Our 'new' expedition vehicle

TOYOTA SURF

We have just acquired a Toyota Surf (also known as a 4Runner in the UK) and are currently continuing its preparation.

If anyone's interested in assisting this project, please contact Tony on 07855 462591 or email: tony@aidventures.co.uk

We have a set of six Yokohama Geolander Mud Terrain tyres on 110 rims, so we need some 16" wheels and we also have a steering guard, high level axle breathers and diff protectors, which need adapting to fit.

There's also a Warn 8274 winch (currently in a 110 bumper cradle) to be fitted, along with spotlights, a rear dog guard to keep all the thing stored in the 'boot' in the 'boot', a rear worklamp and CB equipment.

It's now out of the workshop having had a new clutch and solid flywheel conversion from Milner's fitted and is running well.

I really need to paint the underneath with Hammerite Smooth and giving it a coating of Waxoyl, before they start covering our roads with salt, which won't be long...
