Good day all

I'm Delport from Thabazimbi. I'm new to the forum and a new Hilux owner.

I recently sold my VW Polo and decided to get the bakkie that I've always wanted, so I bought myself a 1997 2.4 D/C Hilux Raider. She is in great condition, recently had the engine overhauled, has a new Old Man Emu suspension, a winch, spotlights, hunting frame and a canopy. Since I got it I added a canvas canopy to the hunting frame and added canvas dashboard cover with pockets, hopefully next is a rooftop tent and a more modern radio and at a later stage I'll also ad a snorkel.

My hobbies include anything outdoor related, I'm a big reptile enthusiast and always on the search for snakes and other reptiles, I'm a freelance photographer and a full time helicopter pilot.

I'm looking forward to learn more about my hilux and 4x4ing from all the knowledgeable people on this forum.
