I finaly own my very first Hilux
Hi guys. Here is my first Hilux that i own now. It had a tough life on my fathers farm in Barberton, but im fixing it up nicely now. I must admit that i am very amazed at how nicely it drives after 303000km of farm roads, and tar roads. Sorry the pic did not load but here it is. It is a 2700i 4x2.

Re: I finaly own my very first Hilux
Looks like it's in pretty good nick .... doesn't look like you'll have to do too much to her!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: I finaly own my very first Hilux
Thanks guys. I have to replace the complete front suspension including steering, and i removed the propshaft today and i will send it in on Monday for an overhaul. I'm getting all the parts for the suspension on Monday, so then it's going to be some long hours under the chasis. I love working on cars so i'm looking forward to repairing it.
