Had this reminder just last weekend, why not carry a spare at all times. Long trips I carry a spare/or spare tubes. Well a short ride 30 km's up a gravel road close to home I don't need that. [emoji849] One tiny carpet tack was enough to put a long cut in the tube that my repair kit isn't...

Where do you live? Don't know about the USA but in Canada it is possible to import a vehicle that is too new for import, 15 years in Canada, if you prove and provide information of a destroyed VIN. Parts only, some import house in Japan exist only for parts importing. Shipping was a bit more...

After looking at shipping costs, Japan to Vancouver, ouch, they've skyrocketed!! This is a good deal! In a few years, for us, would make an ideal retirement full time base camp adventure vehicle! Good luck with the sale

Thanks for answering, do not see many 4x4 vans such as yours! Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

Nice rig! By chance were you on Vancouver Island summer 2020? I was on the ridge overlooking Comox lake, yes snooping with the binoculars, watching a 4x4 van just like yours parked on a rock with someone taking photos. Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

New favorite build thread! Why in a short story: I bought a new Toyota van in 1984 when I graduated from high school and through 6 years of post secondary, I camped a lot during my summers. After school 2. For all those years and after I very often meet a newly retired couple in their factory...

Tire and rim size?

Well 78's are darn rare and that's crazy low mileage. I'd be tempted. My guy at our local Capit shop in town, Vancouver Island, works hard to bringing anything, and they are a Alucab retailer. Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

The white 2004 sold for $17,000 Canadian with 157,000 km's and the 1HD-T. I'm planning the same, why put on the top before importing? Are you currently in Germany? Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

Wow, I last imported a vehicle by container, Japan to west coast Canada in 2014, the current rates are 7 to 8 times currently. Ro ro has increased these last few months by about 20-25% alone. Could you share the results if you do import? I have imported from different countries in the past, so...

Nice van with diesel power; super fair price in the day of crazy over priced recreational vehicles, aka $40,000+ 12 year old 4 Runners with RTT and cheap lifts. Plus I bid regularly at the Japanese auctions, prices are declining the tiniest bit, but the diesel motorhomes I've bid on this...

My 98 ZJ, my trail vehicle about 10 years ago, was like that. Engine never had the slightest problem, but every spring a couple electric items would stopped working after sitting through the northern winter. It was a game of wack a mole that I gave up with after a time. Before that had a zero...

For almost a year search the Japanese auctions for a 80 LC, but beside finding my desired spec being impossible, all came with slushboxes. I was searching for a 1HD with a manual. Bought a 01 Hilux Surf, that has been used hard for 2 years and cost me nothing outside of upgrades and service. The...

That right there is a big annoying reason why I miss cross border shopping with our southern neighbours these past 2 years - less mess with those bags. Gave away my Areo press this past weekend to a camping buddy

It's just a word, moving on. Going camping tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll look at the newest gizmo that I won't buy, maybe text it to a buddy with slight chance of getting to help him bolt it on his truck.

Cool Video, beautiful truck. Makes me miss my HJ61 even more, thanks (y)

Built a prototype raised bed, built light and as low as possible, with plans to build a more solid system, with slides and covered with the light carpet like material. Decided to keep the template, it's light, easy to move and store, I definitely like the mileage with the light 4Runner. Our...

My adventure vehicle, no matter how well-loved, isn't a long term I'll be buried in the vehicle. Backcountry is my primary recreation, put on more miles on my 4x4 than my daily driver car or other toys. I drive on beaches and close the salt air constantly, long distances on Canada's salted...
