2000 Hilux Raider modification advice

Hiya,

I’ve got the 3L diesel, non-4x4 model of the 2000 Hilux Raider, and I am seeking advice on how I can modify or improve anything on this vehicle, both performance wise (engine, mechanics) and aesthetics.

If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. I’m based outside of Cape Town, South Africa, in case you’re a fellow South African with local tips and links.

Full disclosure - I am not clued up on this kinda thing, but keen to learn, and I want to improve the driving experience.

PS: Sometimes I wonder if I should sell this car, and get a newer-but-still-2nd-hand Toyota that has more “creature comforts” like a Fortuna D4D with automatic transmission. Is that the move, or should I rather put some time and effort into making this Hilux more fun? (The fuel consumption and the latest diesel prices is what motivated this consideration)
