Keen to hear peoples thoughts

Ok Guys,

Next instalment of My build. Technically I haven't added to my build, More so 'Testing' of the progress so far
Go Check it out. My Wife and I head out to a camp site called 'Peach Trees', located in the Jimna state forestry approx. 45mins North West of Brisbane. Spend the weekend there and I can say we WILL be going back.

Let me know your thoughts, Feedback is appreciated!
Cheers all

G'day all who are following,

The date is getting closer to heading up to the cape and decided to so a little comparison. Pretty much where it all began to where I am at right now to date in the form of the ute's transformation. As this has been a long time coming I believe you don't appreciate how much has changed until you compare things side by side.

So I dug up the Very first photo of my Ute and Placed it directly under the photo I took on the weekend.
This made me smile. this was also the highest trending photo on my social media platforms.
So thought I would share it on here - let me know your thoughts!

The ute in the above picture is a well body yet the one you took delivery of is a tray back? Sorry just nit picking

Spitfia,

His first mod was a steel tray, mentions it in his first post.

Spitfia this is true. Very observant.
However my wife's family own the Toyota dealership, so lets just say I had a little bit more exposure/access to my vehicle when it first rolled off the truck at the dealership.

Not to mention this hilux was specifically built and sent to the dealership for me as there were none in Australia with the combination of colour and accessories I wanted. Took Months, worth the wait though.

Fair enough maybe i should pay more attention to those reading words

Been A while since I last posted in here and not to much has changed.
Other then I can tick [Standing at the most northern point of the Australian continent] off the list.

Not that this has anything to do with my 'Build' as such but it was a cracker of a trip. you can check out our trip at the links below. I will type up a trip report soon, I kept a log of kilometres, cost's etc.

Very cool letting your wife drive, I try to do the same, they need to have fun too!

Thanks mate, 100% agree with you.
The more my wife gets involved and enjoys it the more we will get to go out and about together.

Honestly best trip I have ever done and it will be a memory we'll take about forever!
