"Mot" is his screen name on this forum. You can search for him or you will probably find him in one of these post as he is pretty active.

Welcome.

Interesting mirrors on that one...

I'm curious about the extra mirror on the passenger side. Is it to eliminate the blind spot?

The mirror backings look like they either have reflectors or signal lamps in them.

I agree Dan. They get all the fun bling.

Nice truck!

I'm guessing you're Japanese and so am I.

Are you talking about the "sliders" when you say "side protection"? Or do you mean the protection of your front wheelwells/fenders with ARB bumper?

Anyway, I'm not sure if I can do any more than you could since your English seems very good already.

I have the same bullbar on mine that your rig does, but mine doesn't hurt looking at it like yours does (SHINY!).

Like your IPF930's as well!

Anyway, please let me know if I can assist you in anyway!

よろしくお願いします!


Grench,

The mirror is so you can see the ground by your left front wheel and beyond for parking/driving through narrow streets of Japan.

Also the LED mirror is actually a cover with built-in LED's, usually comes unpainted.

You live in Tokyo Mot? You could start a TLCA chapter.

Not sure what you mean about shipping.
Shipping from Japan to where?

Shipping a HDJ81 to Vancouver Canada from Japan is around $1100 Canadian (if that helps at all).

Cheers,
Nick

I'd guess that he means shipping from wherever the item is TO Japan.

 

[Romer]

I would think he could find something there or from Australia. That would be cheaper.

For some reason, most of the "side protection" I've seen in japan are mostly just cool looking side steps (kakkodake) and not true sliders like here.

I can see where a mirror like that would be handy offroad too. The LED mirror cover... They're turn signals then? Very cool.

Someday when I'm done installing all of the parts I've already got I'm going to have to start getting into those cool JDM parts.

In the US we pay a lot more for these trucks, but by the Japanese market ours are bare bones base apparently. I'm very jealous of anyone there with rear air. Lets not even get into diesel...

Very nice trucks guys!

I'm about 250 or so kms away from Tokyo. I guess it's relatively close though. How do I go about starting a chapter?

Well im having my lunch here at work place

GET BACK TO WORK!!

Slee (Christo) is a member here under "sleeoffroad" (Maybe), so you can either PM him (click on his avatar/picture) and select "Send private message" or "Send e-mail" or something like that. He should be able to tell you heavy they are.

I could be wrong, but shipping something big (and heavy) as sliders might be cost prohibitive. I imagine you would be saving some money by importing one directly from the manufacturer/source. But maybe you can find something similar already imported or even custom made for the same cost, but with less trouble.

I know "Japan4X4" (featured in the back of Nov. issue of the Land Cruiser Magazine, I was told) started offering some foreign products and if I recall correctly, he had sliders as well. (Not sure how beefy they were/are though).

Good luck!


Grench,

Mine doesn't have the dual a/c, either.
Only the gasoline/F(Z)J80's with three rows of seats came with it.

That is an awesome looking Land Cruiser. Damn, You guys get all the good technology! How many miles did that have on it when you bought it?

OK, so you're there... Find one of these that has been rolled, harvest all of the rear AC related parts & other JDM toys, then put them on Ebay and let the people here know about it. From what I can tell the people here are starved for the stuff you see every day.

I'm soooo jealous.
