try contacting jhot_exports thru ebay - they seem to do large shipments and occasionally they are selling Hilux Surf parts - I can get the parts just can ship a tire carrier - too big and heavy.

E-mail sent to them. Oooooh their warehouse is in Georgia-only about 3 hours from me.
Oh boy, that's a dangerous site-JDM SR20DET and SR20VE VVL motors. Drop that into an older G20 and I'd have one fun 4 door car. Ah, remembering the days of my built SE-R. Alright enough-BACK TO TOPIC!

Brett,
Here's the answer to your PM (hope you don't mind):
My importer is willing to ship to the US straight from Japan. Only question is how are you going to pay him? He's a Japanese so you can either send payment to Japan or here in the Philippines (he's got a base here for his imports). Hilux Surfs here in the Philippines are JDM imports (3rd gens are limited in numbers only - most are 2nd gens) so no wrecking yards here. There are also a few 2nd/3rd gen 4Runners that have been imported from the US. Locally, Toyota sells the LC120 Prado.
HTH.

here's something i hadn't thought of..... will the JDM carrier support a 285, or even a 35" for me? with the position of the carrier on the body, will the dimensions of the tire become an issue? would it hit the rear bumper?
