Hi, My name is Lisa, I am the proud owner of a 1997 Toyota Hilux 2.4 4x4 d/c. I purchased her 4 years ago and did a complete make over. I have attached pictures of the results.

When I got her she was green in colour and looked like she came from a golf driving range with all the dents. So first thing was to change the colour. i then fitted new mags, new tyres, winch, snorkel and, fitted a branch. the engine is still original, I have not done much modifications to her except cosmetic.
The amarok in the background belongs to my hubby. i have only driven toyotas and will only drive a Toyota.
I will post more pictures soon.
Thanks for all the compliments.

Welcome Lisa!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Awesome looking SFA you have there ..... really neat!! :drool: The front integrated bumper belongs to the LTD series, but not the side steps / rocksliders. Can't really see the rear bumper properly but the LTD series rear bumper was also unique .... could be that you have a LTD there or a LTD bumper was fitted somewhere along the line. If the upholstery is still original and it's a LTD, the LTD logo is in the pattern of the seat and the door panel fabrics as well as being embossed in the leather of the head-rests. ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

dont worry, I already had a hit on my van. They used an old worn hilux key to get into my van, but lucky I had the gearlock on. I have now changed the locks on the doors.
