[jaybags]

That list will be endless..

[Corky44]

Haha yeah I'm seeing that already... Ultimately I would like to set it up as a tourer. Planning on a Cape York trip mid 2016

[Corky44]

Well guys I have been f***ing flat out at work and just haven't had a chance to setup my photo bucket account! I picked the new ute up yesterday lift kit on it and all! I'm really happy with it sure is comfortable to drive compared to the old LN106. I'll be making an account and uploading some photos tomorrow! But so far everything is great! I'm thinking I'll get a set of spring spacers in the front just to level it up a bit and after that will be getting a good set of muddies for sure! The cheese cutters just don't look the part haha

Have a read of this thread before you look at spacers mate.

Hey mate thanks for the info. What are some other ways I can bring the front up an inch or so? Also will I need a diff drop kit?

[mrcranky]

By time you load the back up for your cape trip trust me you will not need to lift up the front any more, more so you will need to get your rear leafs re- set

[Corky44]

well I FINALLY got around to getting some photos sorted only have a few but here goes...
this is her at the dealership before all the accessories

here it is the day i picked it up

here it is now as it sits i pulled off the poxy looking side steps, iv also fitted a set of hella rallye 4000 spotlights with HID kits which I will get a few snaps of tomorrow

[bkstravel]

Like the tray. U Need a set of decent looking rims and tyres now.

[Corky44]

Thanks man, yeah I know haha I literally just walked out of beaurepairs getting a few prices haha!

[SRD4D]

Looks good mate,get some SR5 flares on the front of it and nice big wheels an tyres.

[Corky44]

I was thinking of going no flares... Or the ARB flexi flares maybe haha

[Corky44]

okay so Iv made a little progress... firstly I had a set of Hella Rallye 4000 spotlights with 35w internal HID kits fitted. They were good but not as good as i expected. I pulled my Narva led light bar off my LN106, bought some brackets from supercheap. This is the end result.




Here is my switch panel with some good narva rocker switches


And here is my UHF all fitted, used the hide away type UHF and the box is zip tied up behind the glove box



Iv also been looking at some wheels, here are 2 sets that i liked, let me know your opinions!!

[singlespeed]

Nice! Good to see brand new ones modded.

[jaybags]

Nice one mate.
I'd go with the first set of rims.

[mattwhite]

Keep the pursuities I say.

[packeteer]

build is looking good so far

btw, you'll want some form of side step or slider to protect your sills/paintwork

[Corky44]

Hahaha matt. I can't even give those damn things away! Planning on building my own rock sliders.
Has anyone had trouble fitting 16 inch wheels on a 2014 model? All wheels shops seem to thing they will be fine but a friends of mine said he could only get 17s to fit on his?

I have a 2014 and the caliper is very, very close to the rim. Haven't tried to measure the clearance but it looks like less than 1/2 " to my eye. If you used 16s and buggered around with lots of negative offset and keeping the well and the weld way out from the centreline. you might be able to make it work. Personally, I don't intend to bother with the mucking around and the tradeoffs (and it still might not fit).

There is a pretty good selection of 17" tyres available and the selection will surely increase as bigger brakes and 17s become the norm.

[Corky44]

Perhaps that might be the case... Did Toyota go with bigger brakes on the 2014? I just hate the thought of paying nearly $100 a tyre extra because they are 17 inch!!
