Belated "Hello"!
Hello!
I have been a member since Feb 2012 but have not had the time to introduce myself, or should I say, my baby!
This is the first Hilux that I have ever owned and most definitely not the last! I bought her in November 2011 and have never looked back! When I first saw her, she had just been "run-in" with 223 000km on the clock, and it was love at first sight!
Although she is a tad bit heavy on fuel (don't have an accurate consumption figure as yet), and she has had the CV's, tie rod ends and other steering parts, right rear wheel bearing, wiper motor and water pump replaced, I know she is good for another 250 000km, at least! She came complete with her canopy, a long range fuel tank, Uni-Chip, spots, new shocks and BFG A/T x4, service history and spare key!
I have many plans for the 2 of us and I am sure we will have great adventures together!
Take care!

Hello and welcome Stuart!
Nice 2.7 you have there!
Nice 2.7 you have there!
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!
