So here's my Hilux MK5 and DIY chip box.

Thanks dude!

Will be looking at doing the same shortly. I guess doesn't tip? How long to shovel full load of chip out?

[Gardenscape]

With a fork takes 5 mins. For that size chipbox it doesn't make sense spending the money to convert it. I've got used to forking it out by now. If and when she retires, I just undo the 4 bolts and take the whole box off in one. Simple as that.

Fair play she looks ace! Would like a hilux but it's all money, think I need to up my game with my mk1 ranger, a respray for starters! ?

5 mins is pretty acceptable.

Just got a hilux mk3 DC! Collecting sat.

Did you get the one with the winch and bits on bill??
I got an advisory last mot over front wheels and that was without spacers and already moving the rear arches.. neither prop shafts or wheel bearings seem to like chunky tyres though.

Nah, need a reasonable amount of welding in chassis and tub was a scrapper.... a double can mk3 came up with only 65k on clock ( full mot history). Still got the factory chassis stickers on!

Looking for winch bumper and some knobblies the now.

The mk3’s are awesome trucks, so simple, super tough and reliable yet cruises at 80
