hi everybody
ive been reading this forum quite some time ago but now when i have hilux i became regular reader and found lot of infos about good old 2Ls and 2LT
i will post some photos in future when i will be painting the frame and some other touch ups, first thing i did was front axle seals, serpetine belts and i turned the fuel screw in a little bit, in the future i wll be probably swapping the engine for something more powerful - maybe 1KZ, OM605 or 1,9 tdi with mechanicall rotary pump, im not planning on running turbo on this engine even tho it only has 180 000 kms, i like it so far and it feels even more powerfull than V6 1990 4runner we had before
as for now im using the truck as my daily driver and for commuting to university once a week with average mileage being around 8,5-9,5L/100km (25 - 28 MPG), i think it will get even lower in the summer since its winter here and im using 4wd quite often and sometimes (i am just too lazy to unlock my hubs) and hauling stuff on the trailer behind, the worst mileage was around 12L/100 if i remeber correctly but that was lot of trailer towing, 4wd 4low and on forest roads so,
On photos it looks pretty mint but after closer look the paint is far from perfect, the bed and canopy colors dont match but i dont mind these kind of thing because if i accidentally scratch it in forest/woods or someting it would not hurt me so much
