The modified Hilux SR5 on the cover is destined for a Cape York adventure, following an epic transformation from work rig to family tourer. The N80 is loaded with quality equipment for a Cape crusade, including an AMVE canopy, an AFN front bar, a Legendex four-inch snorkel and an In-House Fabrication air-box.
