Yea, thats what I figured, just wondered if anyone knew why they are different than our trucks, plus there are no other body mods done to the truck except the emblems and bed hooks.

Man, they have to keep the trucks nice in Japan if they want to make it worth it... Don't they have a tax that "encourages" people to buy new cars?
Definitely a beautiful truck.

I hope this man was away from all of the areas affected by the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear plants. Japan has taken such a huge beating...

I really like this truck everything looks great!

Well there is 1 thing that i dont care for which is the wheels but thats my opinion!

That thing looks like it would be a really fast luv tbh.

Just an FYI, they arent rims, they are spun aluminum covers that screw on or clip on to a steel rim, just a big flat hubcap.

I'm confused... Weren't our LUV trucks sold in Japan? I figured they would be more prolific in their home country. Troy, weren't you on the hunt for original Japan parts/documentation a while back?
