New ride

[Rich Sims]

Well after 5 weeks of negotiations I finally picked up my new toy, Its a HZJ76 LUX with factory lockers, air con. It was imported by Nene back in January and then fitted with the list below but then the owner found that he couldn't take it with him to brazil, so its been sitting round since then apart from going to a few shows and with 900 miles on the clock I felt sorry for it and thought I'd give it a new home for christmas.

Safari performance intercooler, turbo, exhaust, boost compensator on injection pump
Exhaust temperature gauge

AFN bumper and Warn Zeon 10s winch
Genuine Toyota wheels and BFG tyres

You'll have to wipe you're feet before getting in!

It's beautiful....

Looks awesome Rich, good on ya.

I didn't even realise they still made them with the 4.2 engine, in many ways thats a much better engine than the new 4.5 V8, which is what all the new 70's down here get.

The only thing I would change would be the 2 piece factory snorkel as there not water tight! Fit a Safari snorkel and you know its 100% water & dust proof.
