Description
Part 2 of the Cape York Hilux Build Series.
Before we point this 30-year-old Hilux north toward one of Australia’s toughest tracks, it needs a serious overhaul. Suspension, tray, water storage, mechanical maintenance — this isn’t just a quick bolt-on build. The real question is… is this old girl still up for it… or are we about to find out the hard way? 🔧🏝️🚙
