Saw a silverish/blue 3rdGen on my way back into town today that had Hilux badging including SSR5. Anyone know whose it might be? Looked pretty stock, but it caught my eye.

Might be like me. I'm a poser. I had a friend living in Japan and she knew I was obsessed with the diesel Surf's, so she sent me a set of badges. I've been debating going back to stock badges.
 
wondering

Maybe similar to mine, SURF tailgate and they have the carrier perhaps?? Especially if it's a 3rd gen I say that cause it's next to impossible to import RHD, trust me, I tried:juggle:

I looked for the rear hatch carrier lock and it was bare like ours and it definitely didn't have the tire carrier... I'm thinking it was just rebadged... but I'd like to assume it was a real one! Like a unicorn! Might have also had a AF decal on the rear window, couldn't make it out tho.
 
Not all Surf's come with a rear tire carrier. The ones without look just like the rear hatch of a 4Runner. The dead giveaway would be the RHD.

We were importing JDM RHD WRX front clips (as parts) and a mechanic friend of mine swapped the firewall, dash, etc. into a domestic Impreza shell and made a late model,
street legal STI Version IV clone. Possible with a Surf clip?
 
If anyone wants sweet sweet genuine Surf accessories I'm in New Zealand, we have a plethora of excellent stuff for cheap - my 1KZTE (3.0 Diesel Turbo) Surf has the factory field monitor with compass/altimeter etc. and I'm sure a lot of that stuff would be cheap to pick up here - although you wouldn't want to ship the larger parts.

Let me know if there are any cool JDM bits you want, as our Surfs are pretty much all imports... Mine came with a cool mesh grille nudge bar that I don't see around very often...

Let me know if you can ship a Field Monitor Unit to Virginia, US.

I would just be finding one second hand, most likely on 'Trademe' - our version of ebay - and sending it over, so I could ship anything anywhere really - it's not something I usually do, I just like these forums and want to help people get stuff they can't ususally find...

Can I get pricing on shipping the whole thing in pieces? I'll put it together on my end.

The entire surf? Haha I'll have to find one and strip it down myself :becky:
 
OP you are not crazy! Your daring tale inspired me to finally create an account after much stalking and drooling. I saw the Hilux you are describing about two weeks ago near UA campus heading east on Speedway on my way to Mt. Lemmon. I feel like I have spotted bigfoot!
