Welcome here Eric! :thumbup:

Yes the Lexus is a popular motor coversion ..... powerful, light-weight, reliable, fuel economic and relatively cheap to source. ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.

And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

You can remove the TOYOTA badge, but it's still a TOYOTA.
Looks good!
Are you going to dyno tune it? I would like to see the results.

Wat 'n fees het my jeep terug. Mark het 'n GREAT job gedoen. Tot goed gedoen wat nie eers verwag was nie. Op die oomblik net 2wd Mark sal in Januarie die voorste prop uitsort die jeeps het maar swak voor props. Kan nie wag om te gaan speel nie. Als werk net nie die cruise controll nie maar dit pla nie te veel nie hy ry lekkerder met die regter voet :twisted: . Sal fotos opsit maar nou eers vakansie. Ps petrol verbruik lyk ok nie te bad nie sal laat weet as ek vol gemaak het en pics ook laai maar dit moet wag tot na my vakansie.

Tans is die verbruik so 5 km per liter maar dis met 'n swaar voet. Sal later in die maad terug vat as Mark die prop reg het sover meer as 1000 km gery prebleem vry net die aircon werk nie maar sal dit uitsort. Sal fotos opsit moet net die kabel onthou
