Wow - She sure is a beauty! Good luck at the drive-thru! Don't spill those Micky D's shakes on her! :D
 
Is that interior and graphics original?

Interior and paint are all original. I think the truck must have been in a heated garage in Japan for the last 20 years. There are some small marks around the graphics that lead me to believe the graphics were replaced at some point.
 
Very nice... was wondering if that model came with the one piece stock front bumper? The one that has the corners as one piece. I think stock bumpers make it look so clean. Hope to see more pictures.
 
What'd a vehicle like that cost? It's awesome but so will my FJ60 Cummins 4BT as well. I know it's Toyota but diesel would worry me breaking down who knows where and not being able to get parts. Keep it maintained, she's a beauty.

These bumpers are aftermarket, but they’re somewhat similar to stock.

Thanks for sharing. Probably one of the cooler vehicles I’ve seen.

Just over $20k to get it in hand, but I’ve also put about $3k into knuckle rebuilds, tie rods, electrical work, stereo, interior cosmetic parts, etc. I’ve put about 4000 km’s on it now, including several trips up the mountains where it was parked for over 8 hours in 5 degree Fahrenheit temps, and it’s started up like new and never had a mechanical issue. I’m becoming very confident in its reliability! I plan on having this truck forever!
 
Probably a long shot, but I'm looking for a matching wheel I can use for a spare. Does anyone have any idea what kind of wheel this is? They're 15 inch wheels, but there aren't any brand markings and I can't find it anywhere online, even when doing a reverse image search. Thanks for any help!

check out the Yahoo Auctions Japan listings. there are tons of 6 lug 15's listed, i know ive seen these wheels come up more than once in my searches. If you come up with something there are a bunch of importers who can bid on them and get the wheels too you fairly easily. Personally I recommend Streeter Corporation Jesse is super easy to deal with, and his prices are very reasonable.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've spent hours searching and I haven't even found another picture of these wheels yet!
 
I've got a nerd lighting engineer question. Do the rear turn signals light up amber? I've never seen a Japanese vehicle without amber turn signal lenses.

Awesome rig BTW.

Thanks! The rear turn signals light up clear/white.
 
Have you pulled a wheel off the vehicle to see if there are any markings cast in the surface that mounts against the rotors/drums?
 
Really nice!
 
24 volt? Make sure there are no 12volt appliance running off a single battery. I would check for rust behind those flares. Nice 61, same seats as my old one.
Does it have the fridge, rear aircon and jump seats?
