Re: Black Betty
I am the lucky guy that just bought her. 2.7VVTi with Eaton Supercharger and Unichip. Raised body with TJM suspension and air jackers at the back. Body lift kit and front and rear bumpers from TJM as well. Came from a guy in Middleburg who was pedantic about her, and she only has 75000km on the clock. Dual battery with deep cycle in the locker which also has a 1000W inverter for good measure!! Damn but she is nice and I am looking forward to a bit of offroad time with her. Used her to tow my Acecat 501 this weeken to Richards Bay and back. Boat weighs about 1600kg empty and we never had one hassle the whole trip.

Re: Black Betty
Hi and welcome Chris! Great looking vehicle you have there .... "Black Beauty" would certainly have been more appropriate!

Very nice. I have a few questions. It looks like you have A-Line's Rims (Grip) on your Lux. Are they 15" or 16" and what size tyres are on (is it perhaps 31X10.5X15).
Can you also perhaps put a photo on from the back. I would like to see how "wide" the wheels are.
Thanks

Re: Black Betty
That is a lot of extras on that lux. The guy you bought it from must have lost quite a bit and you gained a whole lot more. Very nice and welcome.
