Amongst other things, this thing had either a 308, 350 V8 conversion (sounded like a 308), Full Muds and what looked like a custom rear suspension set up. Maybe that club on the front windscreen has a Website.

This one is a US spec 45 series wagon petrol,probably a mid 60s vintage.

We didnt get too many of these in oz. Ive only seen one in Perth and another for sale in a trader mag :D

I like the diesel 45. I came across this one and nearly bought :D

I should have added that this diesel HJ45 is one of 217 built for the aust army and used for northern defence and surveillance.

Wow, is that the original duco? Looks to be in very good shape, but belonging to the armed forces you know it would be serviced religiously.

I haven't seen any wagon's like that US spec one here in VIC, only the usual SWB's (Most these days running around with 308 conversions) and troop carriers.

Im glad you liked it. Most of the paint was original. The front around the headlights had a quick blowover but it looked ok.

It had a spot of rust in the floor,but it didnt seem to be rusting quickly if you know what I mean :blink:

Apart from that it was original. The winch had been removed,but all the connections seemed to be there. I think it ran off the PTO.

It was 5sp with discs and power steering:rolleyes:

Ive added an interior shot

The wagon was mostly sold in the US. Someone told me that aust got the second highest amount but it must have been a very small number.

Bit of a surprise there's no snorkel on it considering the amount of creek crossings and bog holes they'd use it to go through.

Reminds me of my Cousins old one. He fabricated his own Canopee for the back, never washed it either !

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
