    unless you really know what you're doing and getting into, better stay away from RHD conversions

    right hand drive. Hilux Surfs are imported second-hand from japan (a lot are in poor condition) and converted to left-hand drive here.

    a lot of things can fail with many of these conversions, we're talking about potentially life-threatening failures here.

    Right Hand Drive, marami kasing parts na kailangang usisain at ayusin bago mapatakbo ng tama. Based from your queries, you're better off with a brand new unit with warranty.

    I have an Isuzu Big Horn/Trooper na converted. You have to know what you're doing sabi nga ni mbt and si Ungas. Kung newbie ka get a local unit.

    Masarap magkalikot ng mga ex-RHD kasi mura sila and generally kailangan talaga kalikutin.

    Pero kung wala kang hilig magbutingting at mag-ubos ng oras sa sasakyan mo kakaresearch at kaka-ayos, wag na lang.

    i don't recommend surf kase walang conversion kit yan for LHD unlike mga pajero...kung din lang gusto mo talaga imported eh get pajero instead not surf.

    before i ask a question kung rav4 na 3dr or pajero 3dr na converted....i got the pajero 3dr and have it checked at inaayos unti unti...now...i don't have a single problem with it... :-)
