c101 comando Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 toyota bj40 diesel just wondering as this is for sale not far from me and i am thinking it might be practical and fun and evan better if they were used by any armed forces for a replica or would that not playing by the rules.

chevpol Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 probably Japanese Defence Force, or somewhere similar, would be to see something done like that, as for replicas, if people can mark up RHD Citroens as WW11 German staff cars......... Mark PS, got nothing against replicas at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c101 comando Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 nor me if its almost unabtanable what else can you do i am just thinking the yota would be unusual if they were used by any forces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm sure you could mark it up as Paramilitary, A lot of security forces used them. A couple of towels on the head and some bed sheets? Trouble is Richard Hammond has also been seen in one recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Not that I know off. Have muttered about getting an old Toyota and sticking bits on though. Useful wagon in it's own right if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The Irish Army had FJ45 Land Cruisers. The Dutch Army nearly bought Land Cruisers in the 1970s. They were tested as the best 4x4 available, but the Japanese would not haggle. As it happened, Land Rover's were looking for a deal and thus we bought those. . . In other words, the FJ40 series were used by the military, so go ahead and get it and then google! Or sell it for good money to a collector in the States. . . - Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakey985 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Our Norforce used them up until the 90s long wheel base/split rims and cut down for patroling in North of Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
