This particular HJ47 Toyota Landcruiser Troop Carrier is a rather unique one. It was delivered as a Commercial Vehicle to ‘Thiess Toyota P/L’ in 1984, this vehicle was then purchased by the department of Agriculture, where it would spend the first four years of its life. (Other vehicles of this final batch would find their way to the Northern Territory as Police Vehicles). It is fitted with a 2h Diesel, a 4 speed box, and an Overdrive Gearbox (not a 5 speed – refer to item description below). From the vehicles initial service at 1, 000 KMs on 11/4/85, thru to its 50, 000 KM service 3 years later, there were a total of 8 services of the vehicle during this engines critical running in period. All of the servicing was conducted by the same motor service provider ‘Luff Motors P/L’, during this period. The original documents (Owner’s Manual), and the two sets of original Toyota keys are part of the sale. Refer to the photos for the scans of the docs. The vehicle changed hands at approx mid 88’ into private ownership with 49, 834KMs on the clock, there are detailed service records of the vehicle over the following 15 years with regular oil changes at an average of not much more than 5, 000 KMs. During this period maintenance on motor on items that you would expect have been done, new Injectors (96’ 242, 000 KMs), regular changing of Diff, Transfer Case, and Gear Box fluids etc. I purchased the vehicle in 2004, with 361, 000 KMs on the clock, and the following year the odometer ceased at 368, 999 KMs – 2005. From 2005 to 2009, according to my records I travelled approx 30, 000 KMs taking the vehicles total to approx 400, 000 KMs. In 2009 I was planning a trip so installed a new Radiator (Phoenix Radiator $550), new Alternator ($288.40), had the Engine oil ‘Flushed’, and the G/box, T/case, F/Diff, R/Diff, Oils drained and replaced ($533). I am on a disability pension and spends extensive periods of being unwell, not long after this work I became most unwell again and the vehicle has really sat beside the house ever since.
