1987 Hilux 4y (2.2) South African Spec

[Black94Prado]

After selling our beloved and trust kzj78 in South America, we had to get back into an old Toyota. We flew down to Johannesburg, crawled around on Facebook Marketplace, and found a 1987 Double Cab white Hilux for the equivalent of $3700 (well, that's what we bargained down to haha). So far we've put on about 3000km's (~2000 miles), through Lesotho and working down the coast of South Africa, then to Namibia and Botswana.

We make videos about our travels so I'll put it here in the post if anyone's curious.

My son is working on a South African hJ45 build. Reminded me of you all. Previous owner drove it from South Africa to Switzerland, then all over the US. It has Lesotho plates.
