• steel tray, toolboxes.

Mods that I've done so far.
• UHF radio.
• alpine DVD headset.
• focal split speakers
• jl audio sub

• arb air compressor
• 2 gallon tank.
• horn
• rear work light
• rocksliders
• hella spotties.
• airtech snorkel

Took the tray off and got rid of all the surface rust. Gave it a fresh coat of paint.


Hopefully getting some height soon.

I'm just about out of my time as a chippie. 20 yrs old now. Lovin the lux. My wallet isn't. Haha. Better off spending the coin on it rather than drugs, nissans. You get my drift. :p

[danmcccc]

[Danslux]

As it came

[Danslux]

Tryin to get the uploading pics sussed, as I'm my computer is crap. So I'm tryin to do it all from my phone. Bare with me.

as the car came from a cattle station the first thing i did was pull the tray off and get rid of all the surface rust and stone chips.



took the lux for a spin while the tray was off. goes like a rocket with out the weight.



finished product. >>>

[Danslux]

would love to put these bad boys on. unfortunately they were goin on a short wheel base sierra. yeah i know what a waste. haha nah, one tuff sierra

[Danslux]

Next was the snorkel.
as asked here are some pics. i will take a better pic inside the engine bay tomorrow "Inassiff".

It was a tough decision between the airtech nd safari. but the airtech won me over. as explained in other threads. Very happy with the final product.














If your short tempered like. you'll come across these little buggers. Recommend picking up some of these. either from toyota, super cheap, repco etc. You'll need 12 of them, should only set u back $15.

As she sits now. so low in my eyes. haha will get there...





Some random pics out and about.
Pulling a nissan out. Definantly had to be loaded up....

Those Rockstar wheels are in my birthday's wish list hehe

[Danslux]

i think alot of ppl will agree. forgot to ask the guy how much they set him back. few k easily.
I'd be to worried bout them getting scratched or stolen. do look awesome though...

Hey m8,put the clips in first and then liner.Grab some 6mm screws with 10mm hexhead.
Then it makes it easier to get the liner out (and you're not breaking the clips).

nice mud shots, looks like your snatch strap has seen some use

Just wondering if you had any troubles fitting the snorkel, i've had mine sitting in the shed for 2 months. Bit scared to put it on. But i am not payin $250 for TJM to fit it up.

I have placed the template on the panel and it seams like there is too much room for error. I wonder if TJM use the same paper template

Hey rhodesy.

I know what you mean about "room for error". I had a look at mine beforehand aswell and noticed that. I guess it's all about holding your tongue right. Haha I had to make some minor adjustments on mine. Pays to have a di grinder handy. Also helps to have another set of hands. Got my brother to hold around the holesaw (just incase it decided to try nd run off). All went well though. Comes together pretty easy.

Good luck.
