Hi folks,
Been a lurker for years and appreciate the insight I've received on this forum. I thought I'd post my Hilux to see if there's any interest. Not quite an expedition build, but ready for one nonetheless. Below is taken from my ebay ad.
I've got a beautiful 1992 Toyota Hilux Surf that was imported from Japan in August 2017. Power comes from a turbocharged and intercooled 2.4L diesel four-cylinder mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. I have added added approximately 2,500 miles over a 15-month ownership, during which maintenance has included a new updated head, head gasket, replacement of the water pump, clutch master and slave cylinders, and tires. This Hilux shows 35k kilometers (~21k miles) original miles. It was previously owned by an elderly gentleman, hence the low miles.
I feel that the truck is priced well for a very low mileage, super clean, well maintained unit that is turnkey with desirable options not limited to
- 5 spd manual
- Turbo diesel
- 4WD
- RHD (well at least for me)
- Swing out rear tire carrier
- Fender flares
- Running board delete
I get approx ~24-27 MPG in mixed driving.
VIN # LN1307002826
MECHANICAL:
The truck has benefited from a new updated second generation head and complete Gasket kit. This represents a huge improvement over the old heads, which had known issues, and makes it virtually bulletproof. This was recently done and cost approximately $2500.
- 21k original miles.
- It has a newer timing belt and water pump. Fresh oil change
- In the past year, it received new clutch slave and master cylinders.
- No oil leaks
- The AC is cold; heat works. Had an AC switch rebuild.
- 2 new batteries, oil change,
- New muffler and tail pipe.
- New wipers
- It enjoys cruising at 65 MPH, which is the sweet spot for these older trucks.
EXTERIOR:
The beautiful Black paint is accented by polished chrome bumpers, mirrors, and door handle trim. The roof and hood were professionally repainted to correct sun fading.
- NO RUST
- No accidents
- New 265/70 Yokohama Geolander tires.
- A front bumper guard will be included separately.
- Swing out rear tire carrier.
- There are some small scratches here and there commensurate with its age and originality.
INTERIOR:
Extremely well preserved gray cloth interior.
- Cloth seats in great shape. No rips or tears. No sagging of the seats.
- Original Headliner is in excellent shape. Original carpets in good shape.
- Power windows and door locks work fine.
- The radio is factory original and outfitted for Japanese bandwidth. It only gets FM channels to 90.5 frequency. The power antenna doesn't work.
In summary, this is a great truck that should continue to provide years of automotive bliss. Be realistic in your expectations and you will not be disappointed. I have a clear Texas title in my name.
Because of its age, the truck is sold as is. Feel free to reach out with any questions at (504) nine 57 - nine 636. Thanks for your interest.
I will be happy to assist with shipping including providing my shipping contact who can assist with very competitive quotes. Depending on the final offer, I will help cover some of the cost of shipping, upto $500.
You will be hard pressed to find a nicer truck. Gets thumbs ups and looks everywhere you take it.
I have a video of the truck running. Feel free to contact me if you want to view it.
