August 1999 I sold my Land Rover Discovery to start the task of building my dream truck. I chose the Toyota Hilux (Pickup) because it is the easiest truck in the UK to modify.
The main problem here in Great Britian is that modifying trucks is quite a new thing and most parts are either imported from the USA or have to be custom made.
This is how my truck looked, what now seems an age ago.
The first thing that I did was to remove the wooden liner in the bed to check that there was no rust. I then painted in a Protectacote liner.
Preparation: Lots of elbow grease with the wire brush.
During: Three coats with a roller and a paint brush (next time it will be sprayed on).
The finished liner. It looks almost this good after 3 years of abuse.
