    So you're doing the full right hand drive conversion plus diesel engine correct? :thumbsup: A true HILUX.

    That's what I see when I hear the word JDM.

    Lmfao you guys are trolling this kid so hard, no idea why anyone hasent asked this guy what a "TRUE JDM OFF ROAD" vehicle is...cause even a hilux is a hilux to me not a jdm truck a JDM build to me would be like your putting a jdm motor in tranny and then solid axle the front with parts from Japan leafs from Japan on and on from Japan even then I'd just see it as a Japanese truck
