    Nice review.I have this ute.. My 1998 toyota hilux 4x4 dual cab SR5 ,2.7 lt petrol is a beauty.I have had it for 6yrs and have never had any mechanical issues whatsoever.I like the shape of this ute and the standard steel rims look much better than the alloys on the ute in this video.If you can buy one that is looked after and don't drive it like a race car ,they will give you many enjoyable years of ownership.

    good rigs the mk4(uk).. mine outdid plenty of lifted solid axle rigs offroad running a 4" kit, front diffs break but are cheap to replace and the rest is strong..they are superior on the blackstuff aswell .. mine has an lc80 sas conversion now , but coiling the rear with the front still IFS first was the best mod , and that transformed its abilty and still kept its road manners .. why the IFS model never got a coiled rear option is beyond me .

    looking at a 1997 sr5 2.8 deisel dualcab 302740km asking price $8.2k thoughts?

    • @OnTheDirt
      @OnTheDirt  Před 8 lety

      +Trandytran Glad to see you enjoying our videos. Is $8,200 good value? Well as usual that all depends. 300k kms is a lot of K's, but diesel motors last a long time. I'd be more concerned with everything else. All the running gear will be getting pretty much near its 'use by date', so you may find you'll have a lot of things to replace during your ownership. It's always hard to judge good value without seeing what it is and what it has. But if you have a good look at it from top to bottom and understand what you are getting yourself into, then it will probably be ok. Hope you get something good.
