FINALLY,

after weeks of fluffing around trying to sell old 05 hilux its gone and the new 2015 extra cab sr5 is here!!
so many things to do!! so little money :(
got to say over all im impressed with the car so far. altho i have taken a large leap from an 05 single cab.
Huge thanks to the boys at Hinterland Toyota! going above and beyond. I recommend anyone in the area go see Arnold.

She is pretty stock at the moment.
tinted windows.
rubber mats (that fit really well btw)
e-rust
and a bonnet protector.

Next mods on the list will be a canvas canopy early next year. as well as some draws.
Im going canvas because it just makes sense to me being able to remove it at any time for large loads. as well as the frame structure im creating will move out of the way aswell.
and draws because i want a nice large area to sleep on aswell as be able to load a pallet in the back. so they will be pretty tough draws to take the weight.

Looks very tidy atm Craig. I wouldn't mind an extra can in the new model but my local Toyota can't tell me if they have the car seat mounts in the back like a ranger or the dual cab does. Do you know if yours does???

Hey Guys,
Sorry for the slow reply's.
I've put a photo of the back seat. doesnt seem to be any chance of putting a child seat in there.

So my brother and i have a thing going where we just buy each other car gear when birthdays come around.
So just before Christmas i received a light bar for the front of the Lux.
Just off Fleabay. but he has one on his and seems to be working well.

After many hours trying to fit the damn thing we have found its home just above the number plate.
This is in reality temporary as i will be fitting a bullbar. I'am waiting on Rhino4x4 to release a bar which i've been told will be Feb more than likely. so until then this will do.

mounting is a bit of a pain. honestly, unless you just have to have one id recommend waiting for a bull bar. there is just nothing solid in the front to mount to unless you make up some brackets to hang off some frame work somewhere.
We managed to mount it to some plastic just below the Chrome main grill. with the help of two right angle bracket i found laying around.
