Was it completely outfitted with cross country items? Like roof rack, aluminum traction aid units, and was it from Sweden?
If so, I've seen it, met him, took lots of pics while he watched
us Americans do our best to break our Cruisers! A couple of us did. Broken Drivline and rear t-case output explosion. Full mushroom cloud and all!!
If that's not the same 75, then I haven't seen it!!!

There's a guy who lives down the street from me (Redwood Schity, CA)with a newish (2001-2002?) HZJ78 (coils in front) from Israel. Mudrak lifted it. 4x4Labs built the rear bumper. and someone else put an aftermarket Turbo on it. The owners are a married couple with a little tyke. They drive that thing everywhere. Brought it in on a work visa. He wants to have the roof converted to be a pop-top tent. Maybe same people?

Maybe that is the one...is it white? Ya this one did not have a rack on the top...just nice bumpers and a lil lift. It was a couple with a lil kid. Maybe you can get some pics since i didnt?
