Looks like I ended having a share in a cruiser located in South Africa.
It’s an 80 series GX with the 4500cc carb petrol engine so a bit of a thirsty beast.
I found the truck, my other friend arranged collection and the 3rd member of the group has been putting some hours into fixing it up.
The intention is to do a 6000 mike trip through 7 southern african countries. Along the way we will be stopping off at schools and distributing shoes for children who can’t afford them. Will also try and through in a couple of foot balls.
We bought the truck on a bit of a gamble with the intention of putting some work into it. It’s been a journey so far with us using the knowledge found on forms like this one and putting eveything together. But it’s coming along.
We also have a massive advantage in that a friend works for an engineering shop in Cape Town and has been designing a new rear bumper with swing out arms. Ok so we need to still fabricate the end product but think it’s coming along nicely.
Spec of the cruiser:
1992 GX 4500 petrol
EFS suspension
Front runner roof rack
Front bullbar
12k winch (still to be installed)
60 litre aux tank
Packing system
New rear carrier
