My first own Hilux

Post by hatvani »

Recently purchased this Hilux from UK since I'm moving from DR Congo to Tanzania and needed a RHD vehicle. This said I'm also converting from a Pajero to Hilux.

2002 Hilux 2.5TD
4" Procomp lift w/ heavy duty rear springs fitted
32" BFG tires
Hannibal rack
Alu lining in truck bed

The fun should begin with adding battery management system (have a 50l ARB fridge), swing tire carrier in the back and some storage system in the load box.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

One good looking truck. Which company did you use to export your truck out of the UK?
