New Surf owner in Japan

Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. I'm stationed in Misawa and I own a 1991 Hilux Surf. It's the 3YY-E 2.0L engine with 138,000 km and an automatic transmission. I thought I'd try to make myself a cool a$$ off-roader and I stumbled upon this site looking around. I read reviews about this model (4Runner in the states) and everyone wrote rave reviews about it. There are a few issues with the truck but I will post pictures later on.

Hi and welcome!, must admit i never heard of the 3YY-E 2.0L but i aint an expert on them, is that a desiel truck?, i got a LN130 2.4 TD and thats under powered, how does yours pull from take off?, need to do a few cheap mods to mine to get it off it's backside turned the turbo compensator screw about 8 clicks clockwise, that and a lt of auto trans fluid in half a tank of desiel seems to have woken it up
By the way if your flying over southern england on your way back and want to make a few bucks you could air drop some nice jap aftermarket surf goodys
to us, i'll provide the smoke marker
