They rocked off my favorite beach so you cant drive down it. Just a small obstical for the cruiser.

I hear 20 year old vehicles can be imported? 2013 is not far away! The question is do I bring it back with me or sell it and buy another back in the states. FYI I could sell it here for 20,000 USD tomorrow which would would build a pretty sweet 80 in the USA. I vote we keep the EPA. come...

the Tough Dogs are serious! the shock bodies and build quality make the OME and Procomps Ive seen look like toys. Im sure they are great for an expedition loaded rig but not for my DD. I've driven a few OME rigs here and agree they are pretty nice but wasnt sure if they were on Mediums, HD...

Yes. that was just labor cost! Fluids themselves are pricy.

The PO installed what I think to be a 3in lift kit with Lovells springs and Tough Dog HD shocks along with caster correction plates, sway bar drop brackets, adj panhards. The rig rides like an empty dump truck and my 'load' is typically some friends and surfboards so im looking to switch to the...

Cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor with all new jets, float needle and seat, gaskets, etc.

I dunno. With the ambulance back I like being able to quickly open the small door for fast access and that the tire carrier is integrated into the large door. With the over under hatch you have that extra step to swing out the spare.

I replaced all four runs and cleaned my switches and saw little improvement. Well the two windows that didnt work started working again but they were still slow and unreliable. Last week I replaced all four motors, door switches and regulators and now the whole set is like new! fast and...

This rig has a single factory soft pipe that comes from the head to the heater. Which makes me wonder if you cant use it on the USA rig as a 'factory' PHH bypass hose? No...those are some crap aftermarket wires. The new wires are the black factory Denso (if they're not fake:doh:) and much...

All the parts come in the red toyota boxes or sealed clear plastic bags with Toyota Genuine Parts stickers and Made In Japan. I've looked over the parts pretty carefully and all the small details point to legit parts. That said this is China so anything is possible!! Actually I'm not sure...

starred up!

Well...I thought the five speed would be great as well...but yes its a hassle to drive around town:crybaby: I'm wishing I had held out for an auto but they are nearly impossible to find here. I've seen a few imported from the middle east but they were not for sale. That said the manual is...

Just want to introduce my new Cruiser as it’s a little different from what you get in the States. I’m living in Shenzhen China (near Hong Kong) and was actually looking for a cheap new small car like a Corolla as a family vehicle when I spotted an old 80 at the end of the lot. I stood there...

i also have the K295 axel set with LSD and after talking to the guys at Redline they suggested to use a GL-4 oil in the transfer case (and transmission if you have a manual) and a GL-5 oil in the front and rear diffs. mobil 1 makes a GL-5 LSD oil and redline 75W90 GL-5 gear oil does not...

Trans - H151F (5 speed) Transfer Case - HF1A (part time 2WD/4WD)
