    Question for Canadians: Why import from Japan over Germany?

    Thanks, the good thing is I have about a year to do it... The bad thing is all the cherry Cruisers I have to watch slip through my fingers while the bank account comes up to steam. Haha, I don't think Jesus can save me at this point. (Hopefully taken in good fun as I'm not meaning to doubt...

    Question for Canadians: Why import from Japan over Germany?

    Perhaps, 12 of my favourite bevvies at hand whilst driving isn't a good idea. Haha. Plus I plan on getting a fridge fairly soon after my cruiser if I don't go JDM. I'm actually moving to your neck of the woods in a month to take a Millwright course at Kwantlen Polytechnic. Is there any...

    Question for Canadians: Why import from Japan over Germany?

    Very true. Life left in the engine and rust are going to be major factors for me when choosing a vehicle. I find once a car starts rusting it'll never stop no matter how much effort and money you throw at it. Also, I'd rather not have to rebuild the engine down the line... As I like to think...

    Question for Canadians: Why import from Japan over Germany?

    The Euro's still pretty strong against the dollar. Overall it will be more expensive to get a European one here than buy a landed JDM but I think the LHD is worth it... I guess it depends on how much over the cost it ends up running. I'm not too worried about the importing issues. I used to...

    Question for Canadians: Why import from Japan over Germany?

    I'm still a ways away from buying my first Cruiser so I'm still in the research stage... I want a HJ80 so I was thinking of one from Japan, but the RHD doesn't sit overly well with me. (I don't like the idea of having to go fully into the oncoming lane on a rural highway so I can see if...

    Ground mats, Cots, and Hammocks, oh my!

    Although I've never used one myself I suggest this, as it's the one I plan on picking up in the next few months. I've talked to someone who has one and I've read plenty of good reviews, there's even videos on youtube about it. Seems like pretty sweet deals to me. If you're from the states I...

    Any major concerns with JDM trucks?

    Do you know the link? I've tried a variety of search terms but haven't found what I'm look for. I appreciate knowing it's out there and I'll keep looking, this is the beauty part of bring a laptop to class :) EDIT: are you talking about this thread? Buying a HDJ81 by CruiserHDJ81?

    Any major concerns with JDM trucks?

    Not in Calgary currently-in southwestern ontario, yawn-but I'm planning on moving out in early May. I'm thinking by the end of the summer I should be able to scrap together about $10k. I'm glad to hear you think the craze has died down, I've only been into this for about 6 months or so, so my...

    Any major concerns with JDM trucks?

    ]**I searched for a thread similar to this, if I've missed it and you know it please post up a link. I found one that was close in the FAQ but but it missed the mark and was from '04 I've pretty much decided I'm going pick up a JDM HDJ80 in the fall when my bank account has gone into the...

    Bumper Fab Questions

    This has likely been covered before, but my search didn't uncover the thread. I obviously want some bumpers on my truck-to-be but costing $3000 for a full set isn't really an option. So I had two questions: 1) How difficult, say on a _/10 scale, to do something like this? On top of...
