    Very RARE! Toyota Hiace 4x4 (LHD!) Overland campervan

    Yes this van is sold already for a long time. I am only seeing this now, half a year later :eek: You might be right at some point. But, that would mean somebody else did not have a van to do some travelling in. Because there are not too many vans in this segment. And I always got tired driving...

    1993 HiAce Firetruck Build Thread

    Well as said, reliability shouldn't be hit to hard with a turbo when you don't change the fuel pump. However, just always install one of those exhaust gas temperature sensors. They are cheap and come with beepers on thresholds. That way you will be ahead of any problems instead of experiencing...

    1993 HiAce Firetruck Build Thread

    Well it is for sale, so for pics check: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/very-rare-toyota-hiace-4x4-lhd-overland-campervan.234721/ These engines are very reliable without turbo, with turbo quite a bit less. My plan was to turbo it but not change the diesel pump. So you don't get the...

    1993 HiAce Firetruck Build Thread

    Nice truck. You write about a 2.5L engine but I think you mean a 2.4 liter which is the 2L engine? With turbo or without? I have a 4x4 Hiace unibody, but with the same drivetrain. I also have 5.125 final gear ratio as well as LSD. Please check if you have an LSD as well, so you don't put in the...

    Very RARE! Toyota Hiace 4x4 (LHD!) Overland campervan

    Hi all. Our beloved van that took us overland from the Netherlands, through Asia to Japan will be going on sale. It will go on sale on the usual local (European) car websites in the next weeks. But I already put it online here, since it is also interesting to US and Canadian buyers (the car is...

    Any Hiace 4x4 Van owners out there?

    What do these vans go for in North America? We are thinking of selling our van around the end of summer, maybe September. We used it to drive from Amsterdam to Tokyo, and it was great! But it is not used so much anymore. Ours is the 2.4 diesel with 4x4 and low-gearing, modified with bigger...

    Renting 4x4s in countries around the Alps?

    @Arjan You are right in that there aren't many options that cover offroading. There is Taro to rent from private people, but that seems to be more a US thing, not much to find in Europe I guess. Trains can be expensive, especially if we go with the whole family. But I don't know if you have...

    Renting 4x4s in countries around the Alps?

    Hi all, I am thinking of selling most of our cars/4x4 vans, probably buy some more modest campervan. And then, when I want to go offroading (my family is not that into it), rent a 4x4 for a week or something. What are good websites to rent these kind of cars? There must be some initiatives...

    Is the FZJ80 worth it in today’s market?

    What kind of parts couldn't you get? Obiously the body and interior parts. But mechanically you might be able to get more than expected, and there is Nipparts or Denso, which is basically the same thing and often also sold by the Toyota dealership. That would not harm reliability or future...
