日本車???最高
Long time lurker and first time thread posting. In November of 2008 purchased a 2000 Toyota 4Runner from Tennessee (106k miles at the time) with the intent of building to Japanese (JDM) spec. For me the truck is more of a hobby; my man cave on wheels. I expect to have it completed soon and would say I'm about 90% of where I want to be. In case you're wondering what SURF or Hilux SURF refers to, it's the Japanese version of the Toyota 4Runner. It's also badged as such in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and much of the world. Cheers!
