I am upping the game by swapping my D-Max for a Hilux AT37. Same year, same color, bigger wheels – and I have some amazing plans for it!

As some of you have noticed, I recently sold my belowed “Max” – the 2018 Isuzu D-Max. It has been a tremendous joy to have this pickup truck as my hunting rig, especially with the excellent overlanding gear from Alu-Cab. It has opened a new world to me as well – the world of overlanding. I have met a lot of wonderful people in this community, and I have also learnt a lot from their experiences travelling and living out of a customized rig. Needless to say, swapping to a pickup truck has also had a significant impact on my hunting – it has enabled me to hunt even more than before!

I found the car on FINN.no, bought it unseen from Alta Auto, and finally picked it up in Drammen on April 24th 2023. It was transported all the way from Alta after I bought it a few weeks earlier.

It came with winter tires mounted on, which I obviously had the change as it was now April in no more snow where I was heading.

On my way home I made a quick stop at Arctic Trucks Norway in Drammen. I ordered a lot of gear and had the summer wheels balanced and ready to be put on the car as soon as I got home.

A soon as I got home the car was sprayed down, cleaned as never before and summer tires fitted.

I totally digged my D-Max, but this Hilux is massively cool on 37 inch wheels!

Børre Bratvold at Arctic Trucks Norway made me buy more gear than I planned for, however, on the other side he also set me up with all these AT freebees as I had finally become a true, AT and Hilux overlander!
