    Is it at least like with family or a friend in Michigan, the way your describing the situation it's in, it seems like it's sitting on the side of the road being parted out by locals as we speak lol Sucks you can't transfer it to Australia, hopefully you figure this out and it does get sold quickly because it seems like it's going to be a great deal.

    Haha, no it's not on the side of the road, I wouldn't treat my lady that way... It's well secured with family in a heated barn/workshop. Just on blocks to preserve the tires. Yeah wish it could come over here, (would be the perfect vehicle for the outback) but it would be tough as shit to import and then tough to drive as well, being right-hand-drive here and all... Thanks for the good wishes! Tell your friends!

    Hey, but according to most here on TW you are actually the luckiest man alive since you can now purchase a Hilux instead of a crappy Tacoma!

    True true, but being over here now and seeing what Aussies do with their trucks, I can kinda understand why Toyota didn't go full bore with the Tacoma for the North American market. Hiluxes are used/abused/modified/depended on much more on a per truck basis out here than in N. America. It just comes down to market research and economics really. I know people bitch about the differences on TW, but there is a reason...

    Well would you look at that... This guy stole my idea, and he isn't even repping it with style. And yes, my truck needs a wash.

    I have bolt on sliders from AllPro. I just do not have the time to put them on myself. Anyone recommend a good shop in town to do it? Also maybe powder coat them?

    Thanks Steve

    Thanks to everyone who recommended Arrow Alignment. They sorted out what I suspect was just a plain old bad alignment done by Firestone. There is a write up in my build thread for anyone curious.

    No worries. You should join a few of us down at the Pioneer Saloon one of the times you're in town.

    New to the region, living in Death Valley, sadly had to haul my lift across country in a box due to UPS mangling a leaf spring. Looking for a place to get OME kit installed and wondering if there is any place in Pahrump worth going to or should i just make the voyage to Vegas. Thanks
