Posting up to see if there’s any interest. I’ve had this a little over 3 years. I’ve put around 1500 miles on it. It has 334 kilometers on the ODO (223k US). It’s the 12HT with a 5-speed. The PTO was removed by the previous owner in Japan. It’s had one repaint and has some rust coming through in areas. None of it has advanced since being in central TX the last 3 years. I put an OME lift on it as well as 5 new tires. I have 6ish 12HT’s in other vehicles here at my place and this by far runs better than any of them. Even my personal truck that has a new old stock 12HT with 23k on the ODO. Everything is set to factory specs and this is an unmolested truck. Let me know what questions you have and glad to send additional videos or pics. $23,500. Thanks. Jimmy

Agreed with @samc2447 , this is a very nice 61. I have driven it as well and it is a great truck with typical body flaws of a 30 plus year old vehicle. Mechanically it is excellent. I actually rode in it with @dogfishlake piloting this awesome and fairly rare rig.
Good luck with the sale my friend.
 
I tried to talk Jessica into us driving it home instead of flying back! I can't believe the power compared to Chunk. It has way more. Definitely healthy. Thanks for letting me drive it. Sweet truck. GLWS!
 
Thanks guys. Was great having you guys down for the weekend. BTW…you do need another 12HT in your stable :).
EVERYBODY needs another 12HT in the stable :cool:
 
Why on earth are you selling this Jimmy?
 
I remember this truck! If only I had the cash… This looks just about perfect. GLWS Jimmy!

Ha Mike...because I'm a sucker for projects and apparently can't stand having a good running truck lying around :). not including my blue 60

Not nearly enough to make a good offer without selling my Tacoma, unfortunately.

All is well. Super busy between work, school and kids right now. I do need to make it out there again soon. Your property is just too much fun.

This is a beautiful truck! What’s the undercarriage look like? Got any photos? Any other outstanding issues to note?

The underside is in great shape. These are the only pics on my phone which was when it was shipped to my house 3 years ago fresh off the boat from Japan. I did swap the Jenky JDM suspension to OME. I can get some undercarriage pics and post them tomorrow. The frame and underside is definitely in great shape. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. Than you. Jimmy.

Was good and rainy but let up enough for me to get some shots. Let me know if you need any other ones. Thanks. Jimmy

You asked about other know issues. The over head console works (outside temp/altimeter but it’s very dim. Never looked into it though. And the clutch is most likely original and may need replacing in the near future. I drove it hard the other day and it performed well. I live in a fairly hilly area. The sunroof works great but I’m assuming it’s out of adjustment on the stop. If you don’t let go of the button after closing it will click. As of yesterday I’m much more motivated to sell it as I’m a sucker for projects. Picked this one up in Dallas (blown motor) which was here on the MUD classifieds. I’ve never been a flipper but rather a collector. Decided a while ago it’s time to start reducing the wagon footprints at my place.

Some interior shots. Was asked for these and then realized I should have included some in the original post. I’ll apologize up front. Have not cleaned the interior in a few years.

Those split rear seats with the headrests are way cool!

They are great Mike. Actually seen a few guys retro-fit them into a 60 series trucks that came with the bench seat. Not sure exactly how it’s done but does require a few modifications.
