hi everyone,
been a member for a few weeks now and just picked up a near new 2012 SR duel cab, 32000k's and came with a factory steel bullbar and arb rear bar.
i bought the car down in adelaide last week and drove back to townsville, all was going well until halfway between cobar and torrens creek where it started pooring with rain and flat out lightening, the dirt 'shortcut' i took quickly turned to crap and i gave 4wd a workout just to get through, the skinny crap tyres didnt help the situation.
Also must have picked up some dud deisel on the way and 30k's out of townsville the filter light came on, after a mild heart attack and some quick searching on here i worked out it was just a clogged filter and made it the rest of the way home with no dramas, a new filter and a filter light reset and its sweet.
So today i wandered into opposite lock and went to town
got some lightforce LED215, aux battery tray, redark BCDC1240LV isolator, HD systems 4WD rust protection kit, uniden UH8010 radio and a couple of camping/reverse LED lights.
ive also got a second fuel filter on order and a 3 inch redback full exhaust with a high flow cat and resonator and its booked in for a long range tank and front a rear e lockers early january.
Spotties went on as soon as i got home as i had already wired in some Lightforce 240's that i stole off my brother for the drive back
when everything opens up again in the new year ill be getting a 3 inch matrix lift kit from monster rides and an axis front bar to replace the toyota bar as well as some buds sliders. then itll be in for a set of 33 inch KM2s.
Ill also put in a stereo and sub in the next couple of weeks and a custom ally tray as soon as i can find a good tig welder to buy and a piggy back ecu as soon as i can make up my mind on what to get, i was looking at the tunit ones at opposite lock today but i might just pick up a stein bauer
well thatll do for now as its well and truely beer o clock so ill update this as i go over the next month or so and hopefully have it all good to go for a cape trip in july
