I'll take one if you're still bringing them in.

 

[brian]

received my set. thanks.

 

[Akella]

received my set. thanks.

Wow that was quick. How is the packaging holding up?
I bought 250 envelops for a dirt cheap price. They are not great, but ok. I need some feedbacks on envelops if they are holding up ok.

 

[Slim D]

Package arrived the cheap envelope held up nicely!

Thanks!!! I hope you removed your address label and it didnt came off in transit.

Now go and install it.

i never would have never known it was cheap packaging.

no i stand corrected, i did require a knife to open the package....i much prefer the pouches that have the pull tab on them.
i'am kinda laughing at the response that this has generated. surely this amount of hand throttle stock being bought up must be showing up on a radar somewhere.

Add me to the list

I can just picture Toyota's marketing department telling the engineers that the next version of the Land Cruiser absolutely, positively, HAS to have a hand throttle.

Yeah right...

The only reason they weren't available in the US to begin with is strictly liability

Mr. T figured some silly American would use it as a redneck cruise control and flatten a bunch of kids at a bus stop

Immediately followed by a lawsuit of course

Same goes for just about all the cool JDM stuff we don't get over here

LC are becoming mall crawlers, so i doubted it will happen. We all can keep dreaming about it that it will happen one day and with hand throttles they will bring diesels to North America. I wont be surprised if they are getting rid of them even in new 70's.

I had few requests from 100's series room and it appears that Toyota only had one configuration of all deferent 100&105 series all round the world that had hand throttle. It was 105 with 1hz for Siberian region of Russia. So 80 is last LC Wagon that got this option, except 70's workhorses.

surely this amount of hand throttle stock being bought up must be showing up on a radar somewhere.

I am just wondering when woddy or i will get contacted by toyota to shut down the whole group buy. We are already at 150+ people plus i need to add another 10-15. I believe this is the biggest group buy on mud
