Nice looking Cruiser.....
Good luck with the sell.

 

[AlpenCruiser]

Thanks for the positive vibes!

Some lucky chap will be driving this one home soon I'm sure. It's too clean to sit around long!

 

[Fast Eddy]

Good looking rig.

Full Floating rear axle

Sure about this? Looks like not.

 

[AlpenCruiser]

Fast Eddy...

Looks like you are correct! Silly me for assuming that just because the last five I have had were full floaters that Toyota would have made them all that way?? I stand corrected...this truck is a semi float unit. Thanks for noticing.

Thanks to everyone who has pm'd me with questions about this rig. It is loaded on the trailer and headed for Colorado now. I'll be driving it on Monday and will get back to everyone with details to the specific questions that have been asked.

Thanks again for all the interest and looking forward to finding a good home for this great rig! Have an awesome weekend.

So the truck arrived late Tuesday and have been changing fluids and inspecting everything. This one is super clean, no rust issues in the normal areas at all and drives very smooth!

I have emailed everyone who asked for additional pics and just wanted to post up a few here for the masses. Let me know if you have additional questions or want to see any specific detail photos. Thanks

 

[AlpenCruiser]

Just to let folks know who I have been in communication with that this rig has sold. It is en-route to a new home as we speak, a very nice fellow 'Mud member who will be taking excellent care of this sweet ride!

Thanks to all for the interest and positive comments.

If anyone is interested in a rig like this, just let me know as I will have access to more in the future, or can keep an eye out for a specific rig of your choosing? Cheers

Merry Christmas to me, its sitting in my driveway here in Tejas.. Flew to Durango yesterday morninng and made a bullet dash to Houston via DFW last night/today and averaged 22 mpg coming home. With no A/C.

What better way to return to the Cruiser brotherhood than with a JDM diesel 60 Series. Thanks to Jeff Jones and Gary Coberly Waggoner for their assistance with this truck.

Ben at AlpenCruiser is a first class dude. He is trying hard to bring JDM trucks in and I think he would be a good agent for anyone looking to buy one. I am sure anyone can do it if they put in the effort, but Ben knows the process, has eyes on the ground in Japan looking for trucks, and that's half the battle in finding one. He was very helpful with all the pics I asked for and did a great job describing the truck's condition (based on having only had it 2-3 days.) He picked me up at the airport, crawled all over the truck with me and I got to meet his family. Good people.

This truck will need some work to suite me, but that's how it goes when you buy one right off the boat almost sight-unseen. The engine seems very strong, there isn't a spec of rust anywhere on the body or chassis and aside from being generally dirty and needing some cosmetic love, it should do fine. Can't wait for my prck of a neighbor who hates my toy fetish to wake up and see it in the driveway.
