Looks-wise, I've always found these L200's absolutely top of the line. Slight curved lines and rigid straightness in the perfect areas.
The new ones look awful and suffer from the modern bubble-truck design meme.
>>15422568
I think the new one would look better with the chrome grille as body color, but I'll never see one so I don't care. The mid 2000s ones are definitely my favorite, I wish I could import one.
>>15422568
It's what normies want, even though they don't
look that butt-ugly. I mean they have a bit more distinctive styling, while the previous version was really a bit plain.
The wheels look a little bit lost in those huge wheel wells though.
>>15422611
>The wheels look a little bit lost in those huge wheel wells though.
It's a 4WD. They're giving room for suspension travel and larger tires. It's not a bad looking truck, though.
>>15422622
Well, yeah.
Guess only the stock wheels look so tiny, guess it would look better with beefier tyres.
They won't come to the USA though, because of the chickenshit tax.
There's a Subaru Baja near my house and it just looks bizarre
>>15422630
Do you think there's enough of us to petition the gubmint to repeal the Chicken Tax? Because the only thing it affects these days are small trucks and honestly, that's the only kind of vehicle I want. I don't need a big truck, but I need something more than a car or shitty crossover.
And it's getting harder and harder to find Nissan D21s that haven't been abused by Mexican lawn crews.
>>15422648
>Do you think there's enough of us to petition the gubmint to repeal the Chicken Tax?
No. You'd have a better chance petitioning Mitsubishi to start building them here.
>>15422650
I'd love to start getting the Mitsubishi Delica over here.
Why do you think we have no chance? Do they really gain a lot from keeping that inconvenience tax in place?
>>15422671
>I'd love to start getting the Mitsubishi Delica over here.
Eh, maybe if they base it off of the Pajero again. If you want the older ones then you should worry more about the gray market import laws.
>Why do you think we have no chance?
There isn't no chance, it's just less likely than the other thing.
>>15422676
All right, I guess as auto enthusiasts, we should petition the companies to start producing them over here. Quite a few of them already manufacture vehicles here, we just need to convince them.
>>15422747
That's a good thought, and at one time I was as enthusiastic as you are. I sent letters to the CEO of Ford Canada making a well thought out argument for the rangers return, and it never reached her desk. Instead it gets filtered to their Customer Relations department.
Some PR drone making $12 per hour responded to my letter thanking me for my appreciation for Ford and Ford Rangers.
They say the FORD RANGER will return in 2018 being produced in the USA. Some will probably say this is due to customer demand but I personally believe it was their plan all along beginning as early as 2010 they probably planned to discontinue it for a few years, let the thirst build and then come back to the compact/midsize market.
I believe it's all calculated and customer voice has very little power today.
>>15422517
Wtf that looks like it will fit in the bed of this
>>15423732
Maybe. So what if it does?
>>15422634
Please don't bully the Baja.

Toyota confirmed for shit frames be it a compact truck or a full size.
>>15424558
Not our fault you don't know how to maintain your truck
>>15424566
that guy has a real chip on his shoulder about it. Its a sign his life isn't really all too interesting
>>15424566
Has nothing to do with maintenance. Toyota themselves issued a recall over it the problem got so bad. There are class action lawsuits over it.

known issue so rust proofing is a part of regular maintenance.
Learn what maintenance means.
>>15424611
>rust proofing is a part of regular maintenance.
wut.
That's like saying that replacing the automatic transmission in a Honda Civic yearly is mandatory maintenance. it's not something you should worry about.
The only rust proofing that works are those oil-based ones that you need to re-do every year.
>>15424620
no, it's like saying the need for rust proofing is a known issue so rust proofing should be part of an annual maintenance routine.

>>15424664
Meant to ask if this was worth going out to look at.
my Ranger
just got a couple anime stickers and I'm trying to work up the courage to put them on
Used to own a '93 Mitsubishi Mighty Max extended cab years ago. Wish I still had it.
>>15423982
There's no reason to believe that.
>>15423963
>I enjoy cars that dont break every time you use them
Toyotafags honestly think every other car will break down all the time so they relegate themselves to overpriced defective penalty boxes.
It's like only knowing what it's like to eat actual shit because actual shit is easy to find, and the whole time thinking regular food is even worse than actual shit because they've never eaten it.
They may have tried eating regular food but it's all wrong because it doesnt taste like the steamy shit they so know and love. That's just got to suck being Toyotafag
>>15424797
Don't it will look weird man.
Would have to be an 80s Ranger to get away with it.
Maybe if the current one was lifted or something
>>15425168
I guess I see your point
But then what do I do with my stickers
Want this 1986 nissan 720 and its 106 HP of pure glory.
because i havent posted it enough already
>>15426187
My dick
I'm going to try and get one exactly like yours
>>15426187
this thing is so long i thought it was a shop. the wheelbase is ridiculous
>>15426187
Bruv. I got an extra cab 4x4 with the 5speed.
>>15422634
You don't say that
>>15425046
There is. This was the 1997 only special edition.
Best color, best grille and recessed headlights, best wing mirror. Best everything.
JDM only and Hilux a shit.
>>15426195
i test drove a lot of short beds while i waited for mine to come in from the factory, believe it or not they drive about the same.
obviously mine will be a little hindered in a real offroad scenario, but i dont get up to the tech trails very often
>>15426204
sweet. the xtra cabs look great in the new body style. i mostly got the double cab so i have room for my dogs
Toyota please
Also if defenders are going out of production there is potentially a huge euro market now for a proper truck (as posted earlier, most pick ups have gone bubble meme)
>>15426193
do it. i fucking love it so far. just shy of 10k miles on the clock
>>15422634
Why? It's LITERALLY just an Outback with the cargo area cleared out for a bed.
>>15426254
Fucking Aussies get all the best 4x4 options. Sure, everything is expensive as fuck, but goddamn if they aren't the quintessence of utility.
The closest we get in the US are overpriced and oversized fullsize SUVs and crew-cab trucks, or the occasional small fleet truck that will fall apart in a few thousand miles because its been so poorly maintained.
>>15425092
You say that but I'm loving my Echo with 230k miles. Wish I had a hilux.

