I've decided this is really more truck than I need and it's definitely more than my wife wants to drive. I imported this truck from Japan and spent many hours looking for one of this quality. A genuine 129, 684 Kms on this truck (I've put about 1400 Kms on it), as is obvious from the lack of wear on the all the places that don't lie: steering wheel, shift lever knob, door handles etc. Truck has passed the BC provincial inspection and is registered and insured in my name. Needless to say, I think, there are no liens or liabilities against the truck. It has never been in any accidents and the original paint is in excellent condition. A nice bull bar by East Coast Bullbars in OZ and a nice roofrack out of Japan, I assume. I'm including an aircraft cargo net that will hold your gear onto the roof rack nicely. The engine and drivetrain are flawless IMO, although the aftermarket steering damper springs are getting a bit rusty I see. The truck has about 4" of lift, which gives nice visibility, but isn't really necessary. The 1HZ engine I can't praise enough; the truck idles along at 80Kmh and 1400rpm. Engine never gets above 2000 rpm unless you want to break 100Kmh. I run Chevron Dello 15-40 and a Toyota 2 stage filter. I got just over 600Kms from a tank of fuel.
The wheels are showing some oxidization - soda blasting is the best fix for this, but I haven't found a 12pt socket to take all the SS decorative bolts out first... Yokoham Geolanders with 80%+ tread left. Batteries look to have been new not long before I got the truck. One door ding on the driver's door from some jerk who I didn't catch unfortunately...
I'm really of two minds about selling this truck because I doubt I'll find another smaller cruiser with genuine low mileage before this importing window gets closed. Time will tell I guess.
I'd love to help you get this into the USA, but no, I can't drive it across the border for you. If you are a US citizen, and particularly if you are a WA resident, you can probably do so yourself, several have already. Registration and insurance depends on what state you live in. Otherwise, make friends with somebody from Rhode Island is my advice!
