You have earned your comment to be pinned at the time. Thanks for your help.

[@johndiaz7240]

Thanks,you are the best at walk a rounds.

[@bellaquigley6173]

Could you please tell me how to get the pop up roof up? I have just had one delivered, a 1995 model, almost identical to this. Also, opening & closing the tail gate makes a horrendous noise. Can anything be done about that? Thank you for reading :)

[@toyotaprius2177]

I am now going to listen to Yellow by Coldplay and comment Pacific Coast Auto brought me here

[@djathens]

This one is probably a full-time 4wd with an open center differential. It seems like they moved away from part-time 4wd to full-time sometime in late 1993. Coincided with the change from the 2.8L to 3.0L diesel engine. Downside IMO is the open center diff, since the part-time system had a permanent 50/50 split front/rear power distribution in 4wd. With the open center diff of the full-time 4wd, if the front wheels started slipping, it would take power away from the rear and send it to the front causing more slippage. That wouldn't happen in the part-time system.

"You also get...a paper cup!" yaaaaaaay

[@Zenitvk]

This car has a full-time auto 4wd. Like Prado 95 has. So, it can't have the switchable hubs. You gotta buy a 10-22mm lens. It'll help you a lot. :-) Cherry blossom. Awesome. We'll have them in the end of May. It's colder here than you have. 🤣

[@PacificCoastAuto]

This video was shot on my new lens. It's 12-35. F2.8 Micro 4/3 doesn't have one that goes wider than that with a nice low aperture and zoom.

[@Zenitvk]

12? Damn. It is too narrow. I forgot if yor camera is a crop or fullframe type? Check your email.

[@benjaminrush4443]

Very Innovative. Too bad they never thought about an American Market. Bet these would sell in the USA.

[@azrifadli7900]

4:55 I see the Isuzu Rodeo or Mitsubishi Pajero,Two Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 4 and 5 and Toyota Dyna Fire Truck

[@lartrak]

Did this used to have a toilet that was removed? Maybe a little thetford or something? Seems like it in that bathroom. Just weird seeing a shower in a vehicle that small and no toilet.

[@enquire422]

The shower cubicle must have some type of bolt to keep the extender up.

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

Derek vin number show you its whats kind of Engine body style or 4WD or RWD LH119 4WD long base 3L engine LH107 short LH129 super long

[@piotricz]

This has got to have THE worst cloudy lights (or rather indicators in this case) I've ever seen. But all of the equipment and the condition it's in more than makes up for it.

[@Zenitvk]

Piotricz I thought so too. But he says it is kinda tuning of the lights. :-)

[@ryankalalang614]

Will you import in the Philippines? If not, do you know any associates that I can get in contact with that imports japanese cars to the Philippines?

[@7Andy77]

I love this car. Japanese cars are so impressive, and all solutions are so thought through to bring the best experience with best space usage. Does this model has an engine under passenger's seat?

[@shammiirosh3017]

I love it

[@jimbeaver27]

nice setup for munchkins

[@venkatmohan1549]

how much this cost and how can import this to India?

[@garbage854]

Nice :)

[@daleroberts4942]

I love this one , but is there room for a

[@daleroberts4942]

Bathroom / shower.

[@daleroberts4942]

Great question.

[@daleroberts4942]

Bathroom in the back.

[@ajdahun]

how hard would it be to convert to manual frt hubs?

[@Zenitvk]

ajdahun hubs, transfer assy, control levers, drive shafts in some cases. Pretty expensive idea.

[@ajdahun]

depends on if those parts were used where I live, we have excellent bone yards to pick from

[@Zenitvk]

In here there are also enough junkjards. But the part-time transfers applicable for the Surf platform (and HiAce either) are not so cheap. Jeepers like this mod very much. FullTime is really useless on OffRoad.

[@dorianreyes2373]

I want the hilux!!!!

[@Designandrew]

Baka auction listers

[@arvindsingh3591]

Can I import it to India

[@stevemartin4249]

hmm ... I appear to be blocked, or my comments are too long.

[@jalava78]

Someone bought a fire engine :o

[@LouisSubearth]

jalava78 it's not the first one he sells or features in his channel.

[@rileybarringer9823]

Air struts are probably busted because of the way they hung the shower

[@Edogawa1117]

8.20 for the interior.

[@IROCKID]

Please find me a truck

[@جسدبلاروح-ظ9ذ]

Love toyta japn

[@martionpaul3210]

I look ing for one 4wheel drive

[@karimquraishi1032]

late 1995 they toyota changed hiaces and they no longer offer 4x4. from late 94 they come in AWD and thus no hub locks- a tip from www.silkroadautos.com

[@LouisSubearth]

Derek, read slowly.

[@raulvilcapuraca496]

Como podria traer a Perú . .??
