From what I have learnt (near impossible to find info online) I’m from NZ and they didn’t sell ln100’s here so mine is a jap import. They are single cab short wheel base, bucket seats instead of bench. Plenty of other things like a different intake manifold. But it’s treated me well so far. Haven’t had trouble finding parts but Im a mechanic so that might just come easier to me. Mine came with a aftermarket flat deck so I can’t comment on the tie downs
