Your bonnet being stuffed just means your hood is messed up in Aussie lingo, right?

 

I been wondering if I could get som doors imported in I can build the rest........Super nice truck I am also envious.

 

SUBBED that truck looks sweat

 

what a bad ass truck !

 

Well a little update. I managed to pick up a second hand bonnet and both front doors for $20 each so I'm pretty happy about that. The bonnet is far better then my current one and only has some small dents and a patch of rust that I've now fixed. The doors will pretty much just be spares or I might fix them up and sell them, I'm not sure yet.

I'm on holidays for summer now so I'll be getting some more progress. The plan for the next few weeks is to order some new carpet, get the tray and chassis tied and painted, some new spotlights and over Christmas the long awaited respray!

I was wondering if there is any good websites for trying to find parts for my modal mainly I'm after a chrome grill and headlight surrounds which don't exist in Australia. Any help would be great! Thanks!

 

oh man im so jealous right now.. Does anyone know how to import one of these? NICE truck dude, although i would put the box or "tub" back on im not a fan of flatbeds.

its so beautiful....

 

i am sure one of these places would be willing to ship overseas

Such a nice truck. I am extremely jealous that we can't get those dual cabs in the States. Might have to do a custom project one of these days.

 

Well no updates on the hilux, she's up for sale at the moment with a little bit of interest but no serious buyers.

In the meantime, I have bought a 1998 HZJ75 Landcruiser Ute.
Pretty basic Specs
1HZ Diesel
Power Steering
Air-Con
2 inch lift
31" A/T's
Custom Rollbar
Bullbar
Dual Tanks
Spotlights
Upgraded Headlights

Future plans for this are some 285/75/r16 M/T's and a UHF. It's a bit of a change from the hilux but it's a good change.

 

for sale???? what????? nooooo, gos i wish i could ship overseas, how much are you asking if you dont mind me asking, and very nice cruiser! keep up the good work!

 

I never even knew those Landcruiser UTE/pickups existed until a couple of weeks ago when I seen one at the zoo. nice find.

 

This thread has pretty much convinced me to leave the States.

I am very interested in the prices of those vehicles over there.

 

Well, I'm asking a whole $2500 for the Hilux, believe it or not, an unpainted 82 Hilux doesn't really go for too much over here even with no rust and good mechanics. I might have to work on shipping it over to the US.

As for the Landcruiser, they are very common in Australia, mainly as farm rigs and mine trucks but they're great for towing and are great trucks

 

$2500!!!!! Holy cow!! I wonder what shipping and importing fees would total out to?

 

Only $2500!!! That is crazy. You really need to stop, I don't want to live here anymore .

 

Feel free to move over here any buy it. Australia's a great country, except for the casual kangaroo and drop bear attacks, you couldn't ask for more.

 

You'd be about $5500.00-$6k by the time you pay customs, cleaning fees, freight and misc charges on both ends.

 

for 5500??? double diesel hilux??? mines for sale to anybody intrested! hahaha! if i had the cash id def buy it dude!

 

Awesome rig bud. Love to have one of those double cabs for hunting trips. Always thought those land cruisers were custom conversion, like the j**p brutes.

 

Total or just to bring it over?

To be honest even if it was $8000 (and I had the money), I'd still consider it worth it. Anyone know if any of these were sent to Canada? Might be a tad easier then.
