Saw this at the N. Nevada Lowes yesterday. '75 is my guess, based on 4 speed trans and no vent windows in the hardtop. Check out the funky, period-correct 'wind wings' screwed to the door itself. I have never seen these on any '40. Original 'Snow Cruiser' spare tire is cool.

Holy smokes. I’d take it just like that, spray paint covering the rust and all.

I think those Kenda Klever RTs are my next tires too. Wonder who that belongs to. I’ll scope out SAS next week, it might be somebody headed that way.

Wyoming plates at the Advance Auto by the University in Laramie. Maybe local? Interesting, too, with the little hood scoop and it's LHD but has those bumper you often see on JDM trucks. I bet an interesting story behind it.

Did you check whether the front brakes were disk or drum? Of course that's the difference between a '75 and a '76.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the bumpers, but then I saw LHD.

I spotted this in front of my business this afternoon. I looked out the front window and was like "REALLY"? You gotta be kidding me! So I hopped in my 250 and drove around to the front parking lot and pulled up next to him. He looked over and his eyes just about popped out. So we got chatting, the guy's name is Brent Johnson, and he's been an Evergreen resident for over 20 years. He got his 250 (Land Cruiser model) from Stevinson 2 weeks ago. He currently owns a Hybrid 2022 RAV4 and a Sequoia. He's loving his new 250 and is selling both the RAV and Sequoia. He had never heard of Rising Sun and I texted him the link to our web site.

Saw this 80 series just above Georgetown today during our slog down I-70. Dual-sided awnings, the world's smallest propane tank and Florida Antique plates.

Submitted by a friend. HDJ81? Looks like they went through emissions today with those wheels & tires.

LHD, Saudi spec maybe? What's that thing going from the pavement to the LF wheel I wonder?
You’re seeing a steel cable used as a lock on that front left tire. Apparently the truck is from Spain, hence LHD. It’s very much not for sale, but also might show up on BAT - or so I was told.
