Recently delved into the idea of a JDM inclinometer for my 'Runner, leads me to wonder what other parts may be across the pond that we didn't get here. Most of my buddies didn't even KNOW 2nd gens had an inclinometer. What else is there? I love having hard-to-find options.

 

second gen's had an inclinometer? o_O

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

Don't have mine yet, so "links" will have to do:

I saw a "JDM" bumper along with integrated driving lights on eBay one time. Not sure if they were OEM.

 

MY JDM HILUX!
that thing that looks like a snorkel is a parking mirror
also window and fender flares
power anntenna
FACTORY ROAD FLARE!



the best option a turbo diesel engine!


ALSO has hard or soft shock setttings in the rear!


SECOND GENS FROM JAP HAS INCLINOMETERS THATS THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE TO FIND FOR MINE

 

I met someone with a JDM Surf and had a look underneath. There was a sticker on the rear axle that clearly said in bold red letters "LSD". I can only assume that as a limited slip, and it would make sense to put a sticker on the axle so limited slip additive would be added when servicing. Anyone able to confirm or deny that there was a limited slip option for 2nd Gen Hilux Surfs?

 

yea mine has 4.88 lsd!

 

Yeah, I read somewhere earlier today, that a good number of the overseas Yotas came with LSD's.

Say, what does the "SSR-X" mean/stand for?

 

The Surf my diesel came from had an LSD in it. But sadly I only got the front axle from it and not the rear differential.

 

dont worry the toyota lsds only last 100kms anyways

 

You can find the "JDM" flares on some CDN 2nd gen 4Runners along with the molded 3rd brake light spoiler.

 

yup, just made my decision.. im movin to another county. seeing that turbo diesel wraped up the deal lol

 

wasn't there some weird 'solid axle' option that people in the USA didn't need, or maybe we didn't want...? wasn't that in there somewhere?

 

Yep, damn Australians. I wish my ancestors were British criminals...just kidding.

 

SSR-X is a trim level more or less equal to an SR-5

some other options included a "field monitor" [an electronic compass thingy there are threads about them here]
depending on the year/market either solid orange front corner lenses [jdm] or lens with integrated turn signal repeaters, or front fender mounted turn signal repeaters[euro/aussie].
various styles of factory "bull bars"
factory vent visors
some markets got factory installed emergency kits,

 

always like the taillights w/reverse lights, they work when the tailgate is down!

 

I was looking up pics of JDM Surfs, and the spoiler for the third brake light is really attractive. Thinking about getting one. =D

 

You can get the flares and 3rd brake light off of the Medallist ed. 4Runners.
