Wouldn't it be great if one could order a 100 and be able to check a list of boxes on the order form for the engine you want (I-6, V8, diesel, or TD), suspension options (live front axle or IFS, rear leafs or coils), locker options (f/r/center, rear/center, center only), A/C options (none, front only, front/rear), upholstry (leather, cloth), rear door (van or hatchback), wheels (split steel, 16"/17"/18" alloy), tranny (5spd manual, 5 spd auto, 4 spd auto), battery options (single, dual), alternator (standard, heavy duty), air filter (precleaner, cyclonic w/ precleaner, standard rectangular), etc. What a concept! Toyota, are you reading this?

Toyota sells about 550 new 'Cruisers every month here in USA alone, with profits of maybe $10,000 per vehicle. Do you think it's good enough reason for Toyota USA to listen to us with needs like you mention?
