Companies like Ironman 4×4 prides itself on offering off-road enthusiasts the products that they need to create lasting memories on their adventures. To acknowledge the support from their customers, Ironman 4×4 in Alberton recently hosted a Hilux day where owners these bakkies came to show off their cars and their 4×4 accessories.
A variety of Hilux bakkies attended the day, some clean, others dirty, some were old and some new. Some of the vehicles are used daily whereas others are specially modified for off-road competitions and overland adventures. The event had a competition in which judges from SA4x4 as well as Halfway Toyota judged the condition of the vehicles.
Judging was split into three categories; daily use, overland and competition. Daily use judging focused on the overall condition and neatness whereas, in the overland category, recovery items, tools, extra batteries, water, bumpers and upgraded suspension were the points of interest. In the competition category, judges looked for protective elements such as roll cages and underbody protection. The best Hilux of the day walked away with a 12V Monster Winch worth R16 500. The second prize came in the form of a 74L IceCube Fridge while third prize was a set of new Ironman 4×4 LED Spotlights.
A well-received visitor to the event was the 2019 Braai Master, The Braai Mafia, himself who supplied hungry event-goers with mouth-watering pulled pork buns.