>>15422611
It's kinda sad the Fiat is a better looker.
>>15426833
>>15422611
Although I infinitely prefer the ML Triton as opposed to the later MN and beyond.
4M41 is the stuff of gods. Far better than that plolished turd of a 4D56 with common rail stuffed into it. And don't even get me started with the Mitsubishi Lancer based 4N series diesel.
>>15426851
I know they're criticised for looking ugly, but fuck those opinions.
They look like a stretched Mitsubishi Dakar buggy to me.
>>15426712
except the American designed and built trucks it competed with NEVER had that problem. It's literally just Toyota.

its a classic
I drive a 2016 Hilux, planning on getting a canopy for the rear after my Tax return comes in
>>15424536
>all of these Tacomas and Tundras
Bahaha, by the way, this usually happens when you are towing higher than the maximum ball limit, or at max limit going 4x4'ing and mounting an incline.
>>15426978
The Extra Cab in all of its strange glory, there is no "J-Deck" (the one with tie down hooks) for the Extra cab, so they have to fit the SR5 tub to the SR spec truck, meaning there's little to no difference between the two specs in this cab.
>>15426871
That's because the Pajero Evo went to looking like the Pajero Sport.
>>15422546
The sexings.
>>15426318
Actually it goes further than that. They not only took the roof off, but they also stretched it by 5.7 inches behind the rear axle, that's what gives it these awkward proportions. Awkward unless of course you're American and are used to ridiculous rear overhangs from Detroit's old station wagons.

>>15427840
The 1VD in the 70 series is a single turbo and significantly less powerful than the one in the 200 series.
>>15426984
No. If happens when you live in up North.
>typical misinformed toyotafag making excuses for everything.
90% of the trucks involved never towed a thing in their lives.
Just bought this 2001 b3000 for $3300 with 12k miles as a beater until the vw thing is settled. Just replaced the dash lights and changed the oil and in about a week I'll be replacing the cam synchronizer just to be safe.
Anything else I should look out for with 2wd Rangers and the 3.0? Also it's prior salvage but must have been cosmetic I couldn't find anything wrong structurally or such. Did I fuck up?
>>15429675
120k miles
>>15429675
Father had a 3.0L growing up. I'd be extremely wary of the 3.0L V6. They aren't exactly known for reliability. The 2.3/2.5L I4's and the 4.0L V6's though were fine.
>>15429682
That's about the mileage my fathers was when the lifters failed spectacularly and shot 2 pushrods through the oil pan.
I'm not saying your's won't be an exception, but I have never heard anything good about the 3.0L Rangers/B-series.
it's a racecar
>>15429719
well shit, not a big deal though, I just need it to last until october, if it lasts more than a year its paid for itself for what i have "invested" into it. are you sure your dads lifter failure wasn't caused but the cam synchronizer failing? from what I read thats the major cause of motors blowing and Ill be replacing it in about a week.

seems like the best thread.
what you americans think of the price of US cars in AUS.
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mardella/cars-vans-utes/chevrolet-c1500-factory-454-ss-truck-swb/1093111929
>>15432014
That's beautiful and all things considered, a decent price too. The 454 SS was based on the C/K series full size trucks but was a high performance version, much like Ford's SVT Lightning truck or GMC's Syclone (which, btw, is still the fastest production truck ever. pic related)
>>15432025
you think 25k is decent for a car that isnt even road registered? shit.
oh i am not new to pickups, just want a stupid big American engined one, nearly purchased a srt10 ram last year, but it's 85k in AUS.
pic related is my ute
>>15432034
454 SS's are rare, even stateside and command a price premium because of it. If it were any truck beyond a Syclone, SRT10, SVT Lightning, Typhoon, or 454 SS, I'd have said 5k was too much for it. big engined trucks essentially grow on trees here. I could look on my local craigslist and find 10 trucks under 2k with big V8's.
>>15432034
You also live in a country where that shit has to be privatey imported. This means there is no set market value in your country and, due to the rarity of it over there, the owner can charge whatever the fuck he wants. Your best shot at getting one at a decent price it to privately import one yourself.
>>15431988
What do you have now?
