Been a while since I posted on here.
It's been a wild couple months for the poor hilux. She's had ups and downs and major front end plastic surgery that made her look worse than Kaitlin Jenner.
Got to take her out a couple times. First was to land cruiser park, it was a awesome day out and nothing went wrong at all
As I was driving I didn't get to take photos and my go pro shat itself halfway through the day.
The next big thing that happened was I was involved in a 5 car pile up which beat up the front end a fair bit. Thankfully it was all low speed and no one was injured. 3 car where written off and mine was undrivable. The bullbar was pushed so far back it was sitting ontop of the tyres. Smashed my spotties, grill, bullbar was all mangled and torn and my headlights were cracked. Thankfully it didn't bend the chassis or push into the engine bay.
All fixed up now and back on the road within 2 weeks. Can't thank racq enough they were awesome and luckily I updated my policy with all my modifications so it was all covered and replaced with brand new gear. Except the bullbar which they straightened and did a great job too.
As soon as I got her back I took it out to glasshouse for a night run, got to make sure she was still good. Again went great, did manage to dint a sill and push the bull bar back a lil but no biggie. Met up with a bunch of blokes from Mud It 4x4 Australia and drove some tracks with them. Great bunch of guys and it was a good night exploring around
Aaaaaaaand coming up the next two week is some power upgrades. She's getting a 3" exhaust, hks tuning module and NPC heavy duty clutch. I've also fitted a k&n high flow filter and a 3" stainless steel snorkel.
Also got the tonnea cover altered, got it cut around the rear bars and had a large zip stitched in along the cabin side so I don't have to unclip the whole cover only half now and the zip to get to my toolbox. So handy.
Here's how she sits now
