Toyota : Land Cruiser BJ42

For sale is my 1984 Toyota BJ 42 Landcruiser.

It is a 24 volt (NATO Spec). Left hand drive. North American (Canadian) unit.

Only 236 of these were sold in North America making it the rarest of the rare.

1984 was the last year the BJ 42 was sold North America and it has several unique options only available to this year.

A lot of these models were lost to abuse. disrepair or poor after purchase modifications.

The BJ 42 has the original 3 B engine. Factory

power steering. Factory

5 Speed transmission as well as

Factory

front disc brakes. which make this a comfortable and reliable daily driver.

Mileage is 290000 KM.

This BJ 42 has had three owners since new. and includes the original owners manual.

She starts right up. idles great. and runs and drives very nicely. Brakes are all operational. as is the clutch. All gauges work. as do signals. headlights. tail lights. horn. interior lights and heater fan which was refuirbished with SOR parts. Seats are new SOR upholstery in original condition. The two rear jump seats are in great shape with original upholstery.

Up until recently I was using this as my daily driver.

The engine runs strong with no abnormal noises or oil leaks and doesn't smoke at all (minus cold starts).

The truck drives exceptionally well. it goes down the road straight. doesn't pull left or right and stops nicely. The four wheel drive system operates as it should.

Recently installed Bilstien shocks. greasable SOR front rear shackles and Upgraded Poly SOR bushings combined with the Tight turning radius make city driving as well as offroad a joy (for me anyhow).

highlights of this final year model that make it unique. rare and a great daily driver are:

-factory disc brakes
-factory five speed tranny
-factory power steering
-24 volt Canadian spec
-3 B Diesel engine

The engine. body. frame. and Vin all original. It has the usual rear tub rust near the rear quarters. It is UNRESTORED and UNMODIFIED (minus shocks. tires. steering components. exhaust and other wear and tear items)

Has original paint and is a perfect candidate for restoration. I myself to not have the skill. time. or funds to do it justice and have come to the conclusion that it needs a good owner who appreciates its heritage.

Work done includes mostly wear and tear stuff but since I've had it I've:

Exhaust
SOR front upholstery
SOR heater rebuild
SOR shackles. bushings
SOR tie rod ends
Old man emu steering stabilizer
Bilstien shocks
Clutch master installed. (have slave. not installed)
Toyota factory right fender
SOR rear tail lights
SOR driver/passenger and rear ambulance door seals. (Only passenger seal complete)
SOR interior carpet set (Not installed)

a 24-12 volt inverter was installed along with an aftermarket radio by the previous owner.

Take a look and please keep all comments constructive and positive.
