Just got my 4x4 hilux scab 1999 model after owing one in SA 10 years ago. Prices here are very high for these vehicles as they seems to be on high demand specially in the farming community. A typical average condition 3L 5L diesel is going for about 12 to 17 NZD which when converting it to Rand is about 140 000 rand. Should have shipped my previous hilux across to NZ and would have saved a lot. Spare part are still much available as Australia also have many of these old vehicles and we have a trademe.co.nz website where all old stuff are sold. Anyway it was good to see that the SA hilux forum seems to be the most active in the world. Merry Christmas and happy new year.Hi there from New Zealand

Re: Hi there from New Zealand
Best wishes to you and yours, Ian .... and congrats on the scab - or is it s/cab. 
.... and congrats on the scab - or is it s/cab. 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!
