Unless you really want something unique, a project and can do the work yourself I would leave them alone. Now if you do want that then I would find a good FJ60 body and combine all three trucks. That is exactly what I am doing. FJ80 chassis and axles, v8 motor, Ranger OD box to H42 to split...

Saw the movie.....man it blew! What a horrible sequel, not worth the price of admission. The Patrol however is pretty cool!

I almost watched that last night. Will have to see it now and keep an eye out for the Patrol!

Awesome and welcome to the forum! I am also on Mud and I also downgraded (if you could call it that!) from an 04 Tacoma to an 84 FJ60 with a v8. Good to see more old Cruisers on the forum. ;)

OMG I see a beer on your bumper! And you are a fireman, you should know better! I hope you don't use alcohol and power equipment too!? I am fully kidding and just humoring myself due to a trip report I did recently that was hijacked because we had beers and trucks in the same pictures. :rolleyes:

Just for reference, here is an Airlift bag next to a Firestone. The mounts if I recall right can be bolted on. However, I had mine welded to the frame since I didn't want to be checking bolts all the time. You should have no problem finding people to install them even if you weld them on in...

There seems to be some not so legal trucks coming in through Florida, mostly Land Cruisers. I tried to contact one of these guys selling them for info or assistance and got no reply. My advice is do it legal or don't do it at all.

You will not find it in Mexico, period. I feel your pain on the Airlift, total junk. Mine also failed a bunch on a trip to Panama. I even had a 2nd set of Airlift bags shipped to me in Mexico when mine failed and those failed me too! If you have holes in the air bag you can plug them up with...

Spain is also a good country to search in Europe but from what I have seen the 2.8TD and 3L diesels dominate those countries. Dutch Patrols? Nearly 400 listings...

It is not just for getting better MPG. In fact most people who do it, it is just an added bonus. The real reason to do it is to reduce EGTs. Water injection does this even better.

FF rear axles in Patrols are very rare. Australia never got them for example. In some markets I am sure they are more common. I strongly suggest you educate yourself on the vehicle you want before taking the plunge and importing from overseas. There are plenty of books available online for the...

Cool! I like the website...hope there ends up being no cap on participants. The more the merrier IMHO.

LHD from Japan makes me say ummmmm, what!? FYI, I have personally viewed a 2002 TD42 Patrol Ute in Panama for sale that was mint. Price tag as $20,000. Many more TD42 in Panama at very good prices. Pretty common to find a 10ish year old Patrol down there with a TD42 in the $15-20k range, with...

That presented zero problems for me. I drove off the ferry and drove away from the port. When I left Mexico and entered Belize there was no questions or anything. Same when I returned and entered Mexico and then left Mexico to enter the USA. Perhaps this is because when I entered Baja I got my 6...

When I took the Baja ferry in early 2010 it was around $150 (IIRC) for a 1st Gen Tacoma. That was from La Paz to Topolobampo, Mexico.

I am going to be looking for a co-pilot but am waiting until the details of the event are posted before I look. I will also be focusing on one of two builds for the event, either my FJ60 Cruiser or a early 90s Subaru! :) I am in Wyoming so I guess my "team" would be more of a Rocky Mountain...

Same in my 1st Gen. Custom 19gal tank behind the rear axle plus the stock tank. Gave me about 39gals of onboard fuel. With a super charger I could still get over 500 miles between fill ups if I drained it way low. I had mine set up as an aux tank and simply transferred tot he stock tank. It...

Yah I think that is what he has. It is shoehorned in there and barely fits but is a really nice motor for the truck.

I hear that. I have a very very simple diesel in one of my trucks, love it. The only power/wiring it has is for the starter and alternator. That is hard to beat in my book.

Yeah that is it, I bought a Nissan Patrol from him many years ago before he started Extreme Vehicles. IIRC his name is David.
