cruiser for as long as I can remember, I have always thought they were so basic they were just cool. The 3B is a hardy engine but for highway driving was a bit anemic so some changes had to be made.

Mods;
Turbocharged
Modified WRX TMIC
Secondary 12v power supply and fuse panel (truck is 24v)
3" OME Lift
2.5" sts exhaust
In process of adding scoop for TMIC
In dash GPS
Temp/Boost/EGT Gauges
Made an overlay to convert the speedo from KPH to MPH
Made interior panels out of steel to get rid of brittle cardboard
Cut all rust out, welded in steel
LED Headlights

It's loud, brash, in your face, archaic and more fun than should be legal. This truck confuses people and is a good source of entertainment

With my RCF;
