The second Toyota Hilux to be featured on Modified but the first in its model range of the sixth generation (2002-2005). This turbo diesel Hilux is the pre 2006 model before the D4D motor. 

Warrens 2003 Toyota Hilux is one of the most modified going around in Western Australia that we know of, the engine bay has nearly got every upgrade possible and all the necessary bar work to take on the rough technical tracks.

Warrens Hilux is also armed with a rear locker to fill the gap when it comes to deep flexing on the tracks with its 2 inch suspension lift kit. 

This Toyota Hilux is setup for long trips along the coast, remote travel and of course to get to Warrens fav fishing spots…

This 3.0l Hilux is will provide plenty of ideas for those looking at getting one or kitting on out.
