Re: Help viewing lux in Durbanville.

Thanks Gents, received a pm from Stampie Aka Danie who is going to assist me. Details I have on the lux is; 1991 Toyota Hilux Double Cab 2.2 with very high mileage of 450,000. On pictures it looks good and apparently he is the second owner. But I have learned that looks can sometimes be deceiving. A...

Help viewing lux in Durbanville.

Hi Gents

Is there perhaps someone that will be so kind as to view a Hilux for me in Cape Town Durbanville?

I am based up here in Gauteng and in need of someone that knows the pro's and con's of what to look for in second hand older 1991 Hilux 2.2.

Assistance will greatly be appreciated.

Regards

Re: Luxi is getting the Lexus 1UZ VVTi

Mark sorted out my (ex) 80 Series Cruiser with a 1uz-fe conversion. I have no doubt that he will be able to sort this out. A word of advice, be very patient as this do take time.

Re: The Search Begins

I have driven the FJ for a whole day on a launch with the cruiserclub. That thing is a beast is truly capable. Pity about the price tag though, otherwise I would have one in my driveway. Please let me know if your is in market.

Do I rather look for an early 90 model with 2.2l or 2.4 ?

Re: Lexus 4L V8 Spark Plug Leads

Thank you Jonathan , the lead you supplied me (for free nogal, don't get people like this anymore) is 100% and identical to the faulty lead I have.

You are a star, if my Cruiser conversion is complete I will have to to take you for a spin.
