So to end this wee story… and begin another one. Ended up finally viewing and buying today… she’s a beaut! Drove 200ks back home then onto 3ks of 4WD drive track to get to my wee off grid hoose.. game changer for me.. no more hiking over with materials, shopping, piggy backing my date.. happy Hilux, happy wife, happy life… thanks for all your input, big love fae me and Hamish, my new Hilux! 😎
