Hi.
Here's my build thread which I'll try not to bore you with too much. I've noticed a lot of 4wd builds going on so at least mine will be different. I wanted a cheap to register and insure but plenty of power 2wd ute to scare the knickers off just about everyone so I started looking around for a 2tr-fe hilux.
I have 4 kids and so the workmate was the ticket... and a hell of a lot sexier than any of those stupid 7 seater Honda is etc lol. I saw some pics of the F150 thunders and I thought 'yeah I can do that... but on a smaller more Aussie scale" so with those pics as my inspiration I went shopping.
I missed out on a couple of good deals but as luck would have it I came across a 2006 model that had been owned by a mechanic. It already had upgraded head unit, 2 amps, subwoofer very well installed. Yes I love my music. The rear had been lowered 2.5 inches. 18 inch mags and a internal rollcage installed. An aftermarket security system as well. Perfect.
It also had a roof rack and I wanted to be able to carry a ladder so the first thing I did was install the rear ladder bar.
