Hello, I have a 1989 HJ61 with starting problems. When trying to start, I get what I think are two clicking sounds. One at the starter and one at the starter relay. I am usually able to the truck to start after several tries. Once started I believe I'm still hearing the starter still...

Trying to install 12 volt backup camera on my 24v HJ61. Will have the camera directly wired to reverse tail light so goes on when vehicle is put in reverse. Does anyone know what type of 24v to 12v step-down converter should be used in the wiring at the rear tail light? There are many types...

I tried to purchase the truck from the selling dealer in Japan that Dr Jay referred to in this post. We had agreed on a price contingent on the dealer providing a video of the engine running. He refused to send a video so I didn't purchase. The dealer went out of business and put all his...

This truck has been for sale off and on for the past 8 mos.

The seller didn’t post a working phone number.
