[MICBOD]

Just replaced these tyres today with BFG All Terrain K02.

car looks insane man well done. can u chuck up some photos of the new tyres and rear bar ?? did you go for the same size tyres ??

[MICBOD]

Don't have any pics of new tyres yet, too dark now!

They are the same size, 265/70/17

Here is rear bar

[monaro_77]

Tidy ute man! I'm looking at doing the same sub set up on the back wall any tips or tricks?

[rds_929]

legend thanks heaps man how much did they sting you for the rear step and sahara bar did they install ??

[Carlhilux]

Nice rig mate..... Did you do the flares yourself? Thinking about some for my SR.....

[MICBOD]

Rear Step you can pick up for $900.00 -950.00 if you shop around (Supply only), the front bar was on the car when I bought it.

With the sub set up, it was in the car when i bought it, but if I was to change anything, I would mount the Subs and amp side ways, so the cable inputs were at the sides rather than the bottom. It is a bit hard to see where you are plugging stuff in if you have to play around with it the way it is here, even with the seat out.

Flares were on the car too, but pretty straight forward with silastic and screws, they utilise the holes where the inner guards are screwed in by the look of it. Getting a colour match may be the biggest issue, metal and plastic show colours differently in some colours, look at a Silver VE commodore bumper, them don't look like they are the same colour is you look close!

Sweet ride mate! What did the head unit set ya back?

[MICBOD]

It worked out about $1200 for just the H/U

I also bought a rear camera and the module for the steering wheel controls, plus the headrests..

Cheers

Hi MICBOD

In this photo i noticed you have a different plastic infill where the cigaret lighter is and the switches is that an aftermarket part or original

[MICBOD]

Pretty Sure that is standard - mine is SR model so maybe SR5 is different?

Hello MICBOD
I had a look at the Alpine head unit and the local Autopro store said they are a really good unit and use Hema and Navtech for the maps with over 7000 tracks etc, so I think that would be more than enouugh to check out.
Would you have a picture of it in the Hilux? Does it look like it is suppose to be there or is there gaps, did it fit straight in with no cutting etc?
Cheers
