    Reminds me of a scene from Rescue Me...the guy was sent up to talk to his 16 year old nephew after he was caught doing the business with 26 year old smokin hot teacher..."I dont know how you do it.You get Sharon Stone and when I was at school all I got was sister Mary shovel face"...still laugh when I think of that scene... Paul

    My own humble opinion is LEDs should be outlawed on vehicles.They blind other road users.Theres a debate going on in Europe to outlaw them.What ever the rights or wrongs of that and again in my opinion LEDs have no place on a vintage vehicles...just my thoughts.... Paul

    I hear you.Im just a regular working guy but I wanted a Cruiseliner since I was 14 years old and saw Pig Pens in the movie Convoy.I sold my small vintage vehicle collection and had to take a small loan to get the deal over the line.I was bidding against two others who had very deep pockets.Ours is just a hobby truck but you have the extra pressure of having to get your truck ready to work.I wish you the best of luck with it....

    Yeah that can be done on the Hi-Lux too.No buttons for the transmission just levers.Front hubs are manual lock too.One thing I notice is you guys call them yotas we call them yodas....The latest Hi-Lux is all buttons.No fun to drive anymore..... Paul

    The nearest yoda to the tacoma over here is the Hi-Lux.2.4 turbo diesel 5 speed manual 2 speed transfer box,a top class machine.I had 2 of them a 2001 and a 2003 both identical even in colour(green). Restored both to a fairly high standard.Plan was to sell one and keep the other but then a certain Cruiseliner came up for sale and I sold both to fund buying it.I plan on getting another one some day..... Paul

    Its 42F here in Ireland with wind and rain.I went out to do a little work on the Cruiseliner but its so cold I abandoned ship and came home.I think you guys are right about the age thing making it even harder to do stuff......Mothers polish was recommended to me but I cant see any difference between it and the polish I was useing and its 3 times the price!!! Paul

    You'll be glad to get back to the outbackfor a bit of heat Paul!!! Paul
  13. cruiseliner64
    Can I ask what polish you use for the final shine? Paul
  14. cruiseliner64
    Stunning just stunning...hope to get that shine on my bits!!!! Yeah the dirt has to go somewhere...... Paul
  15. cruiseliner64
    Yes your tread has me thinking about doing that engine..... Paul
  16. cruiseliner64
    Love to have the tools and knowledge to turn out an engine like that.I know where there is a 350 tip turbine about an hours drive from me.I was thinking of getting it and doing a rebuild on it but dont know if I have the guts to take it on..... Paul
  17. cruiseliner64
    I love this tread.You guys have some knowledge..... Paul
  18. cruiseliner64
    Yeah 30k british pounds no Value Added Tax....but thats only in the UK.If anyone in the EU wants to buy it then its 23% VAT and 22% registration tax on importation...aaaarrrggghhh Paul
  19. cruiseliner64
    Same here..my son and his wife bought a newly built house last year.Now its a real nice house but no bigger than mine...360000 euro about 415000 USD. Now that 15 times what I paid for mine.Wages havent gone up 15 times...maybe 6 times what we had back then.its crazy but it will crash again...it has to.... Paul
  20. cruiseliner64
    Yup its upside down ok...seems a lot of them came out of Hayward that way.... Paul
  21. cruiseliner64
    And it is a beauty.We cant open american FB marketplace over here so can you tell me what price its selling for? Dont worry about talking over my tread I love the chatter!!! Houses are the same over here.I paid 12000 Irish pounds for mine in 1989.Adjusted for inflation and converted to euro its about 21000 euro about 23500 USD.Its now valued at 350,000 euro about 405000 USD.

    Welcome to the group and greetings from Ireland.Thats a fine B model you have got there and it seems to be a rare one too.Best of luck with it and keep us updated on your progress....oh and more photos please,we love photos..... Paul
  23. cruiseliner64
    Sad thing is if the UK was still in the EU we could import that truck for a flat rate registration charge of 200 euro about 230 US dollars....🥶 Paul
  24. cruiseliner64
    No im afraid not.The import tax would add 45% to the sale price.That plus shipping would make it about 50k in euros 58k dollars US.......😪 Paul
