1990 Toyota Hilux Diesel SR5 4x4 crew-cab Pickup

Description for Toyota Hilux 1990

This Hilux is actually from the outback and it's ready for camping, bugging out or just daily driving. I personally imported it from Australia (RHD) here to Georgia and it has a clean title. I'm the only US owner. It starts, runs and drives great with no issues and it needs nothing to be a daily or a fun weekend ute. It was outfitted for outback camping to which I'll go over all the details. The owner in Western Australia originally used it to take in the bush and camp out for extended trips.

- 2.8 3L Diesel engine. Timing belt recently done. Compression is good and starts easily in cold weather without glowing. It leaks some oil and burns some, but that's to be expected.

- New starter

- 5-speed

- Solid front axle

My driving style:

I warm it up for 45 seconds before I slowly take off. I have alwaysacceleratedslowly (it's not fast anyhow) andI never get the tach over 3k. My braking entails planning for stop wife gets on to me that I drive like an old man, but my vehicles last a long time and are not abused. So, I'm good with that.

The bad:

- Softball sized dent in right-rear of cab light. I never attempted to fix it with fiberglass, etc. as it never bothered me and isn't too apparent.

- A-pillar had a dime sized rust hole near the vent window. Killed the rust and treated with POR.

- The usually small scrapes and bumps from regular use in Australia.

- Gas gauge isinaccurate after first 100km - it starts to droprapidly, but the gas light works fine and I usually fill up around 500km anyhow. Basically, it's probably getting hung up in the tank.

So, to sum it up this is a rare purpose-build solid-axle Hilux that's ready for duty. You won't be let down in this rig and you'll likely not see another one in this shape or spec. Most that you see are from Japan and have lower miles, but questionable maintenance. The only reason I am selling is I need my garage space back, I've had my fun with it and I'm looking to pass it along. If you're serious, I'd be happy to answer any questions, so please message me with your number.
