What year HiLux do I want?
Folks,
I am considering changing from my 75series ute to a dual cab HiLux (bub on the way, need more seats) See this post in the 'yota section for more detail http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=94496
I am very keen to acquire a solid axle Lux, and figured this means I need a pre '97 model.
Alternatively, I have gotten to wondering what the likely cost of SASing a later model Lux would be, that is, a post '97 model.
Any one have any idea, or advice the Lux acquisition idea in general?
Cheers,
Chris

A lot of people do say an 80 is the way to go, and I do like my 75 so am tempted to get another 'Cruiser. However, I have two main problems with the idea of an 80. i) There is not ute option (I am not keen on towing) and ii) I am quite reluctant to have a 3 tonne vehicle for an only vehicle. I see no need to push this much weight around all the time, when I suspect a Luxy would do the job, and have a tray :-) 80's have a lot of expensive panels to damage in the bush......Guts wrote:You`ll be better off getting an 80 series. You`ll only be wishing you did in a few years anyway. I have one of each and would get rid of my hilux if it didn`t have so much time and money in it.
Also, TD 80's have gotten very expensive lately.........
PS What don't you like about your Lux?
Do you mean a chopped/uted 80?cleanskin wrote:have you considered a dual cab 80 series? secondhand... im sure you can get one within your budget.
Woulde be interesting I guess, although I haven't seen any.
I understand it costs about $7000 to chop an 80(so I'm told...)
Still a big heavy lump with lots of exxy panels to damage.
I would put a flat tray on Lux. In my current ute, I have whacked lots of trees and rocks with the tray, and it doesn't mind. Were there panels there instead (ala 80s) I think it could get pricey quickly.............
I am struggling to find TD 80's for less than 20K lately too...... 20K + mods is too much wedge for my pocket
