Before I snagged my Skyline GTR I was looking all over the US for used cars. They had amazing deals and so many places with either no rust or very minimal it was really appealing. There is no issues bringing cars up from the US to Canada. It's a bit of a process. Check this link: Registrar of...

That's good to hear. I fear if I do I might never want to return back up north :D

As soon as the Land Cruiser was announced I went to my local dealer and I was the first to sign up for one. They told me it would begin selling in the spring of next year. I suspect Toyota won't release a new T4R design until 2025. I say this because you still can't even see a 5th gen at my...

You might just get it. The new Crown is a 340HP Hybrid Max. The Land Cruiser announcement I read said it is planned to make 326HP, so a bit short of the Crown, but it's likely going to be a bit heavier. The Crown is over 4300 lbs and still gets 30 mpg! I suspect the LC will be similar so a new...

I'm interested in the 3 hoop one but depends on shipping to Ontario Canada. I tried to check on the DO website but after making an account and processing through the order the system fails to provide a shipping estimate.

NAFTA success!! Shrockworks came through with the NAFTA forms: So the total price is down by: $154.83 (6.5% duty was refunded with this proof of US manufacture, FREE TRADE FTW) So roughly $2745 for sliders and the skid plate kid delivered to a residence. UPS said no extra charges for a drop...

You're welcome! I did my driver side one in with I ran over a decent sized log. Didn't have a chainsaw with us and it was just too much to move. Damage was not awful and I almost have to let non car people about it to be noticed. Truck is just new to me so it was bothering me. That and I...

Thanks for the heads up. I actually asked them if they did it (UPS) but they said no thankfully. I just assumed the $49.99 was a standard fee as the few customs brokers I hit up all had that same rate. Cheers!

Finally have some info to report back to you guys with. I'll start from the beginning and run you all through to the end. 1) Order placed on August 26th. 2) Invoice received on August 27th 3) VISA billed on August 30 - $2,396.59CAD for Sliders and 5 piece skid plates - NO DEPOSIT TAKEN, BILLED...

Hey, I owned a 1990 Skyline GTR (R32) for 6 years and when I joined up here. I just sold it at the end of this summer actually. It was a very sad day when she was finally picked up. I have a couple of pictures of it on my g+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MikeWaz These 2 potato cam videos will...

Parts were supposed to be build a couple of weeks ago and shipped out start of last week. Been trying to get updates from Shrockworks but no replies to my last two emails (sent 6 and 3 days ago). Been like pulling teeth getting info from these guys. Hoping the parts are much better than their...

I shot this close to home about a month back: https://youtu.be/V-M9M6zOgIA?t=930

Their cost for shipping and handling was $149.72 to Oakville, Ontario. I checked RCI, bud and another shop I forget the name of now and their shipping and handling was $400 to $450. Taxes and brokerage fees in my experience are the same with DHL, UPS and a few of the other shops I had dealings...

The vids I posted of Acton and Coke plant were just with AT tires. I did order sliders and skid plates after the 2nd outing to the Coke plant as a few of the water crossings and deeper trails were just a bit much for a stock truck. I also crushed the aluminium running board a bit on the driver...

Thank you. I'm not sure about the exact location in Acton but it did take a few tries to find an entrance that didn't have boulders blocking the trail. Coke plant looks very well traveled for a place that is closed to the public. Some of the spots were dug up so deep they could swallow my...
