I’m taking this off if you’re interested? Also pulling the brush guard off and replacing with an ARB bumper

Thanks for offering. Not a fan of the tube bumper and while I think the roll bar looks great on that truck, I don't think it would look good on mine.

They are hard to find. That particular design only came on Japan trucks with the SSRX trim. I was going to swap the bar from the center truck on to mine. But then I saw this on BaT...

Yes, a roll bar crane. I reached out to the dealer in the hopes of getting in touch with the guy who bought it. No word yet.

Here's another one that sold a few years back.

So, that's my wet dream. I'd use that crane allll the time.

My trucks aren't mall crawlers. They get used and used hard. Thats what a hilux is for.

 

[GreenPump]

Well, good to know it's getting used!

If anyone has a lead on another crane, I'd even trade a double tube hilux bar, and throw in cash on top.

The LN106 I had a couple of years ago. Was a sweet little truck, had about 115k km on it and drove like a dream.

Well, a texting teenager hit my truck while parked in a driveway. Snapped the axle and spun the truck 180 degrees. It was parked facing forward.

Insured with Hagerty. Updates to follow.

Tire and wheel hub were two houses down.

1990 JDM LN106 that I kinda stumbled into.
Looking for recommendations for a lift. Trying to fit 31s.

Looks like it already has a lift

 

[GreenPump]

I run 31x10.5s on all my hiluxes and all are stock suspension.

 

[bkg]

no lift needed for 31's... should be able to fit a 32x11.50 w/o lift, easy, assuming no major differences between the hilux and 3rd gen pickup

All factory it appears. Front springs are actually sagging really bad.

This is really good to know. I would much rather keep it at stock ride height.

Anyone got a source for factory height front springs?

Aren’t torsion bars up front?

Solid front axle. No torsion bars.

I hope you had a guaranteed value policy with Hagarty?

[REDrum]

My Central American based RN106. BTW, what the biggest diameter spare tire that will fit under the bed, anyone put a 33" under there?
