At last, my very first Hilux 4x4
After a lot of negotiation and making plans I managed to get my hand on this 1997 Hilux 2.4 D/C. Unfortunately I had to let go of my "Mossel Bakkie" (I will miss you...... ). I guess it is time to make some new memories then.
Here you go.
Here you go.

Re: At last, my very first Hilux 4x4
Thanks Guys,
I am going to use it for overlanding\camping. Still a lot to be done on it in that regard, but for time being the camping trailer will be hooked on.

Re: At last, my very first Hilux 4x4
Enjoy!!
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!
