project is coming to fruition after 5 years

[wicklamulla]

i would only be running an old hilux (even older than my mk4) if it was sporting a v8.

 

my 2.4td is sooooooooooo slow cant Imagen driving one of the old non turbo units!!!

 

Mark i was running an old M reg non turbo Lux a few years ago and it was painfully slow but ya got used to it. Fine as long as ya stayed off of A roads and motorways!

That looks really smart, the lads would get no where near it if it was mine! It would be for quoting and log deliveries by me only!

 

It can't be any slower than my 100hp crew cab transit towing the tr6 and full of chip!

Nice! More pics please!

 

My old mk3 was powerful enough on the flat, happily sit at 80, happily tow a tw150 but really noticed the gbm chipper at over a ton and didn't like hills

 

 

no offense but whats the advantage of spending alot of money on older vechicle, other than less technology

 

Those hilux's are renowned for reliability, now hoofguy has a "new" super reliable, simple and suprisingly comfortable truck which will last many many years.

nice truck like the sliding window looks good

Now that's a project to be proud of and worth the long wait by the looks of things. Good work

Can't understand why all these hiluxs seem so slow, my n reg would do 90+ and cruise at 80, my mates j reg would as well.

But now my mate has a t reg 2.4 turbo and it barely does 70!

 

I love the truck in the start of this thread, would love a mark 3 or 4 single cab flatbed or tipper for log deliveries and general running about.

I wish I had put mine into storage rather than selling it to a breakers, if I had known then what I know now.....
