Yes I found both trucks on OLX. I used an interpreter (my Uber driver) who was extremely helpful finding trucks and actually negotiating price. He also runs a car rental place so he took both my vehicles and had them registered in Bahrain in my name. So helpful! Of course I had to pay him...
Will do. I believe one of the rigs has the original owner's manual. I as well was interested in this button. I know I hit it a few times driving my rig around Bahrain but couldnt tell it did anything. Your shipping agent will want a letter from Toyota about the rig youre buying verifying...
I just imported two 1996 FZJ80's from Bahrain in July, 2021. They just arrived to Freeport, TX this week. The shipping delays are real. I'm picking my rigs up this week. One is triple locked the other has the 4H button.
Undercarriage expected dirt/grime, no gloss black paint. Engine bay dusty but good, Saudi Rig. Runs smooth. Needs some love and likely front knuckle rebuild, but drives great. I've done HG on mine, all hoses, radiator, water pump, dual battery install, fuel injector rebuild so I'm familiar...
Evening Gents I'm currently deployed with the Navy in Bahrain. Looking at a 96 VXR 80 series in excellent condition. 225K. Rear AC, Cool Box, Dual Extended Range fuel tanks, no obvious leaks, no rust. Pics included. I'm about to pull the trigger. will look good next to my 94 :)
I'm running one I got from a junkyard now but its acting up. when I removed it to install the crap one from China the door moved easily. I assume the door should have free movement without resistance.
Against my better sense I decided to gamble on a "reman" AFM from China. I should have just put the 200 bucks into play at the Craps table! At least I could have been entertained. After waiting a month for delivery i received said AFM and it looked ok but the air flow door had poor mobility...
Intermittent rough idle/near stall. Code 31. Running a used junkyard acquired AFM as I jacked my original pulling the screws/cleaning. Any sources here? Is the Cardone one sold any good? Thanks Gents!
One of my first moves was to gut the interior, carpet was trashed and seats torn in front. My guess is closer to 300 than 100 unfortunately. The Carfax has two entries with 305-306 so I suspect it is accurate.
As far as girlfriends with 10 priors, I would say I like my ladies to have some...
Thanks gents. Appreciate the opinions. I love the truck, very reliable/drives well/shifts well/slow oil leaks.
Keeping her seems the best move. I enjoy the wrenching and garage time. Kind of like marriage, better the devil you know than the one you dont. Cheers!
Opinion needed Gentleman. Proud owner 94 Triple Locked FZJ80. Had the vehicle one year and have done some significant work and additions. I bought the vehicle with 102K on the clock. My dumbass finally got around to getting the Carfax which states the vehicle had 306K in 2015. Vehicle runs...
