The front right wheel looks skew compared to the left or is my eye sight deceiving me?

Something def seems wrong with the front wheel allignment, then again with tyres that size maybe thats the only way he could turn it. I wonder how much new tyres like that are? Looks perfect for driving on sand. I think his price is reasonable if everything is in good working order. I mean someone paid R30k for that red SFA the other day and that needed like 40k to get it to be nice again. I think the only problem is, the fuel consumption as already mentioned.

Don't think there's anything wrong with the steering alignment. Geometrically correct steering requires the inner wheel of a steering arc to be at a more acute angle. If one looks at that pic from the front and the other one from the side, It's quite apparent that they were taken at the same time where the vehicle is parked in the same spot. From the side pic you can see the wheel is turned .... the front pic perspective just makes it appear to be out of alignment. If it were out you would pick it up very quickly with broad tyres like those .... they would scuff terribly (very audibly) and the steering would be noticeably difficult to turn.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

That is a good buy! I spent more than that on Bosbeer (NOT including purchase price! :shock: ). Just the tyres are over R4k each...
