Congrats on your purchase slurry_curry, I don't think it is a bad thing to spend a few extra K's on a known service history truck. But like Tremek said and for anyone else tuning in, shipping a vehicle across the country is much, much cheaper than I ever thought it would be now that I do it all the time.

Listen I’m the weirdo with 100 grand of weird Japanese imports but 10-15k is one range and 22-33 is another. I’d say get a nice down south Lexus for 14-15 maybe down in fort or something

Do you know or can link a place or give an idea for prices for a Land Cruiser truck bed? It is what is holding me and my buddy back from purchasing some Cruiser fire trucks. Haven't been able to find out if a truck bed is available.

KakerMix posted:and I remember hearing anecdotes from people working at Lexus in the early 90s and talking about the gold emblem package they would put on cars. I think they even talked about 'Midas Touch' or some sort of term for when they would put it on cars. I worked at a Lexus dealer in the 90’s, there was a young guy who visited once a week or 2 to gold plate the emblems for customers. Some kind of electroplating setup or something just a little rolling cart he had and a van. I imagine he made BANK back then. Hope he saved it!

Beautiful. There is a reason built to strict standards by people who care. I love all cars but in the end you probably end up in a high end Yota.

Also, it appears that every person who rebuilds transmissions is on meth yet somehow still takes way too long to get it rebuilt. I actually got sent to this program called ASEP for GM when I was young and when they had the automatic trans taken apart trying to teach us how to rebuild them i was like yeah i do not want to learn this or ever do this again

It’s million yen for poo poo now this has happened in a few weeks time. The wave will hit USA prices soon. My best bid who has 2 Prados is getting just BS messages I told him to raise the prices past 20. They are fantastic.

LobsterboyX posted:With the popularity of the "modern" era cars, I see this as the last time you can possibly pick up a 100 for a decent price. Their popularity has been growing slowly for so long, and while I paid quite a bit, close to this truck, mine has under 100k - I often wonder how much I could get for mine if I were to sell it on a site like BaT or DD's new site cars and bids. Cruisers are gold mines my good buddy has been sitting on his two Parados for past 6 months and been tempted to lower price. I told him to raise the prices and fingers crossed he’s got a guy spending the night in a hotel checking both out in the morning g and picking one. What I paid for my Prado is impossible now. That why I’m keeping my Celsior I think no if I score any cruiser at my bid I know I can double my money. And it can still happen. But hard hard hard market right now. Forget the virus it was slow during March but the money is there and free flowing. If you are happy with your LC keep it and treasure it.

If all you need is shade why not go with a $100 Chinese special from Amazon? I know ARB is top of the line but seems like a lot of cash just for that use. Just an opinion.

I totally see the benefits of something like a premium ARB if you use it all the time and get 10 years out of it. But if you just need some shade occasionally get a clip on amazon one. It stalls money not mine! I had lots of Japanese campers with ultra nice Gianna retractable awnings I see the appeal and convenience.

The Bean looks amazing and build quality looks too notch. If it’s in your budget by all means! Just seems so pricey (says someone who has spent $40k in a month on JDM imports). But seriously the pics and from your impression it sounds like an awesome camper/trailer! In other news I have way too many cars and my kids were begging for a LHD car (out of 20+ I don’t own one). I traded my mint bit not starting Surf for this. 92 Cruiser 163k, rust free. Nothing out of pocket to me. Trader shipped both ways. I probably got the short end of the stick. I doubt anyone wants to help but it idles rough at times and will only start in neutral not park. Brand new tires. Hey I’m always up for something different and my oldest has been getting tired of being dropped off at middle school in tiny Japanese cara. No one appreciates anything. I have a beautiful Crown Majesta arriving this month as a keeper bit I’d like to keep the Cruiser as well if I can get it fully sorted if not should be an easy sell.

I have acquired so much stuff, and along with your Bean purchase, looks like I am going to attempt to build my own teardrop style camper. Will post a thread once it is well under way and I have CONTENT. Also, I happen to have a 92 Cruiser, lifted (huge rear end truck) 169k miles, that I absolutely do not want. I think after I sell this for ridiculous going to get a JDM stock Cruiser to keep.

Your Bean looks very cool! I am thinking if I do build I’m going to stretch it out and not have a “galley”, hopefully can cram me and my 2 giant kids in to one. I cook almost every night I think we’d be fine just grilling. everdave fucked around with this message at 13:13 on May 4, 2021 |

After the first Bean outing are you happy with the purchase? I am hemming and hawing on whether to start a build…for you yes a camper is no questions. Just trying to ask myself if that would really suit my needs or if I should just put the money towards the jdm Cruiser I want as my second keeper vehicle

MomJeans420 posted:I Are there any discounts to be had by going jdm?. Not really but the way US prices are climbing maybe? I just look everyday at the auctions so I have the luxury of bidding somewhat low and trying to get lucky (what I could have got for 8-9k tho is 12-15 now). I just specifically want a diesel vacation package model or trim they have. But I’d settle for a low km completely stock diesel or gas in the right color, or go after the rare 5 speed 80s there.

I am not an expert but I’ve taken some jdm campers and vans lately to the waterfall campsites nearby and rv sites have power tents do not. So it was nice to have an extension cord just to power things and the price was only $20 more

Really really like the blue - haven’t seen that before - but I do think the bronze would work better on your setup. I think with all the accessories it would kind of clash (blue)

I had a 14k mile 2.4 turbo surf and someone put gas in it at US port I assume and it ruined the engine. It was absolutely beautiful and black. I traded it for a nightmare of a cruiser but it’s all over now. I have CONTENT to add to this thread but not ready yet. Soon. SH everyone will want your Surf. Make that money. They are obviously tighter quarters than the LX. But absolutely more visceral

Yeah I wanted to insure my Delicas and one classic place was insanely high - higher than normal full coverage and the other was insanely cheap. Got all approved and then wouldn’t do it because of the age of my other vehicles. All pretty ridiculous. Say what you will but at least Progressive doesn’t blink when I throw JDM stuff at them monthly.

Has anyone used Smittybilt Defender roof racks or their brand rooftop tents? Reviews seem to be good...going back and forth whether I want to get a huge rack and tent for my Delica or keep it completely stock...the Thule tents look nice too. I would prefer a hardshell tent but don't want to spend that amount...

Vampire Panties posted:I was about to post in the 4x4 thread, but - i just got back from a night out using the smittybilt RTT, and (at least for me) its a dead end and I'm going to be selling it ASAP. This is absolutely golden real world experience! Sorry you hated it but I imagine I would to - so you’ve basically turned me off of it. My Delica folds out in the rear to a huge bedding area anyways - unless I can find a deal on a hard top instant up and down tent I am passing. Sounds like a big annoyance and my van would take a much bigger power sap than your Tacoma
