Excellent condition except for the tub, which needs sill repair at a minimum. Frame perfect, OME springs, grease-able shackles. Brakes are 1 year old. 4-wheel disc, rear full floater, all Toyota parts. Front axle completely rebuilt with housing replaced, new bearings and seals, and powder coated last year.

2H runs perfectly but has a minor persistent oil leak from the back somewhere. Starts every time. Truck originally from Australia, rebuilt in BC Canada in 2004~2006, where it was converted to LHD using a donor truck firewall and cowl. Brought out to the East Coast in 2007. Last three winters it has been parked. Currently licensed, insured, and just passed MA state inspection with flying colors. Clean MA title.

4 speed H41 low geared transmission with PTO output. Transfer case rebuilt 2 years ago. Parking brake mounted on transfer.

PTO winch came off a Japanese market HJ81, and has probably been used just once or twice in its life.

OEM fog lamps. Euro spec. mirrors. Doors are new in the last year as is the hood. Bib and fenders new in 2006. Battery is a year old. Drives straight down the road.

Tires are Toyo M55, with 80~90% tread. Spare tire is also M-55.

More than $50,000 in receipts. Needs money spent on the tub - have been considering getting a Tesevan tub but wife has put her foot down in terms of spending any more money on the truck. After a lot of thought, it's now for sale. Rusty tub means I have to take a loss here.

June price drop: $10,000.00 will now buy this truck.

I remember you building this, You are crazy to sell at 12k, Tell the wife with a tub swap it would bring 25k! I actually have a solid 45 tub but its rhd! You will regret this at the end of the day. Glws
 
Any pictures of the worst of the rust? Would you hesitate to fly out from California and drive it back to CA?

If you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll send you a large file with many detailed pics.

I have found the truck to be extremely reliable over the years, and I drove it from BC to MA loaded with close to a ton and it never skipped a beat. That said, who can guarantee such things with vehicles? Would suggest to anyone contemplating such a voyage to have AAA coverage just in case.

If you were to park it overnight in the middle of the country where the temps dip well below freezing at night, you would want to take the battery out.
