4x4’s & Overlanding

[Lukenstein]

My beloved Toyota Hilux
500K kms
The gearbox blew on the way home from work last night and I proceeded to drive 52 kms through the city and the country to get home with only second and fifth gear!

@Lukenstein good bus them. Gunna get a new gearbox or time to retire? Still plenty to go with 500k from a D4D

[Lukenstein]

@Rustygate37 I'm in two minds, i have a 79 but this hilux and me have been through a lot together

[Rustygate37]

@Lukenstein yeah it is hard, I had a 80 series that I loved that much that I just kept throwing money at it. It was a beast
Eventually though I bought a 76 series
Always wanted a 79

Not in the same league as you guys, but it's 4x4 with Hi/Lo, so technically allowed here?

Ordered from Japan yesterday.......

Hmmmmmm….

[focer]

@Giles which make and model is this? i’m interested in one myself.

[Giles]

Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo Extra....

That is the extended cab version with 4WD, Hi/Lo and 5 Speed Manual......

Plenty of pimping options available in Japan, and plenty on Rakuten, so I think I may be getting regular care packages sent over.....

Something along these lines, perhaps?

[Giles]

I think in Japan I may get away with it, Gos Vegas, not so sure.....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles too subtle?

[Giles]

Of course......
