Yes. That are a SFA Hilux

Very slow, uncomfortable and not light in the fuel department.
BUT, very capable and can go anywhere, not to mention, extremely reliable and have bulletproof engines.

Looks in very good condition Rubin, congrats on the acquisition!

You may already know by now, but you asked earlier .... it's a 2.2lit Raider (4Y motor) and I guess the model to be somewhere between '91 and '94. Raider models came with rear diff-lock as standard, except for the 2.2 models, so I don't think you will have a rear diff-lock unless it's an after market fitment. You mentioned "front lockers" .... I think you might be referring to the hub-locks that are used to engage the free-wheeling hubs (these have to be engaged together with the transfer box to get drive to the front wheels).

Good luck and enjoy the vehicle

... SFA's are awesome!

Pettycash · Post by **Pettycash** » Mon Feb 03, 2014 9:03 am

Mud Dog......a man that knows his Luxes of the sound of it [THUMBS UP SIGN][THUMBS UP SIGN]
It is a 2.2 no difflocks only lockers on the hubs front,and its a 92'
Thanks for the info!!how do they rate on higher level 4x4 courses? I know the driver contributes allot so im sure ill find out sooner than later :rofl: just curiouse how they are rated without the diflocks!?
