No they do not drive RHD vehicles.
My understanding is that they sell a lot of parts into Africa from Sharjah. And whole vehicles. With only very narrow exceptions it is not possible to register a RHD vehicle in the UAE. I do want to add that a lot of these are old mine vehicles from Australia and, with exceptions, disassembly for parts may be the best use of them...
Please PM me. I don't really feel comfortable 'publishing' for a lot of reasons, including not disappointing people! For example, the last time I bought new tires and rims I paid a lot less than this time for Jan's truck. That and these guys move around so if someone comes on this thread a year from now the information may no longer have any use.

For my purposes the prices were still worthwhile but that is a notable increase considering these are take-off parts…
@janyyc are you still in DXB?
I’m here as well on a hunting trip.
Here till Thursday if you want to meet up.
EDIT: doh… never mind. Your trip has come and gone.
Too bad! Would have been a pleasure to meet you.
…but how many do you need?
The lot that features most prominently above is generally LHD take-off parts. There’s an armoured car maker somewhere in the UAE and these are bodies and other parts they don’t need. Many of the other lots are predominantly RHD Australian write-offs. It’s amazing they go through so much inventory, obviously there’s a market in Africa. Sharjah is a bit of a “free trade zone” and that’s probably why all these lots are located there.
Exactly. These are not lots that will ship abroad. And we don’t want to give the lots the idea there’s some huge foreign demand. If you’re there in Dubai and want to visit and you’re an established IH8MUD member @John Young can share location at his discretion. There isn’t an address (just coordinates) and phone contact is iffy.
…but how many do you need?
2, maybe 3
It’d be hard to spend a day here and not leave with at least a container load of parts 
Thank Ben, I will get in touch if my 5th order from AMAYAMA get cancelled again as you know I wanted new wirings will see this week if this one go through! lol
It won’t.
I suspect the same but I had 3 other option for wire floors so I tried
Not much 75 series or narrow nose early 78/9 series stuff available at the moment but plenty of the later wide nose 79 series stuff to be had.
Contact made so thanks for the info Mr Young
Hi how can I contact you I need to come there I need series 70 body
this is awesome.....so many things i need
Hi, am very interested with those body parts of land cruiser lx out there, @ janyyc can you pls give me name of this scrap yard that i can have a visit there?I was going to post this in my build thread, but I have so many pictures, and I think you'd like to see them.
At the recommendation of @John Young I visited some Sharjah scrap yards he had scouted out. They are truly amazing. Most 70-series parts seem to come from Australia, with some cars being complete... others taken apart... There's one specialist in new take-off 79 parts (beds, wheels, etc.). It's mind-boggling. Bucket list item for our likes for sure!
