MAD's 2012 SR Xtra cab. Update pg 3

Postby mad_industries on Thu, 03 Jan 2013 8:05 +0000

G'day fellas

Been hiding around here for a little while now, learning plenty and getting way too many ideas!
Picked up my new lux 21st dec, 2012 after a 2 month wait.
The old man has always been a toyota man (LC 79 V8TD, 33s, 3" zorst, OME, ARB etc) and finally got his way into me having one too.
Below are my past 2 utes.

Silver VZ (1st car)

Then upgraded to the VE

Now for the best part THE HILUX!

Custom Tray (nothing over the top)
Air Con
ARB Deluxe Combo Winch Bar
ARB Flares

i couldnt find a single fault with the newpro kit at all.
fast delivery, extremely well packed.
instructions are clear while also self explanatory. i installed by ballast internally and all seemed well.
only been out once really to align them and they light up pretty well and bright, this wasnt fully dark and was a full moon too

would recommend them for sure

So a few updates have happened;

First off removed side steps (loaded with work stuff)
Image

Dual Battery Setup (consisting of Redarc bcdc1220, Optima Yellow, ARB tray with two merit points in rear cabin)
Image

ARB Compressor
Image

GME TX3100 uhf in ashtray slot
Image

Also got a new 38l Engel for my bday couple weeks back so the dual battery got a good hurry up.
