Importing a Pair of Toyota Hilux Models

And that’s just the first Hilux.

“The next truck is a 1991 LN106. I flew down to Tasmania and bought this ‘ute as it was a very nice truck and was begging to be brought back to the USA. 3L diesel, G52 5 speed, A/C, P/S, P/B, 4.30 gears with limited slip in the rear. Aluminum front bumper, Kenwood stereo and CD changer, bed liner, and 31×10.5×15 BFG All-Terrain tires. It was a grandpa truck and it shows. It has 370K kilometers on it.”

However, it was only a matter of days before the OP sold the red double cab. Which was admittedly pretty bittersweet. But he still has the white ‘ute, which by now was being enjoyed fully.

“Went out for a trail ride today. We headed up Skyline Rd to Ollalie Lake in the Cascade Mountains. It was a little cloudy but we had a great time!!!”
