Hilux 4x4 Forum

Middag all you fellow awesome Hilux'ers. Found this site from another forum (Hilux Pickup Oners Club - HPOC) in the UK, where I live. After driving an uninspiring car for many years, I finally pulled the pin and bought a South African built 2.5 HL2 doublecab last year this time. What a fantastic bakkie is all I can say. I have not looked back! It's like taking the red pill in the Matrix!
I have not done overly much to it mods wise, but I have had it professionally rust treated underneath (the UK has salt spread on the roads in winter to stop ice forming), I put in a plastic under rail load liner and installed a discreet dash cam. I'm going to be putting on some Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx tyres on later this month and I'm probably going to take out the plastic load liner and line the bak with Protecta Kote rubberized paint as the humidity here causes rust quick.
Thanks for letting me be part of this awesome community and I hope to contribute and find out some of the South African Hilux scene.

Welcome Ruari. Hope you enjoy it here

Thanks guys,

Here is the Ratel, complete with 2 Land Rover 'kill markings' on the front door.

Hi there Ruari, welcome to the forum. What caliber gun did you use to kill those Landi.

Thanks Koos, you know Landy's, you don't have to shoot them, just look at them with a Hilux and they drop their oil pan!

Thanks William, I will post pics, going to get some new tyres in a week, Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx, so I'll find the right place and put up some pics.
I like your signature by the way.

Yeah Ruari, where did you get that Landi kill markings. I need more than 250 of them for my killings of Landi over the years.

Hei Koos, I had a friend make them up, he's got a vinyl sticker cutter. I gave him the picture which I made and he made the sticker.
PM me if you want the picture template.

Welcome aboard, Ruari!!

Howzit and welcome to the forum

My maggies, we are living on the same island! Sidcup, Kent is where I live now. We might go and kick some rubber in July when the new shape reaches our shores.

Hello and wecome, epic stickers!

I would love to have those stickers just to tick off my friend who drives a Range Rover. I also seen some stickers which you place next to your tow bar that reads. Attach Land Rover here. Hehehehehe.

Thanks guys, there are a lot of good tongue in cheek stickers on eBay, I'm not sure how easy they are to get in SA though.
