FOR SALE 1992 HZJ75 TOYOTA TROOP CARRIER - 4WD - DIESEL - LOW MILEAGE - STUNNING CONDITION - WILL NOT DISAPPOINT
This Troopy was purchased new by the Miriam Vale (Qld) SES, & sold to it's second owner with just 7000kms on it's clock 2 years later. I purchased it from the second owner 12 months ago with 152,000kms on it and had the intention of converting it to a remote area camper, but our plans have changed & the troopy is no longer needed.
Above all I wanted a reliable vehicle which I could trust to take us far off the beaten track around Australia for many years to come. This Troopy fits that bill perfectly, with it's low mileage & exceptional condition, a regular service history. This is a troopy that has been loved & cared for, had an easy life & never been bashed across rocks, on a beach etc, in fact this troopy has never seen worse than a gravel road! It's paint is original - never crashed/repainted. It is rust free throughout & has no leaks.
Although this vehicle is 18 years old, you would never know it. It starts, runs, drives & handles like new. Very rarely do you find an exceptional, genuine reliable vehicle like this one, for sale. It would go anywhere tomorrow & would suit the most discerning buyer. Naturally there are a few very minor rubs & scratches on & in the vehicle …… but probably no more than you might expect to find on an average two or three year old car (and I mean it!).
Inspection will not disappoint.

Yeah Yeah Yeah I asked for it :-) ....................... but you never know who might pop in for a look.
Besides which 1Hz's do have some advantages over the Nissan TDi. (Wash my mouth out with soap). P*ss poor access to the engine block coolant drain plug had me cursing yesterday, & replacing the two oil filters (which turned out to be two of the same btw) was also a PIA. Had to remove the fuel filter first & even then access was pretty squeezy.
A question
Do folks usually change the fuel filter at the same time as their oil filter(s)?
Oh & whilst I'm here, I'll have a whinge.... just 'cos I can.
A couple of days ago I visited Supercheep to buy oils,fuel & oil filters & coolant for the Patrol. Diffs, gearbox/transfer case & engine + coolant. Admittedly I ended up with 4 litres of gearbox oil & a filter I didn't need (because of Nissan's apparent propensity to chop & change specs during production runs). I bought reasonable quality (Penrite, Nulon, Ryco) but almost fell over when it was added up at the till.....$480! Strewtharama!
Mind you if i'd used the full synthetic Penrite oils I put in the troopy's gearbox/trans & diffs it would've been more.

Just be glad you did the job yourself. If you'd taken it to Nissan for a major service like that you would have been charged close to 3 times that amount.
Doesn't surprise me Tony, it took me close to a day & a half stuffing around. Mind you it'd be a lot quicker next time. Discovering a way to line up that coolant drain plug was what took most time. (Identifying the drain plug took a while too). Couldn't get it with a half inch drive socket & extension, but eventually managed it with a 1/4" drive socket & multiple short extensions, plus a grazed knuckle.
