Postby Jacksonb on Tue, 14 Feb 2017 3:24 +0000

Lads,
Just purchased my 2017 SR5 hilux, glacier white auto with the leather interior
It's currently about one week off being completed

Thought I'd share with you the modifications I have,
-2" lift (old man emu) with firestone airbags in the rear
-ARB summit bull bar with fog lights, light bar mounted inside and a pair of lightforce HTX spotlights
-the replacement fuel tank (145lt) frontier tank
-redarc towpro electric brakes
-dual battery set up with built in battery charger and switch to be able to jump start (under bonnet)
-dual cigarette plug inside well body
-slim line tinted weather shields front and rear
-BF Goodrich All terrain K02 tyres
-tinted bonnet protector
-spray in tub liner with also Toyota rubber mat
-dash mat, with both front and rear mats
-hard cover smooth
-have an GME 3800 radio with a custom made slim line roof console that houses the factory interior lights and sunglasser holder, colour matched to the roof lining

Just need to find a decent on board air compressor with tank

If any one has any questions don't be afraid to ask!

Once I get the ute I'll load photos up if people are interested

Hey mate I did a bit of shopping around and took quotes to people and asked them if they could beat it with the suspension, ended up going to make tracks in midland would highly recommend them

For the roof console I called up that place over east and they emailed me photos of different designs whilst on the phone and I designed my own personal one over the phone and they said it should be about 3 weeks, they are matching the colour and everything. I designed it so it looks factory... if you can hold off about two weeks I'm more than willing to show you it in the ute

Are you using two seperate switches for the lights or have you found a single three-way switch?

Nice set up mate
What's your thoughts on the frontier fuel tank ?

IMO I'd be checking for heat soak ,those lights look the goods though a lot of air being blocked from the intercooler.

Check Berrima diesel on YouTube about heat soak testing
If it has tits or wheels ....it'll cost ya money
