Picked up my new Hilux at the 18th of Oct

Ordered it with some Aftermarket Accessories
Arb Acsent Canopy
ARB Summit Rear Bar
Safari Armax Snorkel

But had to wait for them to arrive [emoji853]

Nice color choice. looks great

About time to do some updates.... better late than never
7th November 2017
First mods
ARB acsent canopy
ARB Aluminum Tradie Rack
Safari Armax Snorkel
Still waiting for the ARB Rear bar

Added some carpet in the back made by Bedrug....Awesome bit of gear

Rear bar finally arrived early December 2017
And they forgot to color code the infil plate[emoji2357]

ARB’s solution was to order a new rear bar and when it arrives they will swap it over [emoji1303]

Started looking for some new wheels
I liked the catalogue pics of these but in real life there was not enough Dish[emoji1304]

So after a month of searching the web I finally decided on some wheels.
After talking to many tyre shops and being told you can’t fit 0 offset rims on a N80
I had 0 offset on my N70
I decided to go with +18 20x9 Helo rims

Got them off EBay direct from the states, Cheap, before the import duty fees changed

Wrapped them with some 285/55R20 BFG KO2’s

I wasn’t overly happy as they didn’t have as much dish as I would have liked [emoji848]

Finally my replacement rear bar turned up at arb, and yes they got it all color coded this time
It was around this time that I decided to remove the Chrome Toyota Sticker off the Tailgate

I decided the chrome badges, door Handles and mirrors needed to be blacked out
I used plasti dip. Later on I had to do the Door Handles again as they started to peel.

Not great lighting but you get the idea

Ok so I made the decision that I was going to go to Fraser Island with the North Brisbane 4wd Club for the Annual clean up
My first trip to the island. [emoji1303]
But there were a few this I needed to do to my Toy before I went.
Fitted my dual battery system that I had from my old N70
At the heart is a CTEK D250S Dual charger Kings 98ah battery in a ARB Battery tray all under the bonnet.

I also connected my 120ah Amptech Battery in the tray and my 120w Supercheap Auto Solar Panel on the roof rack

I also fitted a pair of Tred Pro recovery Boards to my Roof Rack, for just Incase.
And they still haven’t been used as of 14-10-19

I chose Green to match my recovery points on My AFN Bullbar [emoji1303]
