    I bought a 2014 MY12 SR spec Hilux on a run out deal for $34k in Perth. Bloody good buy.

    Then I spent $25k turning it into the truck I’ve always wanted! There’s no getting around the fact they aren’t gonna go where a Land Rover will go in standard trim. So now is has diff locks front and rear, GVM suspension upgrade & 2.5” lift, bash plates, snorkel, custom tray and canopy, 4 AGM batteries, 2 fridge freezers, big ass compressor, bull bar, 11000lb winch, 50l water bladder, Coopers, etc etc etc. And I can sleep in it. And it will go where the Land Rover will go, almost.

    Not a hint of bling though. Just hard case ruggedness. 67000km of Outback and 35000km of NZ, its earned its stripes alright. None of that will help with a decision about the SR5 though, sorry, just an ecuse to share my unnatural love of Hiluxes.

    Here’s my African Hilux, lived in (on) this for 3 years.
