Hilux Hilife here
Howzit all you freindly Toyota people I've only recently bought my first toyota but before I did I spent some time lurking on this site for more information on the hilux and I eventully went for a 95 SFA 2.4 with omu suspension. I've since spent some money on sorting the vehicle out by recon the brakes, new front seats, dyno tune and a cam from SAC.
It had branches and a Brospeed exhaust otherwise it is quite standard. I'm busy with some general mods like: RTT, Water and extra fuel tank, Roof rack and draw system. and I would appreciate any good advice on these items.
Oh my name is Mike and I live in East rand and apart from my hilux I also own a number of bikes and a T4 Syncro kombi
cheers for now :)

Hi Mike, and welcome here!
Just remember to resize your pics to either 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, and limit their size to around 100kb. Most of us use irfanview for that, but here is another program to play around with too: http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm

Re: Hilux Hilife here
Gents I must appologise for the lack of pictures but I have been trying to upload pics and floowing the instructions by bushwakker and it just won;t work - my pics are JPEG and less than 100Kb. When I try to load them it times out.
I would like nothing more than to put pics of the drive along the escarpment a few weeks ago. I know a little known route along the Free state KZN border with spectacular views of Natal.

Mike,
If you are using Vista I know that there is problems with the uploading of pictures. Maybe ask Cassie to assist you with the upload of it.

Mike, try loading them onto http://www.photobucket.com and then select the "image" url and then post that here. The pictures look great, but a tad small for tired old eyes like mine ;)

Re: Hilux Hilife here
hi Gents
Ek sal in engles antwoord want my Afrikaans taal is erg and my spelling is bollie.
Thanks for the tip Family bulldog I'll give the Photobucket a try.
The area where these pictures were taken is on the edge of the escaarpment near Memel in the Free state overlooking Newcastle and Chelmsford dam, pity the day was cloudy because the view is spectacular. I inherited a small cotage in memel and as a family we go often, Vir 'n ou soutie like me it is one of my favorite areas in the country. We often go down there to ride motorbikes in the area, that way I've got to know the area reasonably well. With the addition of this marvelous bakkie I've added a second string to my bow which give my wife the opportunity to get out more.
In the future I will arrange a weekend trip in the area for the forum okes that are interested.
The rear bumber was home made by the previous owner, he said that he coppied what he liked from the many of those bumbers that are available on the market. He also extended the chassis to the end of the Bak to give it more support as I understand that this is a common weak point with the hilux.
