I must commend you 46&2 for continuing to put cool rigs in here.
Nice thread. Wouldn't take some of the details in the first posts to seriously tho.Hilux was produced on the "same" platform from the first models to 2005 when it was totally redesigned. Until then it was just new bodies and evolution, evolution however meaning that hardly a single part was the same the first model and the lasts. The best models where probably the live axle diesels from 1993 to 1997 (all gasoline trucks got IFS from 1989, and some diesel too). I believe those models are also one of the most reliable car ever made (to simple to brake down actually )4 latest generation Hiluxes have also driven to the South Pole, from a Russian base, that is located on the Antarctic coast almost as far away from the Pole as possible! And yes, they have IFS up front Experienced temperatures below -50 degrees Celsius (enough for pure anti-freeze to turn solid).Land Cruiser what?
I came very close to trying to get a roller sans engine/trans shipped through my wife's work as they import from south America often and her contacts down there agreed to help me. As it is it is darn near impossible to get it through without paying an importer a heavy price and if going undocumented like I was going to try was too risky as they xray the containers. I am still working on it and have an American in Guatemala looking to ship his car home so I may be able to get him to buy it and ship it as his, he has done it fairly hassle free in the past. As of now it is a long shot but I want one bad.

Not a bad idea. I gave you a like. I would love a 79 series cruiser with a regular bed on it! You might want to post this over on TTORA or YotaTech too.
I did some research on Mahindras a while ago, in fact, I think I made a topic on MC about it. In my opinion, those Mahindras are ugly and I would never buy one - and I'm a little scared to see how poorly they are built.I did some searches of 79 series cruisers after you posted this and found this pic:
