Official Mud Welcome -

Nice truck. Most folks would love details on the mods you've made, lift, tyres, bumper, etc.

Most vendors are US based as the website is run out of Wisconsin.

You have several folks from Austraila on the board tho to keep you company in your time zone! hehehe

What brand of bumper do you have on your 80?

Welcome to our world! Nice rig....did folks stare at you while you shot photos of your 'Cruiser in the lot??

Interesting that the '96 RHD has the early dash pattern. Never noticed that before.

New Zealand, wow there's alot of land down there to go 4 wheeling on. One of the places I need to visit at least 15 times or so. Welcome to the forum man.

Very nice vehicle. I'm a bit surprised to see no airbag. IIRC OZ spec 96 would have an airbag. Is the NZ spec different?

per http://www.ih8mud.com/ads.php there is a good mix of vendors from the US and Canada....which is where the majority of our addicts are from....

I'm a fan of that front bumper too.....sharp rig!!

I'm probably wrong, but my guess would be that the vehicle came from Japan, including the bumper and the corner pole thingy (or is it an antenna? ). BTW, not all of the late 80's in Japan (at least) came with airbags, IIRC.

Welcome!

by the sheer number of mods it looks jdm to me.

Good to see another Kiwi here

Most 80's in NZ are JDM imports (including mine and by the looks of it this one) NZ new spec is close to Oz spec.

Being a 96 that would make it 1HD-FT powered right.
