Quelchy's 2012 Dual Cab

[quelch]

Hey Everyone!

I'm loving reading these member buildup's so I'm gonna start one myself! (Will be a work in progress)

3 months ago I picked up my 2012 SR5 Dual Cab Hilux with 130,000 K's on the clock. Was used as a shopping trolley for most of its life, so was pretty stock, except for the canopy & dvd player!

Flew up to Mackay and picked it up. Drove it back down to Brissy! Nothing like a road trip in a new car

The spare off the old mans 120 series Prado happened to find its way onto the lux
Filled in the gap nicely but scrubbed quite a bit with the standard height!

Nice one mate, Best color too! I'm guessing that's a 32, time to go up!

That one was a 33 inch! Had a little bit of a play with some plasti-dip and the radio surround, I think it came up a treat, stops alot of the glare!

Added a strip of leds to the inside the canopy, need some sunnies when you turn them on
Also installed a redark dual battery system and a neoprene centre console cover for a little bit of extra comfort!

Next up some light for the front..

I chose some to add some sneaky STEDI QUAD LED Driving Lights behind the grill until I get my bar work. Really happy with the light output for the size of them, 1km easy even behind the grill!

It was the week before Easter and I decided I needed new tyres for a trip away... which meant new lift to fit tyres!
I opted for the Dobinsons MRR adjustable kit, really happy with the quality and the comfort of the ride. Definitely better ride than the saggy standard!
Picked up the kit and a few hours later it was in


It's hard to get good help...


Done & Dusted


Next up was the tyres.. I ended up going with 32's went to the 4x4 and fishing show in Brissy and got a good deal on some Bfg A/T's! I wanted something a bit different to black sunraisers so I paired them with the Tuff T6 rims.

Its somewhere between a 2&3, my front was sagged so much to start with its about a 3.5 from how it was. Not sure what ET means could you please clarify?

[Caleebra]

aah, sweet!

This might probably explain better than words


Hilux comes with standard wheels on ET +30

Ahhh offset! They're +25's never heard the term ET used for offset before

[Caleebra]

oh, yeah, offset might be the correct term.
The term ET originates from the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which translates as 'insertion depth' just to clarify that
