I like them. Now all Toyota has to do to jam the Hilux's 3.0L D4D TDI powerplant into it with manual transmission, and it's ready.

Sorry, I am not a fan of Kuta or of the destroyed Sari Club. I am dreaming of driving the truck with the roof off around rice paddy fields, quiet lush country roads in view of the volcanoes in the Ubud environs, not in the concrete jungle of south Bali. I am dreaming of this:

Just trying to imagine how fun it will be to drive one of these with the roof off at home in Bali...

No one's mentioned a double-cab diesel Hilux.

Show me your pix of your 40 series with the roof off...

Indonesia US$0.48 per liter / US$1.82 per US gallon

No problem. No offense taken. That being said, I am still interested in the street in Kuta where you saw the two BJ42s and where I can get a 70 series in Java or Bali. If you know where I can get an HJ47 or an HJ61, that'd be swell also.

I don't know Sparkplug. You must have Superman X-ray vision, or you're posted in areas with mining or logging operations (Papua, Kalimantan). I've now lived here in Indonesia since 2002, have visited 22 provinces, and I have yet to see a 70 years in those years. Look at the for-sale ads and...

I have yet to see a 70 series in Indonesia.

Here is Indonesia.

I think you guys may be wrong. These engine tub mounted directional lamps are far too common here to be an aftermarket addition or upgrade. I don't know for certain either way...

Ok, so if I understand correctly, that was a modification. No 40 series comes from the factory with sidelamps mounted on the engine tub. What about those double shocks visible in the picture? What is the main purpose of double shocks? One for low-speed and the other for high-speed compression?

What does the directional light lamp mounted flush against the engine bay, rather than on top of the fender, tell me about the model, trim and spec of a 40 series?

11.5k is still a little too dear for a 70s petrol model...

Mine does, but it's not a Toyota.
