My New Bakkie

So after years of driving SFA hiluxes, I did the unthinkable and bought a newer model. I'm still reeling from that decision and time will tell if it was a good one. One of the main factors that did the deal for me was the fuel economy issue, no matter how I tried I could never significantly remedy that problem and secondly maintenance costs. I was spending almost the same on repayments
So here we are.
Out with the old
In with the new

Congrats! Looks pretty good Luke.
Somebody has already spent a few bucks on extras with the vehicle .... integrated bumper, winch, sliders, alu-canopy, fender flares, tinted windows and wind deflectors.
Mileage? FSH? Accident free? (the front bumper is not fitting nicely against the fender, but that could just be poor fitment).
Enjoy it!

Congratulations. It is a great looking bakkie and you won't be disappointed. Here's wishing you many happy miles in your new trokkie. It is a huge jump from a SFA to your new one. Your new one is overall a very balanced package. I enjoyed mine immensely and I know you will too.

Thanks a mill. The vehicle has 176000km on the clock with no accident history and FSH with Toyota. The bumper is an LA Sport bumper and by design it has those gaps, I know you can buy covers for the gaps but I actually kinda like the look. Overall the vehicle is pretty dam sweet. And the best thing is that I am getting a proper 10km/l and sometimes more with those 32 muddies.

That's awesome and that mileage is not bad either! Nice buy!
I was a bit concerned that the gap was too prominent, but if you say that's normal then it's all good.

Hey Luke, I know how it goes and eventually that is also why I also sold my Hilux and bought a Cruiser (Ok not to save fuel though) Your new vehicle looks great.
