After an amazing 9 months traveling around southern and eastern Africa, it’s time for us to say farewell to Wily, our beloved 2.7-liter, manual, chain-driven, petrol, overland-ready Toyota Hilux. Wily is registered in South Africa and is available now in Cape Town area.
During our trip, we didn’t hesitate to replace or repair any parts that need fixing. Our goal was to keep Wily in good health to avoid having trouble in remote areas (those off-the-beaten paths where we all like to go). This strategy paid off and we never broke down or were stranded on the side of the road. And we believe this sturdy bakkie is ready for another African adventure...with you!
We’ve done the following notable mechanical work, among other extra minor bits and regular maintenance (i.e, oil changes and wheel alignments), during our trip. *Repair records provided on request.
