What has the Hilux Club/forum meant to me and how has it impacted my life (if at all)?
Well it's quite simple really. I bought my first SFA 5 years ago. At the time I wasn't aware of this forum and happened to stumble across it one day when surfing the net.
As a result of many of the topics discussed here I have become aware of a whole world that I knew existed but never really considered!
Thanks to this forum I have undertaken some significant firsts like my first official 4x4 trail, overhauling an engine myself (considering my serious lack of mechanical talents

All of which I would never have attempted had it not been for the info provided and example set by many members here.
Might not sound very impressive to most of you but considering that I never used to believe in "sukkeling" with a vehicle - if it had niggles I sold it and bought another! So this has been a huge change in mindset - SFA's are rarely niggle free

Anyhow, eventually I officially joined the club. I guess just doing the effort of registering and paying over the (measly) R100 membership fee had been too much trouble before.
But I realised that I had gained a lot of info from this forum, which probably would not have existed had it not been for the club, and that for the forum to continue and serve others as it had served me - the right thing would be to do the effort and pay the 100 bucks.
After all, this goes towards running costs and keeping the forum available to all.
So I challenge you to consider what you have gained from this forum and to post it here.
It would be interesting to see what the result is and probably the best thank-you to those who started it all.
