BATOMBA'S LUX BUILD - SOLD
Posted: Wed, 09 Nov 2011 5:59 +0000
Okay thought I should start a build thread since the building is now ready to begin.
First part of the build is to actually have a hilux to 'build'!
Well thank god, after months of waiting the new toy has arrived. Picked up a 2011 MY12 SR5 hilux manual diesel today. Only extra's being reverse camera, bonnet protector, head light protectors and toyota floor matts.
So even though I had the newhilux clothes, I can actually now say I am part of the family.
So what a day it has been. Did some driving, already nearly clocked up 200km in one day, spent ages trying to nut out the Stereo / Sat nav unit.
Now to my first stupid moment - Had to fill up with diesel, went looking for Caltex's Vortex Premium diesel. Went to about 4 Caltex service stations but they only had vortex diesel, so by this time I'm getting frustrated searching for this premium version. So I ring caltex and ask where the hell can I find the vortex premium diesel, they reply (after having a giggle) with the vortex diesel is the vortex premium diesel. Oops.
