Folks,

All right, technically it's a HILUX Surf, but the US Navy here has purchased four 2004 models.

This is the first one of the four my command is getting. The Commanding Officer immediately made the first one his official vehicle.





Pretty cool! I was told he went to a meeting at another base and everyone wanted to know who's vehicle it was and were all awestruck. He's the envy of all the Colonels and Navy Captains here. Probably the Generals as well.

 

That's really cool! That front end shot is particularly flattering for some reason.
So now is everyone going to think you're a CO too?

 

Heheh...Mine is WAY better looking.

Edit: That front shot is probably flattering because of that Eagle and placard in the windshield.

 

Here's a better picture of the CO's calling card on his Surf.

 

Hey Woody.

Nice pics. I wonder if they're all going to be white?

How about XReas , I'm sure the CO would appreciate having it when traveling between bases.

I'm guessin' it does with the SSR-X on the back!

I love the white 4runners! Looks naked without the roof rails and rear spoiler.

 

It appears that the drivers side of the vehicle is on the RIGHT. Correct?? If so do you have a web address for your local dealer? Been thinking of trying to get a right side drivers seat to replace the US version passenger seat in the Sport model. Would like that seat to be height adjustable and have lumbar support also.
Thanks
Tom

 

call me stupid..but what's that on the fender near the lights..is it a mirror??

 

Yes thats a mirror. I personally like the side clearance markers if thats what they are!

Doug

 

I'd like to be able to purchase those sidemarkers and the HiluxSURF emblems

I will be the only Hilux owners in SoCAL!

 

Doug- All the Navy ones will be white. And those are the side marker/blinkers. I think there are lots of threads about installing them.

The mirror looks across the front bumper and down the left edge of the tires.

MrTom- You can't order anything from the dealers web site plus it's all in Japanese. You'd be much better off trying to get someone in the states, maybe Jason B, to check for you.

Timber- I think Jason B can get you the HILUX badges as well.

 

Why do I get the feeling that the CO wrote the specs?

 

Nah, he may have had some "recommedations" though.
