Unfortunately there is very low number of RoRo vessels leaving Kuwait so the Import will be done with a 20 foot container and the cost of container to the West Coast, Long Beach is about $2,800 not including customs fees here in the country. Price of Container to East Coast will be even lower.

That's a shame. I just saw this one of you previous post about it coming into Freeport, Tx. That's not far from me and I would have liked to look at it.

Thanks. It doesn't HAVE to be a '78 but I just don't like the square bezel and obviously want it with factory disc brakes. So, '76, '77, 78 with '78 being first choice. (I'm also obviously interested in brakes on my truck...)

I don't think these years got disc brakes.
I know my '78 didn't come with them.

Edmond, it is very interesting to see a cruiser from thee Middle East with the heater and defroster vents.

On the FJ40s, disc brakes started in 9/75. I can't believe they wouldn't have done the 45s at the same time.

Yes kevin, You are right the pickup does not have Disk brakes. But it does have the heater, little odd for middle eastern Vehicle. I wished it had Air Con..

I cant think of why they didnt install Disk brakes on the FJ45s which is a heavier car if they had them on the FJ40 starting 1975.

Until we figure that weird one out, when you look for one for me, just make sure it has discs up front. I could make the swap but would rather keep that one off the list of to-dos.

It's not about the year or their weight; it was about the country that it was sent to by Toyota, the reason behind it was that for these countries it was easier to work on drum brakes in the most rural places.
The same applies to Saudi and South America specs trucks.

Interesting. I've spoken with an old automotive genius and his explanation is this: (although not a "Toyota" expert...)

Disc brakes are far easier to work on, especially for the novice. The only reason I could figure for leaving drums on those trucks is Toyota wanted to use up all the leftover drum setups once disc brakes were started up. They're less effective and less safe but that's more important in populous and more modern countries.

That sounds more like it to me...
