Spotted a Hilux casually parked on the side of Buckhorn Road.

Not normally one for submitting to spotted since I'm such a greenhorn when it comes to LCs, but this one really caught my eye. Is this one of you guys? Can anyone tell me anything about this LC, because it looks totally different than what I'm used to seeing.

Nice looking deflared 80 in Dillon yesterday. Some awesome looking seats up front.

BJ71 or 73 I think. @stusic wife has one (that used to belong to Angelo) that has the same decals. Non-US, short wheel base, diesel 70 Series. Note the steering wheel on the right side instead of the left.

Pretty sure its a 73 or 74 due to the frp top

Once it gets past the minutia I'm admittedly lost on 70 Series designations. Thanks for the correction.

I just had a conversation with somebody this week who owns a 71 and they were trying to explain the differences in 76/77/78 to me and I just don't get it. Throw the Prado versions in and my brain starts cooking.

Haha. I feel you, I only know because I have a bj71 that came off the production line probably the same day as Angelos/stustics. I kind of wish I had the 74 because the mid wheel base.

Agreed, also the gigantic front bumper. Might be JDM, they were big into chrome.

The '81 was in front of my shop, I waited for the owner to emerge from getting their chiro next door, turns out it belongs to one of my customers! It has a little over 200k on the clock and one of the most rust free but unrestored examples I have seen in years.

You found me! I was eyeballing that cool 80 behind me and wondering who it was. I appreciate you respecting that my top speed is about 65 and not riding my tail haha.

Two questions:

1. Is the front tire flat?
2. Where is this?

That area has to be one of my favorite. Need to get up there soon. Haven't been through South Park yet with all the green we have in the mountains.

 

[rushthezeppelin]

Saw this on Santa Fe today.
