    Default [NSW] 1992 Hilux Surf 4wd & ae92 corolla - both auto

    Unfortunately the time has come for me to see if I can sell my current daily driver.
    I wont have a need for a 4wd anytime soon, so Im looking to downgrade to something slightly smaller.

    I have owned this car for about a year, and have travelled almost 30000km with no major issues and it feels like it will last for a long time still. It is quite a practical car, but I would rather a ute seeing I do mostly city driving.
    Typically the 2.4L is the slowest hilux youll ever drive. It is by no means a fast car, but with the slight engine mods and running a safe 10psi it keeps up with traffic pretty easily. Its a bit painful on some hills and for overtaking, but on boost it still feels better than a stock corolla.
    Ive had a full car and towed a trailer to mudgee and back easily, just a bit slowly. Done countless trips up the coast, a few to lithgow, newcastle etc. I havent towed a car very far, but Id be happy to pretty much drive it anywhere (Im planning a trip down to tassie later this year if I still have it)
    I get 500km to 55L pretty easily with city or highway driving.

    Details;
    -1992 Hilux surf LN130 (imported)
    -NSW rego till december
    -2.4L turbo diesel
    -auto
    -309000km
    -3" turbo back exhaust
    -ep82 top mount intercooler
    -boost gauge
    -new water pump, timing belt, front main seal, glow plugs, diesel filter
    -transmission cooler
    -IPF spotlights with IPF controller
    -dual oddessey batteries with redarc isolator
    -s13 silvia front seats
    -LED interior and boot lights (great for camping or using the tail gate as a bench)
    -speedy 3 piece 15x8 wheels
    -31x10.5 desert duelers
    -2" lifted king springs in the rear, slightly wound up torsion bars in front
    -ARB hilux tube rear step/towbar (also have stock chrome rear bar)
    -reverse camera with screen in rearview mirror
    -new iron man steering damper

    Bad Points
    -power steering pump leaks a bit (like every surf or 4 runner)
    -diesel pump has a slight leak, I have a full seal kit just never installed it
    -Rear main seal is starting to drip oil, or it might be the sump (Ive found it easier to check oil and refill it than to rip the engine apart)
    -exhaust rattles under 800rpm, 3" dump pipe was a tight fit without a body lift
    -interior is a bit dirty, but comes up ok with a clean
    -roof paint is faded
    -clear is coming off passenger guard, just needs a clear coat, paint is still good
    -auto could do with a service, drives perfectly when warm though

    I will be completely honest about the car, because even with the bad points, it is still a great and practical 4wd. I currently do 500km a week with it easily.
    I am open to swaps and trades. Otherwise I am after $5500 for now, negotiable as always.

    Updated pics on the weekend, Im about to make a rear wheel carrier too so I can install a compressor and air tanks where the spare wheel goes.

    ***I also have the gfs corolla for sale. She lost her license and plans to buy a newer car when she gets it back. The body is pretty rough, but runs very well. Pics at the bottom, taking offers around $1100. It has rego till october
