Hello all im new to the Hilux club, got a '92 2,4td and i live in kidderminster in the midlands. Its been a bit of a winter project as i got it with a busted front diff, so got it ship shape and recently mot'd it. Still got some odd jobs to do such as fit lifted coils, some mud terrains, and attach a rear spoiler i had given as it was cracked which leads me to a question. The truck is grey metallic but i cant find a colour code or anything for it, any ideas where im likely to find out what shade of grey it actually is?
Found this site to be really useful so far, looking forward to using it properly to see what it can do!

Hi an welcome, why do you have 2 diff sets of wheels on either side?

I shall have to get a look at the events forum i haven't looked yet. Im keen to see how capable these things are, compared to my last couple of cherokee's! Im quite into the green laning thang as shropshire worcestershire and wales are on the doorstep (strata florida my fav so far). Is the plate your refering to the one with the engine code on?
Ive just refurbished some genuine alloys because when i had it, it had after market ones on and i prefer the factory ones personally, and i just cleaned it and fitted my clear lights that day

Diff. Diff = different or diff = differential.

So did we, but you know Sancho has a bit of a warped way of thinking. Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with some people these days, always twisting peoples words.........
