actually, the last HDJ81 to roll off the assembly line in Japan was in 1998
if you are going to make statement, please at least do your research.
Crushers, I'm afraid you may be missing the point.
Weather Japan halted production of the 80 series in 1996 or 1997 or 1998 - whatever, the point I was trying to make was the South American plant in Venezuela continued production for another 10 years or so, up until 2006 - 2008 ish.
I DID DO MY RESEARCH, you cant fault me if the source I used was wrong. Type in Toyota Land cruiser in Wikipedia and you'll see what I mean (I'm not allowed to post URL's in this forum until I have made a minimum # of posts, I would have liked just to post you the link I was reading from). Wiki has been known to be wrong before.
And to set the record straight, I wasn't trying to 'correct' BLINDADA by one year, I was simply repeating what I read on Wiki.
Where I made my blunder was I was replying to a post by MATT WRIGHT from page 1, I failed to scroll all the way down to the bottom of page 2 and see that BLINDADA had basically already said the same thing only his years were slightly different.
Also, this forum only gives a little time to edit my post, is there any way this can be changed?
