B*ll*cks - I've gone and written it off after being rear-ended hard enough to bend the chassis, and being rammed into the vehicle in front. Well there you go

Looks like I'm looking for another overland vehicle. It was quite a good truck though the engine wasn't a beast by any means, it's very light and if power to weight ratio is important in sand, probably a perfectly good overlander though not very comfortable, cheap too in parts and so-on... I shall have to look for something else.

Damn!

Is it not repairable?
Paint and panels can be rough and ready on an overlander, could the chassis be botched/repaired?
Plenty of spares around for Hilux's

Good luck

Nope it's a goner Chris - it's going to be cheaper to walk away from this one, as it's damaged front and back and I want a reliable engine. I don't have that much time to mod cars so it will cost me too much to fix. So I'll get the insurance money together and try find another one...

Anyone gone overlanding in a hilux then?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
