1999 Toyota Hilux Surf, SSR-X

kage, an OEM optional front bumper guard with multicoat fog lamps, factory rainguards, and 16′′ aftermarket alloys, a stylish Surf like this only comes around once in a blue moon. Save for some minor stone chips and the occasional ding, the cosmetics are in good shape overall, and with some substantial service performed, this truck drives even better than it looks. Best of all, it boasts an impressive 85k miles on the clock, which are verified and documented to sweeten the deal. Collectible, rare, fun to drive, and capable on the daily commute, this unique all-purpose SUV has it all. In fact, we think this Japanese Classic just needs an excited new owner! Sure, the body on frame chassis can withstand its fair share of abuse, but the real value in this Surf is in the mechanicals. Some could say it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and our trained technicians have given this turbodiesel a thorough once-over to be turn-key ready. It turns over with haste, care of two new 12v batteries, and settles into a smooth idle. We installed a new fuel filter to keep contaminants out of the diesel, and we replaced the fuel filter and engine air filter so the four-banger runs seamlessly. The 3.0TD is linked to a manual gearbox that allows you to gain full control over the diesel’s broad torque curve and powerband. The driver can select between 2WD and 4WD on the fly, and a center locking differential and low range can be utilized for your off-road escapades. Also replaced on the lift were the front CV axles and axle seals, which we installed after a front diff fluid flush. The suspension received a healthy refresh and numerous upgrades. New inverted Eibach shocks with 2.5-inch lift springs were added, and we took care of new front lower control arms and ball joints, rear upper and lower control arms, and installed new sway bar links and bushings. It drives like a dream and tracks straight as an arrow thanks to a fresh alignment. New inner and outer tie rods were also installed to make dialing in the fresh alignment a bit easier. The wheels have been wrapped in new 33′′ Falken rubber. The tires look mean as all getout, and throughout all the lands, we think discerning Toyota enthusiasts will go nuts over this one of a kind 4×4!
