Just bought a LC70 2012

[Ristretto]

Hello Guys,

I decided to pickup a LC70 pickup rather than the 3 door SWB.



I get it by Thursday, I cant register my car until I pay my speeding ticket.

It's similar to the above sans LED on the bumper.

Wish I had the option of buying that. Nice Truck!! Jealous here....

You guys are so lucky...

Most Americans cant appreciate this vehicle. They like the big lifted douche Tundra's (that will likely never see dirt). Come on Toyota!!!

Super cool truck

 

[Ristretto]

Thanks guys I've always wanted this car for years.

It's my first Japanese car, my other 2 cars are a G-Class Mercedes and a SLK.

Did you get the 4.0 petrol or the 4.2 diesel?

I have been fighting with the Oman/UAE toyota to order a batch of TLC 79's with the 4.5 diesel (turbo) but they keep saying its not possible in the LHD.

I am going to install ARB bumper in black with IPF fogs, Winch and I was told I had to replace certain suspension items for it to manage the added weight is that true ?

I dont want to throw alot of money. Hoping to get 285/75/16's BFG all terrain. Can I replace all Shock absorbers with OME and that would be good ?

No lift just ARB bumper, 285/75 tyres and OME nitrogen shocks.

I doubt you'll need to replace any suspension components to hold up the bumper. Coils in front? Perhaps some heavier springs. Take some measurements before and after and compare the ride before making up your mind. How much do the new 3 door SWB cost?

 

[Muscat LC]

The cost of a 2012 SWB is nearly 32,500 USD

 

[Ristretto]

37,096.77 $ USD here for LC79

600 dollars less for SWB 3 door LC71

Its the same engine as the V6 Prado,Hilux and FJCruiser.

This is super cheap price for a brand new LC79.
Aussie price is double.
To what I know, your country is tax free. Is that true??

 

[jimy2]

No in Oman we do pay import tax not sure how much it is I think it's round 5% .

5% import price for items that exceed $10,000.

The price I listed is out of the door price, insurance (not full coverage) and registration. The price of the car is a bit on the high side, 6-7 years back they were around the $25,000-26,000 border.
