Also,

Onboard welding may have saved them. Or simply having a handful of heavy duty load straps. 3-4 of those and I think it could have been driven to help. Or a combo of straps and onboard...

I got three words....

BIG HEAVY TRUCKS!

Do these prices include all the importation fees? So in other words these prices are for the trucks as-is in SoCal?

I have been told this truck is for sale for the price of $15k.

See here,
...

I used to own it. I paid $18k for the truck over 10yrs ago. I then spent nearly $18k fixing it up mechanically. I then sold it for around $20k locally.

I know who owns it. Through the grapevine,...

No worries.

I have seen a lot of trucks from a lot of countries. JDM can be very good, but myself I just don't want RHD. And yes I have had a few. I would rather take a JDM truck and convert it...

Unfriggin' believable trip! To think that Patrol was parked in my driveway and is now in Africa. Just awesome!! :Wow1:

I always enjoy the amazing pictures and updates.

Cheers

Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

Yes I have long term experience with air bags.

I had two different brands and sets in my 04 Tacoma. Each set did a trip to Panama and back with heavy loads, the Taco weighed 6,000lbs. The first...

And many Nissan Patrols....

How do you get that it is beat from 2 pictures? And 300k is 186,000 miles. Panama is in Central America not South America. It is also one of the richest countries in CA. Panama and Costa Rica battle...

No I wasn't kidding. I have done my research and then some. :)

Cost about $2k to drive it to the US, pretty fun trip too! Buying power of the US dollar and solid trucks cans till be found out...

Telling this to a guy who has done as much importing as me seems kind of....I don't know, like stating the obvious.

My point was, why import when you can get as good here if not better? If you...

My point was simply that you can get a superior trans for the same kind of money. And it is also just my opinion.

It is not a big deal but isn't cheap.

I have had a lot sent to me from Australia, New Zealand and Colombia (S.A.). For at least 6yrs now, shipping has killed it. I had a 5spd trans air mailed to...

Looking good man, looking good!

Very nice!! I will look for it around town. And my offers till stands for a cold beer. ;)

Congrats and welcome to the club!

I have some 62 parts (work on 60's) if you need anything. I have no axle stuff though.

Cheers

Fantastic!

Congrats on the quest for the right truck. Spain is certainly a good country in Europe to import from.

I dig the upgrades and mods, the axles are killer! I like it better on 37's...

Great picture! So they had the 3L TD with intercooler then? I have driven the 3L in a SWB and a 4.8L petrol in a wagon. Both were great but the 3L diesel didn't wake up real fast, bit of lag. I also...

Why would I freak out? They are your kids....

I didn't think any states allowed that anymore. Goes to show what I know.

I actually need the plate at the back of the engine and the bellhousing from a Scout. The Patrol stuff is different.

I bought my SD33T to NV4500 kit from IHonly and have also got a quote from...

Maybe it has already been discussed?

Do you really travel with your kids in the back of the truck!? Not only is that illegal these days (not that I care about that) it is pretty unsafe. I don't...

The comments about the body moving or flexing is correct. But on my 1st gen (04) Taco the ARB bar had serious vibrations. You could walk up to the bar, smack it with your hand and it would vibrate or...

First thing I noticed about the videos linked above. How big the Darien was in the 60's.

Cheers
