Hi and welcome,

However slow the process may be I see a nation that is coming to it's senses, it takes some longer than others. Hope you enjoy the ride as we "Lead the way!"

Warm wishes,

[Dadz Toy BFI]

Congratulations Clayton, she's a beaut

You're right twas worth the wait.

Welkom to the World of True Lux Ownership (SFA with Intended Engine) :razz:

Enjoy the ride

[ismail]

[ismail]

[Dadz Toy BFI]

Well spotted Ismail

Seen that before, think it's a Brackenfell thing

Wori nee it's fine...... apparantly...

(unless you take it off road) :wth:

[ThysdJ]

just a question tho I see in the bak there are no wheel arches??

Yes, they can be removed, giving you more "bak" space.

[DustySFA]

First thing i also asked...previous owner only reported some light touching when towing trailor and going over some serious terrain...without the trailor, nothing...

i dont intend doing any towing apart from helping the guys out at De wildt from the 4x4 community site in May! :)

[Hi-Hilux]

Welcome to SFA, lead the way and enjoy

[Borntofish]

Very nice! Just one thing? Why does it have a gearlock In?

Hoppy ran his Rattle&Humm Hilux with 35" tyres without it ever touching. I also know of people who use the space underneath the arches to put water tanks.

[DustySFA]

The gearlock is there to tell my Tuff Stuff broker that i have one so i can save R13 a month on my premium...

it has a full level 4 alarm/immobiliser central locking system too...

heavily secured...

[Mud Dog]

Very Nice! ... Congrats and you have every reason to be proud!!

Now you have to take the next step and become a "Proud Member" of the club!

This will also prove to be an issue if you decide to fit a rollbar... but can be overcome!

Mr B

[Borntofish]

Just wondered if you should not put a gearlock on the the tranfer case lever to, Nasty little N floating in the middle of that knob!

Oh for sure Rich, except that it's a bit dirty right now and needs a wash, so it's not exactly presentable. There's a bit of old age and battle scars showing too, so it can't hold it's head as high as it used to, but ..... with a bit of TLC, spit & polish and rust treatment, Mud Dog can hold her head up with pride again!

You guys make me so proud!!!

[DustySFA]

What a beautiful sight...

I took this picture just outside of Worcester on my long drive back from CT to PTA.

[mushroom]

Welcome aboard dude, theres something special about white Hilux's...

[chopper]

So special that "Doelloos" Ewald has now become "spraakloos"?

Clayton, that is a stunning stretch of road, especially at sunrise & sunset.

And your ride.......... looks really good!

How was the drive back? probably left the radio OFF and just listened to that 2.4 purr all the way home.

[DustySFA]

Drive back was long...but i enjoyed it thouroughly!

that engine has a special sound to it. nothign nicer than to park at an engen 1 stop and get more stares than the BMW X6 next to you... :)

[Hi-Hilux]

Looking good!

[Mud Dog]

Yep, It's looking really, really neat! Getting more stares than the X6, hey? .... they were probably thinking "Daai mooi ou Hilux sal seker die BM se gat kan skop".

[OOOOMS]

they were probably thinking "Daai mooi ou Hilux sal seker die BM se gat kan skop".

Not thinking........they know

Very nice looking van

[DustySFA]

shot guys,

just had her dyno tuned at Dyno Logic and Schalk worked his magic, 14% kw increase which is noticable!

the choices he offered was km/l or hp/uphill...i chose a combination...

the first reading at 3000rpm was 49.6, when i left it was over 56...at 3000rpm.

and i must add that those hankooks are amazing tyres...
