Ever see one of these before?

The double cab's granddaddy! These were really made, guess they were only sold in Africa and in right hand drive exclusively. Pretty cool I thought.

That thing is awesome , Love to have that rear bumper for my truck

 

Grandpa?

 

Rightfully so, no peerunners in that configuration.....

 

I think it's cool as heck, I want one. Have to get used to shifting with my left hand though which would be weird and I'd always be trying to get in the left side!

 

So cool!!

 

But imagine the twisted roller coaster of pleasure that road head feels like from the opposite side.

 

They sold them in Europe too. Used to wheel with this dude in Germany, steering wheel on the normal side-



This FJ40 troopy is pretty cool and also USA unobtanium.

 

They get all the cool ones over seas...

 

That thing is sick, I want it!

 

I had one of those in South Africa. Awesome vehicles. I had about 250,000 km on it when I sold it and it was still as solid as a new one. It was a 2.4 diesel. Newer ones are 3.0 diesel - also comes in gas, but I don't even know what sizes - never cared for gas (aka petrol) when there were diesel options available
When I came to the US in 1997 I could not believe that double cabs were not available here - all the dealers told me that there was no market for small crew cabs. Boy were they wrong - most of the small trucks sold now are double cabs.

 

That is sweet! Yeah I can't believe Toyota didn't offer double cabs here long before 2001. Really sucks because double cab first gens are so rare. Think Dodge was one of the first to come out with a 4 door Dakota, Ford never did with the Ranger and it took Nissan and Chevy awhile to come to the party too.

 

I saw this one for sale locally a couple years ago.

That is so cool, a double cab diesel, what a dream come true! Wonder if a guy could buy a left hand drive out of Europe and bring it to the US, bet it would be a pain in the ass but could probably be done. I've heard of people importing diesel Hiluxes here in the past.

 

You can pick them up through this company every once in awhile.

That one was a left hand drive. I talked to a guy who bought it from this place where I saw it for sale. He said the guy he bought it from, was originally from the Netherlands, and he had it shipped here, and used it as his daily driver for years. I also saw the same guy driving newer styled european land cruisers as well.
Either would be a pretty cool ride though.

 

Sweet, even a Landy with a diesel would kick ass to drive.

 

This thing is local to me , not exactly the same but still pretty cool
