Andrew's Hilux

Post by Andrew »

Hi Hilux fans, I am Andrew,25, and from Joburg. I have managed to get my hands on a 2004 Kzte 2X4 with only 72000kms on the clock. I bought her in October 2007 and she is in fantastic nik. Everything seems to be stock standard, thus, no extra fancy mods yet… I must add that it is the most fantastic vehicle that I have ever been in. Went to Hennops last weekend for a bit of a ‘grand challenge’ with my mate and his Nivara ….and my dad and his Land Cruiser for recovery assistance.

Andrew,

A mate of mine was in the same predicament, his conversion is as follows:

1. Sold it :shock:
2. Bought 88 SFA 8)
3. Spent the difference on COOL TOYS :lol:
4. Never, ever looked back :!: :!:

Hope the same Conversion can work for you too :!: :lol:

Cheers Man :wink:

Thanks Guys, but I have only had her for four months and just got to the 80000km mark now, so I am going to hang on to the bakkie for a good while.... worst case senario, I still have the oldman's LC if I get stuck..... :lol:
