So just an update, haven't been on the forum for a while....took a new job and haven't been back to work on the truck. However, I will be going back home the first weekend of June to try and wrap it up.My old phone took a swim, so all of the build pictures are gone. Not too handy... As of now...

Hi all, I have jumped off the point of no return with my project. A little background on this pickup. The Hilux was purchased by my uncle in 1985 as his first and only brand new automobile. This little pickup was the learning platform for my three cousins and their endeavors to drive a manual...

If anyone needs this manual in the future, shoot me a message and I'll email it to you. It is too large to post on the forum.

@gts, I think I am going with the OEM version. I will try and contact J cruisers in BC and talk with them about the updated head. Cheers

Hi all, I am looking to replace my 2LT (1st gen roller/rocker) head. There seems to be many different suppliers of heads to be purchased. My question is: are there superior/inferior brands? I have read that brands coming from China or India? may be inferior as far as build and materials used. I...
