G'day From SA

G'day From SA

Postby RoboChock on Fri, 18 Apr 2014 6:00 +0000

G'day people, just a quick bit on me

New to the Forum, proud owner of a 2007 KUN26R Dual Cab SR5, (literally a week ago). Also member of military (Transport), and a true blue Aussie! From the Limestone Coast in SA.

Current Mods- ARB winch bar, LightForce Genesis Driving Lights, Warn 9000LB winch. 2 inch lift, OME suspension, ARB Canopy and roof rack, RedArc Duel Battery.

Been driving utes of the SS variety, for the last 10 years, but miss been able to get out off the blacktop and see the country proper. So time for an upgrade! Looking forward to your comments and suggestions on getting my new bus up to an all-singing all-dancing off road machine!

Cheers

Image Welcome to the forum Robo :D coming from SS utes I'm surprised you haven't gone down the chip and exhaust route to regain a bit of pep in your step.. :D

Thanks lads, cheers for the welcome! I'll eventually get some pics up! Just trying to get all the mods done that I can before I head up North and West.

Bloody useful site and forum from what I've seen so far, looking forward to adding my views

And Rocket, the chip and exhaust are on the way, just thinkin a bar and winch would be the best to go on first due to the roos along the Stuart! But it's coming, and then it's go time...... :D

Miss the SS, but man I wish I'd got a lux years ago!
