Not exactly plug and play but it went on today. Still to sort out winch control socket mount, light connections and a number plate mount. Seriously heavy with the winch bolted on trying to get it lined up with the chassis rails. Transformed the look of the car.

I know, I wasn't expecting it to be so well packaged up. It even has slip joints in the middle to pull the frame apart easily. Once it's on the car I'll get a few more pics up. Instructions are crap lol but I'll work it out.

Thought I'd update this, after much searching I settled for an AFN bar which is compatible with the factory winch. Nice looking bit of kit but just need some time to fit it now. Still not 100% sure what to do with the built in lights, one set will be fogs which the car already has. Thinking the...

Starting to think it might be easier to replace the winch and use the existing wiring.

Finally had a chance to get under it tonight for a look. Easier writing down measurements and taking a pic lol.

Never heard of them before but very interesting site, thanks for that. Loads of vdj troopy bits.

Will do once i get underneath for a look this weekend. My shiny new front runner roof rack arrived today so im abit distracted.

And just drop it in the post :laughing:

Yeah, seen some totalled cars after hitting deer. I might be wrong but as i understand it bullbars are illegal in the the uk on cars newer than 2007, unless you have a winch.

Great, thanks for that. I hadn't looked at iron man and their premium deluxe bar looks similar to the toyota one. Regarding the winch, yeah I'll need to get a better look at the mountings and measure out the stud pattern. I know original is mounted between the chassis legs rather than onto...

Lol no roos but plenty of roe, fallow and red deer running in front of cars oh and plenty crappy drivers about too. Also I need somewhere to mount my spot lamps.

Thanks, interesting to read about Merc. Sent you a PM, I have part numbers.

Hi folks, Having bother trying to source a Bullbar for the 76 wagon here in the UK. Very jealous of the choice in Oz but difficult to find a company over there that ships to the UK. I fancied the large tube ARB Bullbar but it's not compatible with the factory winch apparently. ( Anyone know...

I reckon this ones been garaged somewhere on the South side of Japan and its never seen rain let alone snow lol. Ive owned 13 year old fresh imports in the past and they've been clean but nothing like this.

Aye the beige cloth is abit specialist lol. Not sure about the leather option though, maybe that was kept for the lexus version.

Some lucky uk owner is waiting on a cracking cruiser coming off the boat. Same agent i used to import my 76. Cant believe the condition of this cruiser under the bonnet and throughout for its age.

Like a posh Mitsubishi Delica :laughing:

Starion, now theres a rare sight these days. Didn't top gear have one? I love my Japanese cars, had them for years. Regretted selling the jdm mkiv supra TT 6 speed. That thing could fly. The fast cars were going to get me into trouble so decided on the cruiser. Id been looking at 80s and 100s...

Cheers , yeah looking forward to it. Might even get the lockers engaged :) Those Vellfire's are stunning bits of kit, pricey though as i think they're over 60k to import. Paul that is Japautoagent is spot on to deal with and has contacts in the right places making it easy to import a car...

I'm hoping for the worst, coldest winter ever :) To be fair they've had some good seasons recently just been raining in blair though.

Cheers Dave, I imported through japautoagent. Check out their YouTube page as they've helped folk bring a few into the UK now. Always worth a question to your local company but they might hike the price up for their cut if they're a dealer.

Looks cool though but definitely alot of money for the condition and mileage. You could easily sink tons more money into as well if you wanted an expedition truck.

Cheers Ben, i know of another four in the uk lol but there must be more. Its a 30th anniversary from Japan running a 4.0 petrol.

Thought I'd stick some pics up of the 76 up the hills around me and playing in abit of snow up Glenshee a few weeks back. The sunny ones are up Linn of Dee near Braemar. A mate of mine directed me to an old coffin trail route which is an old right of way from Kilry to Kirton of...

Interesting project for someone. Dont see them that often in the uk. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/283264663246

Spotted this one a couple of weeks ago, 3rd relisting and a price drop. I wanted to get in touch with him about the only one in the uk :grinning: Its nice though, same engine as the FJ but its down 35hp. Looks like it still needs undersealing for the winter but im surpised nobodies been...

Cool, nice troopy. Yeah those tail lights you have are interesting as they do stop ,turn and reverse. There must be models that dont have the bumper lights as standard.

When my cruiser was imported the place getting it ready for IVA testing stole one of the reverse lights to turn into a fog light which i wasn't happy with but knew it was better than having a light dangling under the bumper. So decided to have a look at the tail lights and noticed a couple of...

Im sure you need proof of ownership of more than 6 months in Australia before you can bring to it into the uk as a personal import. The jdm imports just have to be no newer than 6 months old to bring them in. Im no expert on the subject but i know the agent i used mentioned it was more...

Yeah the sound from that v8 diesel is immense and im not even a fan of diesels. The JDM import seemed easier compared to getting one from Oz.

Hi all, With my cruiser being a fresh Japanese import im getting it ready for the winter so thought I'd share some pics of the work. Couple of before pics after a hot wash and the rest are after the dinitrol has been applied. Guy doing the job was really impressed by the build quality of the...
