The cost of just about any HJ45 is not just the cost of the truck. You really have 2 routes: 1. Restore which is great but not real usable in modern areas due to the need for higher speeds. 2. Re-Engineer for modern speeds, engine, transmission, brakes, etc... No matter the choice it will be a lot more money past purchase price! I will likely put it back on the market soon.
I am finding out those costs first hand, well sort of. Everything so far has been minor. Mine gets up to freeway speed ;-) but I try to stay off them. Oh btw, congrats on the marriage. Enjoy the honeymoon.

I have a 2016 landcruiser 76. I’m from the US, but live overseas. I love it and wish I could take it to the US. Since I can’t, I’ll stay away for awhile longer.

Yup, 1985 BJ70 CDN spec. Bought it about 10 years ago, and since then I've put a LOT of work into restoring the body, close to 200 hours of cutting and welding. I've still got the front and rear doors to do as well - but it's back together and drivable.
Took a trip out to the east coast last summer and made a little video;

Another terrific video by you! This one even more a treat to see you out and about with your family and BJ70. I learned of a few places I've bypassed before on my way up to Cape Breton and PEI.
You're luck to have Riley and Krista along. Tell Riley he did a great job as cameraman and gimble operator.
Very cool to see these kind of videos here.
