Dang! $148 shipped? Where did you buy the parts if you don't mind me asking? The only reason I've been considering the new style parts is because they seem to be just a little bit easier to find. Although, all the stuff I've found is approaching $400 for either set-up. :doh:

Awesome! That's just what I was looking for. I wasn't getting good results since I was using different years in my search.

Front Bumper still available? (Is it Chrome or painted?)

Do you still have the front bumper? If so, how much for that?

So, had a mishap with the Surf a few weeks ago. I want to get the thing fixed up and back on the road ASAP so looking to just stick with an OEM style bumper. I've already taken most of the front apart (lights, grille, Surf bush bumper). The pic shows the damage to the bumper. What needs to be...

I must have done that a half dozen times when I got it and was driving around downtown Vancouver. I felt so embarrassed but I'll bet nobody even noticed. Now when I jump into a normal LHD car, I'm constantly hitting the wipers when I go to signal. Go figure!

Hi. I think you're on Heights too! You helped answer a couple of the questions I had a month or 2 ago, when I was getting ready for it to arrive. My new lights just arrived (headlights and corner lights) so I'm putting those in tonight. I was going to wire up my DRLs to the corner lights since...

My truck is a non-intercooled model and on my way from Vancouver to Winnipeg, I was easily getting 9L/100km. On the stretch from Golden BC through Banff and Calgary, then filling up in Medicine Hat (which, if anyone can tell, is a fairly lengthy drive right there) I only used 3/4 of a tank and...

Not sure if anyone has swapped it into a 3rd gen, but it was available in the last year or 2 of the 2nd gen and guys have done some swaps into those. My truck has an A340F which is the same as the early 3rd gens I believe.

Not sure if you looked into it already, but TYC is a company/brand that makes aftermarket OEM style headlamps. 1999 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Headlamp Assembly I just had to order some since my Hilux needs DOT lights. You do NOT need to buy new housings if yours aren't cut up or anything. Chances are...

Hey guys. Thanks for all the comments. I've been lurking on this forum ever since I thought about importing a Surf. Now that its here I love the thing but there are already some mods that I want to do :bravo: First things that I have to do are install daytime running lights (DRL from this point...

Wanted to introduce myself and my ride. I'm going to use this first post to track my build and progress as I go. Had her shipped straight from Japan. 1996/11 Toyota Hilux Surf KZN185 1KZ-TE, auto. Put over 4000kms on her the first week she arrived, driving from Vancouver, BC to Winnipeg...
