Hi I have to admit that I also have a 5-speed diesel in the Netherlands.
Previous owner gave me this picture were they were moving the Eiffel tower a few metres as requested by the préfet and 20 arrondissements of Paris (Fluctuat nec Mergitur you know

From 13-08-2011 I have been working on it and I learned driving in landcruisers/4x4 in Africa @ age 16.
I registered at I hate mud because every search for info directed me to this site:
* I don't really like the scroll-adds, the forced membership and forced login to see full screen pictures *
>At this point your web-browser is not kaputt or frozen: I added to many pictures, stupidly<
Page 2 and 3 are crashing phones and tablets: wait for picture loading, from page 4 I will use less pictures.
I also get more info from these websites:
Much info here, the first site a Toyota owner learns about but the fiches are now hidden:
ToyoDIY.com
and here:
Запчасти для автомобилей Toyota| Купить запчасти для японской автомобилей и мототехники по оптимальным ценам в интернет-магазине «Мегазип» 03
Small parts I buy from the dealer, if a part is hard to find email a dealer, find one that still likes the old stuff.
My dealer really helps me and gets the dealer software to relist none available parts, then orders and gets it closed again (very funny)
I always asked my father to drive trough mud and he always refused. I understand now that getting stuck alone in the rain-period in Bangladesh, Tanzania or Peru is not the same as getting stuck for fun with plenty of help around.
My father has never liked or enjoyed being stuck; It gave him the creeps just as he hates snakes so I was kind of teaching him the possibilities of the 4x4 cars. For snakes he used a few gallons of diesel and an bonfire

The drivers he had also were quite skilled so they made their way trough the deserts and monsoon season.
Sometimes our house had a few landcruisers (hj/fj60, fj55) and landrovers (county 110) parked, but we used our Nissan sunny / Daihatsu rocky to drive to school (how honest, too honest but if corruption is all around and about to swallow you you better give a good example)
The Toyota's are for work my father said, and so I decided to go with him to the inland's for water and soil projects.
the "other" 4x4

When we got stuck in a big traffic jam because a truck broke its axle I convinced my father to drive around it in 4x4 low. The crowd was cheering as the rocky made it around ploughing through mud destroying bushes and we made a new African road! My brother and I had so much fun and my father had some more belief in our trial skills

The same happened in Peru driving trough rivers and beaches; we got used to 4x4low life

this is were I grew up:

The hj60 model I bought was ok for the money as they are expensive overhere and it had a whole book full of bills/labour with it. Rust is bad but technically it has never died on me and after 20000 km in a year it still gets better every month


I wil be using this place to describe my fun and tears, and ask for help if needed.
Metz, fort Jeanne de Arc underground tunnels
And this is why I need a towing vehicle:
The Subaru Forester is also very good for mud, but better for snow and save with the family:
Atol 550 with 140 Hp Johnson Bombardier. prop=24 pitch
-18 celcius and I had to glow two times, replaced 6 glowplugs and now it starts immediatly:
I got stuck in -18 and that was cold

I have rented 4x4 cars in Peru (toyota hi-lux), in Chile (hyundai galloper), Egypth (nissan pathfinder), Kreta (suzuki vitara), Turkey (suzuki samurai), kos (suzuki vitara), Tunesia (desert run in renault clio...)
