Re: Howzit from P.E
Thank you for the warm welcome!
I bought the 2005 Legend 35, last year, have always had a toyota so the chances of buying something else was slim! A good friend has had about 5 Hilux bakkies over the past few years and I've been very impressed with their look, performance and reliability!, so I managed to get my hands on a very well looked after Legend. I have done the vacuum "mod", an stainless steel De Graaf exhaust system, with 3 silencers(so that it does not sound like an stock car!), semi induction and "not working yet" fuel tuner! Future plans: To install an old man emu package, and one of those awesome fridges for "refreshments"!
Hope to have many a good time on this forum!

Re: Howzit from P.E
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!
