The first generation Toyota Hilux was a big improvement over the Toyota Stout: it was roomier, more luxurious and longer wheelbase.
The only thing it lacked was a potent engine, especially in the modern days it may look a bit archaic.
The owner of this Hilux solved that by swapping out the 12R engine for something else. Can you guess what it is?
WTF?! A 4AGE? That is the least expected engine in this Hilux: if you want to haul freight you need torque and not a rev-happy engine!
On the other side: imagine getting passed on the highway by a first generation Hilux revving at 7800 rpm! Would give me goosebumps!
