Tom sent me this picture of a Cruiser he was smuggled into Afghanistan in before they opened the border this week.

He said he was under some pretty foul smelling rugs!

Have you noticed the Rancho stickers on the rear windows of some of the Toyota trucks over there. If you have not, try to pay attention to the rear and side windows?

The tickers... We get a lot of them here in Pakistan.. OFFROAD MACHINE.. OFFROAD MAGAZINE.. RANCHO... and many more.. Most of them are fakes.. copies produced locally.. and most of them are on comercial 4x4s..
When I wanted Rancho 5000s for my Cherokee, I had to get them from the USA... We dont get these parts here.. not that I know of..
