Captains 1994 x-cab Hilux

[BrageGundersen]

Guess its time for me to do a little logging.
For a little over two weeks ago I took the railway to pick up my new, unseen pickup for $5k. 1994 4x4 x-cab Hilux (Toyota Pickup) powered by a still lazy 2.4D.


One of the pictures from the advertisement.

It was a lot more snow (20") when i picked it up, so you can call it a fun trip home after a half year without my old truck

Its some rust here and there, so I'll change the doors after I've done some sanding and a new paint along with the tailgate, two new front fenders, the bonnet from my spare car, and fender flares from Iceland.

Picked the truck up on a saturday and drove to the most hilly mountain in the southern Norway to do some Red Cross "work". Went home on sunday and worked on the car until 05.00am (for 12 hours). Slept for a few hours and went to work near Oslo, 3 hours from home.
The few days I was home, I got the old 90s stickers rubbed off. Did a weak try of polish the whole car (Have to be redone with paint renovator).
Afterwards i changed the headlight windows in the grille and the exterior mirrors to chrome.

Had 11 days off and most of the time went to lift a mates truck with OME. Got to do some work on my too including mounting Arctic Trucks role bar.

Took the Recaro seats from my earlier pickup and just wired them up with the original seat heater.



Meanwhile I changed to the cup holder I also installed four switches from Hella - still missing two.
Winch ON/OFF, winch in (spring loaded ON), winch out (spring loaded ON), fog lights, driving lights in front, driving lights on role bar



The old, rear dampers were worn out, so they had to be changed. Out with the stock Toyota and in with almost new Old Man Emu.


Just some pics from that day.

Nice rig you got there. Where did you get the Expo Portal banner on your windshield from if you don't mind me asking?

Well I try to do my best with it...

The sticker I had to custom order from a company here home. Just said how I wanted it and discussed it through the 15 min job by prosessing "the Sticker".
