Here we discuss Hiluxes in general. Your view of the Hilux. For other general discussions please see "open Discussions" under the "Around the Campfire" heading.
Ek en Gerrie het die naweek bietjie Welgelegen4x4 toe gegaan om die roete te recce vir 4x4 events wat ons daar wil aanbied. Ek het met die Hilux gery, en Gerrie met sy Disco. Op my voorruit het ek die GPS Logger Dash-cam move wat ek by Oom Eric gekoop het, gehad, en toe ek by die huis kom toe bou ek die videotjie...
Like the music, like the footer info provided (time, speed etc.), nice effects / transitions. Typical farm road with some nice inclines / descents - would be a lot more interesting in the wet (you forgot to load a couple of sandbags in the back Thys).
Lekker family outing trail.
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!
On this day of the investigastion Andy, I had 150 pieces of rooikrans, 3 braai grids, 2 coolerboxes full of meat and ice, and a 40l Engel vol vloeibare verversings on board.. I think that is ample to weigh the Hilux down..
I am the only guy I know who does a 4x4 trail.. backwards.. with 150 pieces of rooikrans in the back..

I once met a couple (2 gentlemen)at the top of Klein Helderberg Trail with 8 boxes of red wine in the back of their very old Range Rover. This is the same couple that made a 3 point turn halfway up the last steep obstacle and drove down without rolling the landy or breaking any bottles.
Wine trumps Rooikrans.
MUD........GLORIOUS MUD!!!!!
Your friendlyVWsalesperson......(with a passion for SFA Hiluxes)
I would like to make a suggestion / request.
Rather than music could you make vids where you hear the engine, and vehicle sound (wheel slipping, bottom out, scrapes etc.)
I think that would be much more informative.
Just my 2c worth.

You sure that wasn't 'Broke-back Mouintain' trail?

The camera wasmounted on the inside of the windscreen, so there wasnt too much engine noises... I didnt scrape the Hilux once so you dont miss anything there. Add to that crappy RSG music, and quite a bit of "adult" language would have made the video unsuitable for anybody under 52... Believe me.. the music is the better option..
