Toyota ldv 1976 4.2 petrol bought new ...Did the Roof of Africa as a sweep vehicle that year
Toyota Hilux
International V8
Toyota landcruiser 3.8 diesel LDV......threw the lazy SOB motor out and fitted a 350 Chev V8

I have done quite a bit of 4x4 ing over the years. Worked in the middle east for 5 years and there the Patrol is king and thats where I decided the Patrol would be my last vehicle.
