LED LIGHT BAR IS TEMPORARY TILL NEW CURVED LED BAR ARRIVES!!!


Photo's: Will be getting some better shots through the week. Apologies for the shitty angle shots.

I like everything except the light bar.....just doesn't suit the car. Just my opinion mate

Have you got any close ups of the rhinorack ? How is it mounted. Looks great! Light bar is a bit distracting . Chuck it on the front of the roof rack.

+1 on the light bar.

But just a request. But some pics without ridiculous angles? I love the look but feel like sitting here moving my head to see it blows

Light bar looks ridiculous. Spoils a nice ute

Yep i thought some of you wouldn't like the light bar.

The LED light bar is just temporary guys. Came off my old shorty pajero. Just needed something on there for the long weekend that just went. I have on order a 50" 700watt curved light bar for underneath the rhino rack and a pair HID spots for the front.

Apologies for the angled shots "Localfart". Its all i could find for the time being.

Light bar is shit house !!!, rest of the ute looks good

Again the light bar is just temporary till my curved light bar for the rack arrives. "Fasteddie"

I will post some better photo's sometime this week The platform came with rails which the feet sit in. The feet i chose are removal via a key. Makes it really easy if you ever need to remove the platform.

Nice mate, Did u powder coat or paint the sports bar?

real subtle - haha!
I looked at the light bar again - it looked like the business end of a serious weekend machine. Nice contrast to the rest of the car which is a luxury ute.

Like the SAS, they have the best equipment, but all modded out shape and combat ready to take care of the business in hand. No Combat ready SAS unit has ever passed inspection btw.

16x8 rims clear the brakes ok, or is a typo?

First 2016 hilux i see with 16!! . Looks very nice with the bar work / wheel tyre combo . Do you happen to know the offset of the rims ?

Yeah guys, 16" rims fit.

Hey mate what did wheels and tyres set ya back. Also are they noisy on the road?
Looks good im getting mine in a couple weeks.. wish they'd hurry up so i Can fit it out lol

Hey Adunn,

Did you have a choice of height for the pioneer rack (clearance from roof) I'm thinking about the same rack but would like it closer to the roof.

Would love some more pics on the bullbar going to get one myself and this one looks sweet! Love the wheels on it too.

How's does the mmr go? Did you look at remote res shocks bp51, icon etc.

could you actually drive it without scrubbing the guards with the stock front bumper?

Hey mate looks good, got any other pics, also just wondering if the front tyres scrub at all?
