Thanks Wayne, all of you guys have a couch to crash on in Auckland, and a free ride in the my new V8 LC (dreaming)....if I don't go broke getting down there!
So, did you sell it yet? What's the status? Taking it with you? Thanks. Good luck either way. Would love to buy it to replace the body on my Canadian BJ70, but just not worth the cost
She's still for sale, just advertised it this morning in the Victoria and Vancouver Used websites: usedvictoria.com, usedvancouver.com
I hadn't really been pressing because I needed it during school, but I graduated this past week so I'm ready to part with her.
She's going to be in Qualicum Beach now until she sells. If she doesn't go before I leave for NZ (Aug1), my brother in law is going to do the footwork selling her.
12K is my initial price, but I'm willing to entertain offers! You won;t find another one like this anytime soon!
Sorry, no idea where to get Toyota factory soft-tops. Maybe ask Wayne (Crushers). Mine is not a retro-fit soft-top, the roll bar, doors and struts across the top are all built specifically for a soft-top, I would think converting a fibreglass top would involve some fabrication.
It's on Vancouver Island, so super-cold temperatures don't exist. Having said that, we get snow, and it handles great. It has a strong heater that gets the inside warm quickly once you start driving.
For really cold climates, you'd want to install an oil heater.

Congrats on the sale. The one importer I tracked down said I couldn't import your truck into the U.S. If you or anyone else with a JDM 70 series learned of a way to import this type of rig, I would appreciate any info on the subject. The threads I've read here haven't addressed rigs like yours.
Good luck with your move.
Peter
