Dan's Build

Postby dhuds on Mon, 27 Jul 2015 2:43 +0000

Hey Guys!

I bought my 2012 SR Hilux a couple of months ago. It was stock except for the TJM bullbar.

I mainly use her for camping/fishing. Looking at doing a trip to South Aus near the end of the year for a month.

Since then I've added:
- Tough Dog lift to the front (back to come shortly)
- New wheels and tyres
- ARB Canopy and Tub Liner
- ARB Deluxe Roof Rack
- Dual Battery System
- Kings 2.5m x 2.5m Awning
- PVC Pipe for my fishing rods
- GME TX3345 UHF
- Safari Snorkel
- Grande MK III 12,000lb Winch (Sitting in the garage going to try fit it this week)

Near future I'm looking at adding:
- Side Steps
- Fridge where my back seats were on the drivers side
- Spotties (not sure what yet)
- Rear Bar
- Rear draw system

legend thanks mate whats the biggest tyre's you reckon you could fit with that offset ?? i was hoping to get 0 offset but the tyre place said i would have issues with 285's if i went that big so they recommended +10 to be best but i wanted more negative offset for that dish look and for bigger tyres

Put my Grande MK III winch in last week. Already got to test it out as a bloke got his patrol stuck on the job site. Works a treat.
