I am not a big fan of ex-Japan (converted) units, I'll go with the Ranger.

Plus, since you are already using the said vehicle (and knows its service history & maintenance) that kinda seals the deal already.

alwayz yummy - diba halos same lang ang parts nang LC nang Japan & LC na local. Yep brand new nabili nang father ko, ginamit niya for a months then binigay niya sa akin kasi bumili siya nang 06 Hilux.
Yun nga lang talaga hinde ko alam kung panu ginamit...

IMm29 - yun nga lang kasi ang laban, brand new yung pick up ko, 2nd hand lang kasi yung LC80...

so di mo alam paano inabuso ung ranger?

pareho kung pareho, may mga ibang parts lang di/mahal mo mabibili dito like yung full-time a/t, skyhook-TEMS, mostly sa pangilalim(alam ko iba pang-ilalim ng jdm lc80 vx-limited kaysa sa local nating LC80).. kaya i'm betting on 75%-90% parts availability, dito sa manila/any major philippine cities...

ang advantage lang ng LC80, kahit luma na, iba parin ng arrive, kahit x-JDM yan..pag maganda ang convert, pwede nang matagong converted siya, unlike sa mga most JDM vans na LH parin ang sliding door. at siyempre, kahit 7-9 kayo sa loob, comportable parin plus, its an off-road vehicle, kaya virtually anywhere in the philippines pwede mo syang dalhin, almost no limit ka.o the only downside, is, power and luxury comes at a cost.....

kung ranger ka, well, almost every provincial capital may makukunan ka ng piyesa...at siyempre seats 5, pero medyo sikp sa likod at matag-tag ng onti than expected...but the advantage kasi is zero(0) invest ka sa ranger mo(bigay ni erpats pala,e), e di magagamit mo pera mo for maintenance and porma nalang halos..laking tipid nun...mga 600-800 thou din yon!

teka 4x4 or 2wd lang ang ranger?

The JDM LC80 and local have the same under chassis. only the shocks are different, the JDM being adjustable but most of these that comes with the suvic are broken already and being replaced with aftermartket ones. but basically it is the same.

If I was in your place I would stay with the ranger na lang unless local LC80 then its another story.
