I'd rock the shit out of that, beautifully engineered simplicity, with a touch of aesthetics.

Early 90s series 70- not that the 70 series has changed much over the years.

75 series pickup. The 78 series (wide front) aren’t importable yet but you can front end panel swap them.

I've got a turbo v8 ute and have had landcruiser utes of various types for 30 years. The best one in my opinion was the tubo straight 6. I liked it alot better than my current v8. I should have bought it back with me when I left oz. Sold it in oz and bought a v8 in nz regretted it ever since.

Why the fuck would someone go through the trouble and cost to import one just to beat up the bed by hauling wood?

OP has a better chance with getting Lujan than getting that truck.

Quoted: Did great on that View Quote Thank you sir. It's fun but the 6.0 LS is getting boring. Might have to do heads and a cam. (It came to me without drivetrain so hey, LS it is) if I had unlimited budget it would have been the turbo V8 engine imported. It did however peg the 180kph speedo with ease. In minecraft |

Yours looks like one where these trucks are common as house flies, whereas here it is a 50K plus with exorbitant import fees to bring into the US. I'd buy a POS US truck for that shit. |

Available sure. RSA, Common as house flies not so much. Lot more Ford, Isuzu, Hilux, and - God help me - Mahindra. Avg yearly volume is less than half the worst year Sequoia sale in the States. About 2500. There's fewer in Namibia Attached File That was my pic but not my truck Exorbitant import fees? I wouldn't bring one in from RSA, but SA or Europe. RO-RO form Hamburg's prolly down to less than $3k, pick up a decent, clean 75 for less than half what you're talking, with duty you'd be under $30kp . A shitty one for less. SA you could do better, tho many hombres know what the got now. |

View Quote I've driven a bunch of RHD cars and I will say the lifted 75 RHD is largely a non-issue. Driving a 240 or something like that you can't see around, but with the 75 it's tall enough to see over/through other cars. If it gets anything it needs a modern v8. Makes them much more drivable. Mine has AC heat, etc and also over 350 horsepower. All the torque in the world doesn't matter on a US highway, plus the LS makes more TQ at any given RPM than the diesel engines of the same years. |

I DD a RHD 80 series. Other than ATMs and passing on two lane highways I agree it’s not bad. The reversed blinker/wiper stalks drive me fucking batty though. I have two LHD 80s and a LHD 100 so the nearly identical dash fucks with me. |
