Has anyone seen the new 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine yet? The 70 series on the cover is awsome!
I believe they were leaf sprung until 98, at which point they switched to coilovers. Not sure what year this one is exactly, but I think it was pre-coil suspension. So yes, as far as I know this one was swapped.
they didnt swap to coilovers, they swapped to front coils like the 80 series cruisers had. they have always and still now have leaves in the rear.
i wonder if other countries look in aw at our tundra and tacoma?
I knew YOU would like it, Nick. So when are you getting your 70 series? If anyone does, it'll be you!
In broad terms, I believe it's because Toyota Australia won't bring them in and they have lobbied government to stop others being able to import them (can do 1 as a personal import tho) in any sort of numbers as it competes directly with the Playdo and the import would be cheaper with more "bells & whistles" similar to the Surf (sold by Toyota in Japan) - 4Runner (sold by Toyota in Australia). Generally in Australia we get vehicles that are of lower spec. than that of Europe, England, Japan, etc. cause as a nation we don't demand it. Seems a bit like Australia is used a a bit of a dumping ground for running out of models. As an example .. a Surf with a 1KZ-TE engine built/sold in Japan in 93, however they were not an available option in an Aust. sold hilux till bout 2000 !!! My observations anyway
Very clean 4Runner diesel in Carmel CA. $4500.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-Toyota-4Runner-Hilux-Turbo-Diesel-/280806280266?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item41615bcc4a#ht_730wt_1167
