Hi Pieter, welcome to the site. At least you would be able to see at night with all those spots. Nice looking vehicle. The articulation is good, did you modify the suspension?
Regards
Pieter

Those spots helped a lot with night 4x4ing, was not planned, the owner asked me to help with the transport of a water tank to the top of the mountain, there is a hut ontop, on the way down it was dark. The round trip took longer than what we expected. Driving at night on a mountain trail is a whole different experience!!

The suspension was modified by the previous owner, lift, slightly longer shackles and longer shocks.

The first picture is at Mont Eco and the second picture is in the playing area at Die Watervalle, near Porterville

At least we have something in common, your Hilux is my Hilux's little brother, these single cab 4x4 Hilux's are awesome to drive, the wheel base is the same as the double cab, my single cab is a 1992 model, what engine do you have under the bonnet.

Hi Simon

It has the 2.2 4y motor in.

Only problem I have with the S/C is that mine does not have power steering!! I have looked a few times as Power Steering boxes but they are so warn out that they are no good, and they charge you a arm and a leg to recon a steering box!
