| Nice rig and some pretty country.... I see a lighter green vehicle next to where the rear bumper is being installed....which has a full rack with a bunch of mounts. Long setup to the simple question: any idea what brand rack it is? I like it too...

| the green 60 series belongs to luke porter at 4x4 labs. I'll wager that rack is his own design. it is very nice.
the french 80 series is the bright light blue 80 just below the luke porter photo

| Nice truck Simon! I hope we can meet again at CM07. You were quite busy with the bumper install at CM06 but it sure came out great! Many of us were reluctant to cut the rear cross-member but I'm now past that stage and the improved departure angle on Luke's rear bumper is a great improvement for the 80.

| Nice. It's good to see a well built rig that's more in line with what I can do. Looks good.

| That's a great looking 93. Mine looks exactly like your "before" pic. What do the 4x4 Lab rear bumbers run? It looks pretty good.

| looks great.
Where did you find the info on importing from the US.
I had the same deliema in 2001... saw a used one with 120k for 30,000 or a 2000 4runner with 50K for same.
I went with the 4 Runner but same situation.. its too small. I'm looking now for an HJ80.
I gather your experience of buying from the states was painless?

| Tommy,
i researched it myself but there is a thread here now on how to do it. it was a time consuming process but painless except for the vendor's nose stretchers. your mileage may vary.
