[bak3rme]

great rig nice pics! so how do you get to reside in japan? are u a native? I was asking because I saw a Caucasian female in the picture.

 

[smokey66]

Thanks guys, I love my truck but she's still got a long a way to go!

@bak3me - No, I'm in the military and currently stationed here.

 

[Hepar]

I dig it! Would love to have the 3.0 TD.

 

[SIKHILUXSURF]

sweet hilux!!! it would be badass if you could help us get some parts! welcome!

Hey man that thing is awesome I would kill to have a diesel ... how did you mount your fishing rod holder? I kind of like the way mine turned out because I think they look less cluttered than most other options super easy to do too

right after I installed them

 

[1985taylor1925]

So diesel runner is just awesome. But even more awesome is that I used to live in Okinawa Japan when I was a kid! Kedina AFB. Such an awesome place. Have you been to Okuma beach? White beach?

 

[smokey66]

@SIKHILUXSURF - Let me know what you want. There are two 3rd gens in the junkyards right now. I can snag the rear hatch and spare tire carrier right now if you want. PM if you want parts and I'll scout for you.

@Doug18 - Thats clean the way you mounted yours. All I did was drill two holes in each pipe and bolt them to the bumper. I would have liked to do it like you did, but I have fog lights and an intercooler in the way. Plus they're off to the side so kind of out of the way as much as they can be. Only down fall is they snag trees on the way to camping site and snap the line. lol.

@1985taylor1925 - Yeah, I love the island. Okuma beach is nice. Lots of good wheelin up on Mount Yumi (spelling?) just north of Okuma. And I've only been out to White Beach once or twice. But it is definitely cool with all those little islands right off the coast you can kayak to. but you know what is even funnier than you previously living in Okinawa? My first name is Taylor! OH SNAP!

 

[smokey66]

Nothing like a 12 hour shift on a Sunday, but it's okay, because I got to come out to the work parking lot and see this

 

[Young_gun]

man that thing is sweet. I would probably donate one of my testicles to have a diesel t4r.
Two things though, why do you have a fartcan as an exhaust? and is that thing on the hood a side mirror?

 

[smokey66]

I could not tell you why the exhaust is so big. But it did sound nice! I cut it off right behind the rear axle to keep from crunching it offroad the other day though. And yes, that is a mirror. Not very functional, and I don't think I've ever legitimately used it, but it's there! lol.

 

[smokey66]

New 851s and top plate spacers should be sent out today! As soon as they get here I'm throwin 'em in and goin wheelin!

 

[rickashay]

Awesome Hilux. I'm jelly of the diesel power!

 

[hugo2go]

Thats sweet. So what branch are you?

 

[smokey66]

Yeah, the diesel doesn't play games. It has no problem pullin anything I put behind it. I used my truck to pull down/rip out trees after a typhoon ruined our favorite trail. lol.

And I'm USAF.

 

[TheDurk]

nice surf. loving the color!

It's the same color as my Brazilian HiLux. It can be more purple or more blue depending on the light. I should have bought the Diesel, but it was $6k more.

 

[smokey66]

Yaup, mine is the same way. It all depends on the lighting.

But anyways, I took some new pictures today, thought I'd share!


Smokey got some new toys!!

My sweet sticker collection. I'm trying to sticker bomb this whole window. Feel free to send me free stickers. I'll move to other window as soon as this one is full. lol

Interior stuff. I know, it's dirty...

The diesel in all her glory
