Hi All. As you can see my name is Ryan . I am a technical support rep for a company called Bell equipment. We manufacture , sell and support a range of earthmoving machines. our most popular is a 6x6 dump truck called a ADT. Imagine that as a off-roader. I spent my first 22 years in C.t and then moved to Richards bay for 5 years. I travelled nationally and internationally for the 5 years i was there . I am now back in C.t. I have always driven bakkies but mostly useless 2x4's. then my company started giving me Ford Ranger's 2x4's with a diff-loc. this is resonable capable off-road. When i moved to C.t my company gave me one of my own . i took it with a friend to Melkbos 4x4 and i was hooked on off-roading. to my delight about 2 weeks later a single cab hilux SFA pulls up at work, fresh from a contract on the west coast where it had been replaced by a IFS hilux. I worked late that day and on my way home i saw it in the parking lot , I phoned my manager from the parking lot and told him i wanted it , well now i have paid for it and it is all mine , as you can expect it has a bit of rust.
I am married to my wife Bonnie and have a 7 month old daughter named Hannah. We live in Kensington in Cape town.

Hi Ryan
Welcome to the site!
I know what you mean with an ADT being an off roader. I have driven one, a Bell, wasn't the operator, but worked for an earthworks company.
Show us a few pic's of the SFA
