This project will show the build of both 76 and 79 series.

Brief Explanation:
It has been a long journey and short at the same. It has been a dream to build not due to reliability because of its off-road capabilities. Toyota is dominant in our market so the car choice was between 76 series and Hilux 2.8 diesel. The main reason I choose the 76 is due to Toyota option of differential lock F+R. We sourced the cars from 🇦🇪 UAE to 🇬🇭 Ghana. Due to local mechanics in Ghana being 👎 horrible and accessories are veryyy limited, I had already dealt with a local off-road shop (TORC) before so they were the best choice to modify before shipping. To be quite honest, they exceeded my expectation. Car went straight from dealer to them. Although I had a heavy bill to pay but I could never do locally or source the items.

For the 79 series however, it is straight from dealer with XTREME specifications.

One last thing however, you pay for what you get. Using good products is priority!

Yes but I can’t stand white letters out on tires, very 1990’s.

Awesome builds by the way and Cruisers!

Cheers

Thanks mate! :cheers:
 
nice builds ..

1. why you didn't keep the factory winch .?

2. 285 on the 76 .?

1. I didnt plan for a new winch but due to factory winch comes wider which doesnt fit on bullbar. I'll most likely use it on the 79.
2. My mistake
