Anyone know of the best route on getting RHD parts for a 89-95 Hilux?

Ya i remeber checking out your build years ago
Good stuff
Where did you get your parts?

I was part way through building my truck and totally lucked out, I didnt plan to swap it to RHD. There was a guy locally that got the truck off of a barge from Japan, the shipping company went under and owed his crane business money so he grabbed the truck. It had 1100 miles on it. It sat for a while and I decided I wasnt going to build 2 toyotas and couldnt sell the parts, so I put them all in my truck including the firewall. Good Luck with your build!

I bought it from him, immediately after seeing it, I think I paid $900-1200 for the whole truck.

Heads up if you are doing this mod to a street driven truck, it could potentially limit your resale value in the future. We have a flood of RHD vehicles in the province I live in because a neighboring province banned any new RHD registrations. Basicly if you had one there you can keep it but nobody can buy it in province and register it if you sell. This screwed a lot of people over who had Skylines, Supras, Sylvias etc that were imported from Japan. Worst case scenario i know but it also shows that it can happen.

As far as getting parts maybe try posting on some Austrailian mini truck forums and see if anyone can ship you parts. Engine importers sometimes bring in half cuts which might be an option as well. The half cut would be good because you could harvest all required nuts/bolts/clips needed to make it look very factory looking

Good information guys
This a show truck that is driven less than 2000 miles a year
Are there any trucks in your providence that are being parted out ?
I dont need the firewall just everything bolted to the other side...
I want to use a OEM dash to keep it clean looking.
I posted on http://downundertruckin.com but havent gotten any replys.
Considering that im on the east coast it may be cheaper (shipping wise) to have somthing shipped from UK rather than Japan or Australia.

Thanks again
