    Hi all,

    Recently I bought an RN20 Hilux, recenlty imported from Aisa and I am the first UK owner,

    Its registered January 1979 but I think its a 1978 truck. It has the original 12R 1600cc engine and 4 speed floor shift. Except the fact its been lowered and the wheels its pretty much standard!

    Only driven it a few miles, and so far everything seems great!

    I need to raise the front slightly as the tyres catch the front arch on right hand corners, and also the front it lower than the back anyway.

    No real plans for it, just tidy up a few things here and there and enjoy a few summer days in it!

    The pictures are from before it was imported to the UK, but it now has a UK registration and some UK fuel...!

    -Robbie

    Thats a very clean truck!
    May i suggest rolling the fenders (guards i think you call them overseas) instead if trying the front?

    Thanks all, yes its RHD :)

    The colour is great and is partly why I bought it, although the photos make it look more striking than it is

    Its been in a hot climate so there is some fading here and there, but its certainly a rare sight here in the UK!
