SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING NEW

EVAN HAS PINCHED GEAR FROM HIS HILUX FOR THE FJ CRUISER BUILD, BUT SOME CLEVER NEW PARTS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE IT ALL WORK

- EVAN SPENCE

YOU have to hand it to Toyota; it has a knack of developing one part and using it across as many different vehicles as possible. It makes perfect sense from an engineering and cost-saving point of view, and it also makes it easier for us four-wheel drivers to swap parts. You see, before I build the courage to list my old Hilux for sale (selling stuff is the worst) I looked at what I could take from it to save me some money but not decrease its resale value. There were two items I deemed worthy of hanging on to, the throttle controller and UHF radio.
