Hi Everyone,

I initially bought this 1987 Hilux 2.2 4Y truck in Cape Town intending on travelling back to the UK unfortunately I have to cut the trip early and will be selling the truck in Kenya/Tanzania. This truck is in really great shape and boasts the Solid Front Axle which seems to pull through anything! (I still have yet to get stuck). I think the most important thing to consider is that everything is included you can turn up stock the truck with fuel, water and food and be on the road the next day.

Anyways I'm posting some specs below and will give some links to photos. Contact me at " contact @ nickyu.com " (remove the spaces)
