Hilux- Surf JDM options/parts/SSR-G/SSR-X: Post info

[GhostRing]

A small, albeit desirable difference for me would be the "correctly oriented" rear window switch after doing a 99+ console swap.

yea reclining rear seats is a plus. Im going to look for a seat and see if i can swap the brackets to my leather seats.

Dream list:
Rear hatch and spoiler + swing arm
reclining seat
Meter thingy

I'm gearing up to modify some USDM rear seat back frames to accept the adjustable JDM seat back latches (of course Toyota couldn't use the same seat back for both markets...). I put a few picks of the latches in one of my threads floating around here if you want to see the differences.

I'm interested in that high idle switch... I would bet the feature exists in ours, but is just un-wired. Anyone know of an FSM of a JDM 4runner???

Any pictures of the dual battery setup. I've been wanting to add a second battery for the fridge.

I have to wonder if there are some US safety regulations that force that feature to be deleted?

Yeah, that and cost. Tariffs on vehicles exported from Japan are high, which really cuts into Toyota's margins. If they brought over all those goodies, 4Runners would have been $4-5,000 more, probably.

I noticed that the switches and switch blanks are in a different configuration on the outside of the steering wheel (far right on RHD, far left on LHD).

I was in Japan last fall and I stumbled across a couple of Hilux Surfs - but all I found were later "facelift" models equivalent to the 01-02 4Runners.

Pardon the terrible photos. I shot these from a shuttle bus I was in. Never came across one while I was walking on my own in Tokyo.

From some angles, I think that facelift front valence looks good:

From others, such as the photo you posted, they look kind of hideous!

What are the differences or options that came with the jdm version of the 3rd gen?
